--- Comment #3 from Aditya Basu <azb...@psu.edu> --- Apologies for the late response. It is definitely a bad idea to mix multi-case systems. However, note that even copying between case-honoring systems can have similar consequences, for ex. case-insensitive (icase) ZFS considers K (unicode kelvin sign) and k (alphabet) to be equivalent while icase ext4 does not. I agree with you analysis of the ordering. However, IMHO traversing symlinks at the target is not a wise choice. An *immediate* fix to this particular issue would be to prevent rsync for traversing symlinks at the target. However, a more *complete* fix should involve detecting collisions and stopping the copy. We're currently exploring different types of defenses for collisions. If you're interested, I will be happy to keep you in the loop. Finally, does it make sense to get a CVE number assigned? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
