Hi, with the best swiss-army-knife-like tool for copying and syncing data, I do something like: rsync -ax --stats -x --exclude tmp --exclude .Trash-* --exclude cache2 --link-dest=/home/.shadow/dest/260901.1319.hourly . /home/.shadow /dest/260901.1427.hourly to create copies within the same FS with hard-linking to last version. This works as expected with one exception: Several files are NOT linked. (I found out, because I give files with a hard-link count of 1 a special treatment.) The files are nothing special, plain files with simple access rights, same timestamp, but happen to be zero size. Is there a reason to omit empty files from linking?
$ rsync --version rsync version 3.4.1 protocol version 32 Regards Hardy
