Hi,
I'm running rsync 2.5.6. I use it to backup a RH 7.3 file server (samba+appletalk) to a FAT32 external HD. I get the following output:
Huh? What in the world are you doing? That description sounds very strange.
Oh, I better try and clarify, sorry. By external, I meant a removable firewire drive. So I'm using rsync between directories on the same machine, the target being the FAT32 firewire drive.
I presume the RH box is the source, what is the rsync destination box, how does samba+appletalk get involved for a FAT32.
Yep, the RH box is the source, and it is the file server. I mentioned samba+appletalk in order to try and explain the potentially odd looking file/folder names.

The above messages are garbage. Incomplete.

This makes little sense. Are you sure you ran configure? One other thing. Don't allow line-wrapping of error messages.
Ah, I'm not running an rsync server, so I haven't run configure (pardon my poor initial explanation again).
And line-wrapping, this is just from stdout/stderr from rsync, but I'll look into how to remove the line-wrapping.
What exactly constitutes the bad argument here? I'd guess the dot-folder.
What "dot-folder"? If you are talking about the garbage lines and .Icon is a folder i know it isn't mkstemp that is the problem but there is no telling what is.
Yes, I was talking about the garbage lines and the .Icon folder. I was trying to decipher the garbage lines and believed that there was something in the file/dir structure that made rsync choke.
BR,
Morten
