Just did a successful rsync -- problem was with reiser filesystem. Moved all files off the raid, ran reiserfsck with --rebuild-tree (fix-fixable was not enough), ran rsync after rebuild finished -- no problems. There were a number of files that the rebuild-tree found that weren't attached

Craig, I'd like to get your patch into the 2.5.6 patches directory. Could you please make sure it applies cleanly onto version 2.5.6pre1 (see news on http://rsync.samba.org home page if you haven't been following the mailing list) and repost it? Thanks, - Dave Dykstra On Wed, Dec 11, 2002 at

This is a patch to add an --rsync-exclude option to rsync-2.5.6cvs. File names in .rsync- (or .rsync+) are excluded (or included) from the file lists associated with the current directory and all of its subdirectories. This has advantages over --cvs-exclude for backing up large file systems
