rsync sends -C and -x options silently
Hello rsync developers and users, I've just updated some of our CentOS servers from 7.4 to 7.5, and rsync on these servers went from version 3.0.9 to 3.1.2. This newer rsync version appears to be sending -C and -x options to the server, even though they are not set on the client side. The client is called like this: rsync -rlptgo -qz --del --timeout=180 user@server /local/path On the server, we have a wrapper script that parses all the options that the client sends, with: options=$(getopt -l server,sender,timeout: -o vnlogDtprzde.iLsf -- $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND) Now getopt keeps emitting errors that the -C and -x options are unrecognised. Is this a recent change in rsync to set these options even if the user hasn't specified them? Regards, Anand -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

The order of a couple lines is reversed and Duh. Thanks for picking up on that. that might copy more than one file from the .mozilla/arb dir. It would copy nothing from arb, surely? I'd also suggest putting the lines into an include file so that the command-line only needs an --include-from=file_name directive. The lines would get +/- prefixes to tell it what to include/exclude: I don't think .mozilla was in rpm: + /rpm/SRPMS/ - /rpm/* + /.mozilla/ + /.mozilla/arb/ - /.mozilla/* + /.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/ - /.mozilla/arb/* + /.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/bookmarks.html + /.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/prefs.js - /.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/* This works just as I wanted it to :) Now I also understand the exclude/include logic better.

Trouble with include/exclude patterns
I'm using rsync 2.5.4 on my RedHat 7.3 client laptop and rsync 2.5.5 on my RedHat 8.0 server. On the client, I have a directory rpm with 5 subdirectories, out of which I only want to copy the one called SRPMS across. I also have another directory .mozilla out of which I want to copy across 2 files. I have constructed the following rsync invocation: rsync -e ssh -av --delete \ --exclude='/rpm/BUILD' --exclude='/rpm/SOURCES' --exclude='/rpm/SPECS' --exclude='/rpm/RPMS' \ --include='.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/bookmarks.html' \ --include='.mozilla/arb/kfgj0v2y.slt/prefs.js' \ --exclude='.mozilla' \ .mozilla \ rpm \ $SERVER:laptop-backup Now, this works correct for the rpm directory, by only copying rpm/SRPMS, and leaving out rpm/BUILD, rpm/SOURCES, /rpm/SPECS and rpm/RPMS. However, it does not copy my bookmarks.html and prefs.js files. If I add one more -v to the rsync command, I see this: excluding directory .mozilla because of pattern .mozilla So it seems the entire .mozilla directory is skipped, despite my 2 --include statements. I have read the man page over and over, and I can't see what's wrong. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? And any ideas on reducing those 4 --excludes to one --exclude and one --include for the rpm directory?
