This refers to version 3.0.0pre6 if that's relevant. I was expecting that if I specified the --copy-unsafe-links option to rsync that I'd then get no warnings about 'skipping non-regular file "bla/bla/bla"' but it doesn't seem to work like that.
It *sounds* from the man page that if I set --copy-unsafe-links then symlinks that point 'elsewhere' will copy the actual file to the destination (rather than creating a symlink) and symlinks that point somewhere 'local' (i.e. to files which are part of the copy) will be copied as symlinks. However in practice when I set --copy-unsafe-links I still get warning messages. What should I be setting to get 'remote' symlinks to copy the referred file and 'local' symlinks copied as symlinks? -- Chris Green -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
