Bonjour,
Today, I use rsync for updating some 40 Debian/Linux box, rsync is
great.
So, now, I'll need to update a whole disk or partition (NTFS) with an
image or an other disk or part. (case multiboot system),
can'I hope rsync do this task in some day ?
I agree that it would be a cool feature.
It's unlikely that the existing codebase would be extended for it, but
something like rdiff might support it eventually.
In the meantime, just dd across ssh.
rsync algorithm would be great for this task, isn't-it ?
Not directly; the basic rsync algorithm cannot update in place. You
might adapt it to do so though.
I'don't mind how amount of works this feature need,
but some folks are interresting in ?
You don't mind how much work other people do for you? How gracious.
Or were you volunteering to write it? If so, adding in-place updates
to rdiff would be a good place to start.
