I have a problem similar to this bug, not sure if it is the same bug or
not, the consequences
in my case are killing off a daily snapshot mechanism.
As mentioned in the "Concern rsync failing to find attributes..." thread,
I am doing an rsync from A->B while excluding files
in a --compare-dest base dir.
The problem is on a relatively small snapshot space is tighter. It's
creating a 680MB fs, for a 550MB snapshot. Then I copy the 550MB
snapshot to the 680MB fs and run out of space because
rsync created 310 thousand empty directories on the target.
If I get rid of them, I regain about 200M of space.
I am using the --prune-empty-dirs switch, but it seems to be ignored.
Is this likely the same bug, or different?
