similar to: --keep-dirlinks --delete erroneously deletes symlinks to directories

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, 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

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

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.

If I have a backup script that does the following: (latest 2.6.9 rsync) rsync --archive --hard-links --force --ignore-errors --numeric-ids --keep-dirlinks --delete / /backup I've found that if there is a symlink in place that gets backed up (which goes fine), i.e.: homelink -> /home/ and then that symlink gets changed into an actual directory, i.e.: rm homelink mkdir homelink rsync

Hi all, We are running a samba (3.0.14a-3 / sarge) server with windows 2000 Client.

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

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 all, Well, I'm getting somewhere I think, I now have both ACL support and domain login basically working. However I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Basically I want to copy over a large number of files and directories (~300k files, ~60Gb total) from an existing W2k server to a Samba server. These files have existing ACLs set, so I need to preserve them somehow. I can

Hello, when trying to rsync files between hosts, I ran into a surprising case in which rsync replaces a symlink with a directory, with no indication of any kind. In the following reproducer, rsync is called as follows: rsync --verbose --recursive --relative --delete a/./lib/modules b/ Directory b contains a 'lib' symlink pointing to 'usr/lib', and rsync removes that and

rsync's -v is fairly useless. Learn to use -i instead or in addition to.

I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to run an rsync daemon which makes a mix of "real" and symlinked folders available to a client such that all the folders appear as "real" to the client. I realize the --copy-links and --copy-dirlinks accomplish this when invoked from the client side (and that is currently how I am accomplishing this). Is there any way to

Well, note that I didn't say anything about the lib/ directory in that command; it's just that rsync decided to remove the symlink component from the path lib/modules/. Wouldn't it be more useful to make it
