HI, I'm trying to exclude some files & directories from a filesystem which I would like to copy to a different site. I did:
# rsync -avz --exclude-file=/fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt /fs22/a/circuit_design mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design where file /fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt contains the following directories and files to be excluded from /fs22/a/circuit_design : # cat /fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt /fs22/a/circuit_design/file1 fs22/a/circuit_design/file2 fs22/a/circuit_design/dir1 I'm invoking rsync from a machine named winnie.willow.com to transfer files/directories in /fs22/a/circuit_design to mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design. However, it still copies all files or directories in the filesystem /fs22/a/circuit_design to mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design. It should not include the files/directories mentioned in the /fs21/tmp/perl_scripts/exclude.txt file. I've tried with the following for excluding just 1 file or directory and it works: # rsync -avz --exclude=/fs22/a/circuit_design/file1 /fs22/a/circuit_design mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design It does not however work when I did the following for excluding >1 file/directory: rsync -avz --exclude=/fs22/a/circuit_design/file1 --exclude=/fs22/a/circuit_design/file2 /fs22/a/circuit_design mickey.willow.com:/cpu/store/design I was wondering if this should be the way to rsync a filesystem, excluding some files/ directories? Please help. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
