maybe someone has also had this issue:
I try to copy the root partition "/" to a subdir "/Volumes/System". This is not a cyclic recursion, because "/Volumes/System" is a mounted hard disk partition. So I gave rsync the parameters "-x" for one-file-system, and '--exclude "/Volumes/" ' also:
# rsync -ax --showtogo --stats --exclude "/Volumes/" / /Volumes/System
But I get a protocol error (broken pipe) in io.c. When copying all the subdirectories manually, everything works, so I think he tries toa void a cyclic copy.
(I'm using rsync 2.5.5, or rather rsyncx 1.7d, a special version for Mac OS X. I've booted the computer from a FireWire harddisk, and I try to clone that boot partition to the local harddrive already having many of the files).
If someone has made a local copy like this - with or without success - I'd be thankful for an answer.
Have a nice day, Viktor.
