Hi Matt,
I set up a simple test with a nest of directories ( aa > bb > cc > dd &ee) with
1 file in each.
running rsync from OS 10.6 to another Mac with OS10.5 there seems to be no
problem. When doing the reverse I am seeing the odd behavior.
Below is the log from running the options
-aHAXN --f

Not a bug. The --link-dest argument needs to be given relative to
To clarify:
When I said:
: rsync a/ b/a
: is supposed to do exactly the same thing as
: rsync a b
What I meant was:
This:
rm -rf a b
mkdir a b
echo foo > a/tmp
rsync -a a/ b/a
ls -lR b
which yields, for instance:
b:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 randall randall 4096 Apr 5 14:06 a
b/a:
to
I had a heckuva time getting hard link snapshot backups to work. I traced
my troubles down to what appears to be an rsync bug:
This works as expected (a hard link is made)
rm -rf a b
mkdir a b
echo foo > a/tmp
rsync -a a/ b/a.1
rsync -a --link-dest=../a.1 a/ b/a
ls -i b/*/tmp
