similar to: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4037] New: Rsync should obey --keep-dirlinks when searching basis dirs

Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

Hi, I have gone through the rsync documentation and also tested same both --no-implied-dir and --keep-dirlinks options. My question is what is the difference between these options in below scenario? I have /foo/bar is the symlink to /foo/baz at source and same directory structure with symlink is there at destination. When I sync the data from /foo/bar/* with --relative option specified, I am

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended. Details/example: - Host 1 directory-structure: drwx------ ./1

Hello, I'm trying to push some data from one machine to another via rsync source machine uses rsync 3.0.8, it's a CentOS 5.6 Linux with rsync 3.0.8 package from rpmforge destination machine uses rsync 3.0.6, it's a Scientific Linux 6.0 with rsync 3.0.6 from its repository destination machine is running a rsync daemon with the following configuration: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.

Hi, I just read the thread http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-June/009678.html which describes how --keep-dirlinks came to be. My use case is similar, but I?d like a similar option for files as well. Setup: in my public_html I have some symlinks which I send over as files, with -L (for various reasons: partly, because they are copies of current work which is done elsewhere, or

It would be nice if rsync offered a way to specify individual dirlinks to keep without keeping all dirlinks. (Unison can do this.) For example, consider the following command: rsync -a --relative src/./ dest/ If rsync refrained from trimming a trailing /. off of source arguments (at least as an option), one could keep a dirlink by passing it as an additional source argument with a /. and

Wayne, I have redone get_local_name again (patch attached), this time to enable rsync to remove a file to make way for a destination directory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements. Tell me what you think, and if you decide to commit my code,

Hi folks, I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R (--relative) and -H. so far ok but: I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant directory names on target. How can I achieve that? I thought -k
