Thanks for the response. I'll probably avoid the exclude and just use a separate set of bind mounts of the same filesystems in a non-overlapping way. I was hoping to cleanly avoid that, but bind mounts are reasonably clean even if they do clutter /etc/mtab a bit. Since I'm doing this on Linux, this is an option. I'm not sure what my options will be on other systems if/when I need to run those. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Texas, USA | http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
