I was cloning a fedora31 system to another partition using rsync using the

So what am I not understanding?
Did it look like this?
/dev/sdd1 on / type blah blah
/dev/sdd2 on /data type blah blah
or like this?
/dev/sdd1 on / type blah blah
/dev/sdd3 on /data/thingy type blah blah
rsync -x includes anything you explicitly mention (so, all
subdirectories of the top situation) and excludes filesystems
mounted underneath what you mention (so, not /data/thingy in the
bottom situation).
-dsr-
So data is a mount point in character with the first
example, it is not a bind mount. I understand that by using
the "-a" option that recursion is implied but if I added
"-x" that it would skip recursion into normal mount points.
/rsync -x includes anything you explicitly mention (so,
all subdirectories of the top situation) and excludes
filesystems mounted underneath what you mention (so, not
/data/thingy in the bottom situation)./
So if I'm understanding this, if there were a mount point
/backups below /data such as /data/backups then /backups
would not be recursed because it was not part of the top
level listing in the command.
