rsync hangs when copying directories with --hard-links

2007-10-30 Thread Christian Jacobsen
Hi, I have a bunch of directories which was generated long ago by Apple's Mail.app as it walked my entire home directory on a remote server thinking that it is all part of my IMAP inbox (note, there are absolutely no files amongst any of these directories). I didn't realise I had all these

Rsync hard-links devices with different mtimes despite -t: expected?

2007-10-30 Thread Matt McCutchen
I noticed that rsync is happy to hard-link a device node from a --link-dest dir even if its mtime differs from that of the source device node and --times is given. Is this behavior expected? It seems to break the rule that a difference in preserved attributes disqualifies a hard link. To see

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It's my understanding that as of 3.0 rsync supports OS X ACLs and extended attributes, and that it should be possible to backup a tree from an OS X system that contains files and folders with ACLs and extended attributes to a Linux host filesystem

Assorted oddities with --relative

GPL version on rsync Web site

2007-10-30 Thread Matt McCutchen
Wayne, The rsync Web site at http://rsync.samba.org/ still claims that rsync is available under the GPL version 2. Now that a bunch of people are testing prereleases of rsync 3.0.0, you might want to update the site so that they don't assume they can distribute rsync 3.0.0 under the GPL v2.
