https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12036 Bug ID: 12036 Summary: Multiple --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest flags produce incorrect behavior Product: rsync Version: 3.1.2 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component:

I noticed that rsync is happy to hard-link a device node from a --link-dest dir even if its mtime differs from that of the source device node and --times is given. Is this behavior expected? It seems to break the rule that a difference in preserved attributes disqualifies a hard link. To see the behavior, run the following as root: mkdir src dest basis mknod src/null c 1 3 sleep 1 mknod

Hi, below you find a patch fixing a bug in the file comparison code: The current code skips the unchanged_file() check when that check succeeded for an earlier candidate, which could lead to accepting a file with a different checksum as unchanged, for example. Please be aware that the patch is untested. Florian diff --git a/generator.c b/generator.c index a112da6..2df1b28 100644 ---

Folks, Thinking again about the issue of changed attributes for a file in source that is identical in content to a file in destination that is hard linked get propagated to the --link-dest directories I would like to suggest a new flag, (perhaps called something like --preserve-linked-attributes), to allow callers to get the behaviour that is needed to allow the use of recycled

hi before checking in that chown fix, i wanted you to take a look. tested on my workstation. basicaly the patch takes care that logtail saves the offset file with the correct permissions. when playing around lately with file tampering and those invoking logcheck as root. i got similar output to #253998 Alfie may point out that i should not invoke logcheck as root, but i better fix that before

A while ago (2.6.2), I built and posted a patch which caused rsync to "do the right thing" where --link-dest was being used and where files had been changed only in their ACLs. I've recreated this for 2.6.8 (there were some small differences). I've tested this using --link-dest copying from Linux-Linux and Linux-Solaris. I plan to test Solaris-Solaris too, of course. But

I noticed that rsync itemizes "p" whenever it copies a new file and finds an alternate basis file whose permissions differ from those to be applied to the destination file, even when --perms and --executability are both off. To see this, run the following in an empty directory: mkdir src dest basis touch src/file basis/file chmod 600 src/file chmod 644 basis/file rsync -r -ii
