HI, I have a scenario where a filesystem i.e /fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils is residing on a fileserver i.e. fs13. Contents of this filesystem are as follows:
# ls -l /fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils lrwxrwxrwx ........ include-> /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/include lrwxrwxrwx ........ tool_utils-> /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/tool_utils The filesystems being pointed to i.e /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/include and /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/tool_utils both reside on another fileserver, i.e fs12. They(/fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/tool_utils and /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/include) are NOT mounted on the /fs13 fileserver, hence not available on the /fs13 fileserver. In the /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/utils/include, for example, there are also sym-links linking to other FILES, but these files are residing on fs12 fileserver. I would like to rsync the /fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils filesystem on the fs13 fileserver to another fileserver called sgfs. I've tried the following on sgfs fileserver: sgfs fileserver contains the /tmp directory. rsync -avzol fs13:/fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils /tmp/ and also rsync -avzoL fs13:/fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils /tmp/ but both ways did not get the files copied to sgfs fileserver. Could someone point out I should rectify this problem? I've also tried copying filesystems of /fs12/m6.uecommon.1/ from fs12 fileserver to sgfs fileserver, then recreating the links to it from /fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils in sgfs, but that seemed ineffiecient, as I had to perform rsync 2X, one for stuffs on /fs12/m6.uecommon.1 and the other for /fs13/m6.uecommon.1/wmt8/utils.
