--- Comment #7 from Aryo Da <rs...@altfeld-im.de> --- I think this a severe bug for all backup use cases of rsync that take a full snapshot with permissions (--perms) by creating hardlinks to unchanged files + copies of changed files (--link-dest): -> Whenever an old snapshot is deleted with `rsync --delete` the permissions of the hardlinked files change and trigger another copy of the files in a new snapshot (= waste of storage space and backup run-time). -- 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.
