What's a VPS? > but cannot get it to cross filesystem boundaries. I think you're getting confused. A filesystem boundary is where one filesystem is mounted at some place in another filesystem. It is not concerned with symlinks. > My Gallery data is on a separate filesystem now (/mnt/storage is the > filesystem, /mnt/storage/var is the new gallery data location that is > symlinked to) (I moved it in the past couple months sometiem), so it > needs to be backed up. > I tried to have a new vault to point to it (using /mnt/storage and > /mnt/storage/var), but that didn't work (I'd prefer it to be in the main > vault tree anyway). You don't provide output to show what went wrong, either for the separate vaults or the combined one, so we have to guess. dirvish (actually rsync) isn't going to cross symlinks unless you give it explicit instructions. Check out rsync's -L option if you want it to. But personally I'd try to rearrange storage so there was a single tree, or else use two separate vaults. > After I rechecked and cleaned up my settings as below I removed the > backup from last night and reran dirvish-runall but the data is still > missing. > xdev: 0 This has nothing to do with symlinks _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
