Here's the deal... I have a filesystem that I have populated by
rsyncing from a filer (over NFS) using the --link-dest option to create
incremental "snapshots" of the live data. This part is working fine... lots of links, much fewer blocks represented. Now it is time to migrate to
a larger filesystem and, during the rsync, the links are not being kept in the process.
- If I move the data with a regular mv command, all is well (but this large of a move is bound to fail before it completes, and some checksums would be nice.) - If I use rsync to move the data (and links) to the new filesystem... it doesn't recognize the existing files in the new filesystem as being the same as the links being copied over. - Both filesystems are local, permissions are identical - kernel 2.4.20-30.9smp - rsync version 2.5.7 protocol version 26
The command used:
/opt/rsync/bin/rsync -WHa --stats --link-dest=/big2/200310240100_t3snap/
/t3data/faculty/200310250100_t3snap/ /big2/200310250100_t3snap/
listings for source, link-dest, and dest:

any ideas on this?
