Re: delete option?
Hi, thanks. Now it works. Of course you are right: Synching worked without -r als long as I specified the files explicitly. It would really help if the documentation would be updated and point out that --delete works only with the -r option. As I can see there are a lot of people out there who have problems with that option. Again thanks.

Does your exclude file list the files you deleted from the sender? If so, the receiver won't delete its copies because exclude rules also prevent deletion; you might want to use --delete-excluded. If not, I recommend running rsync in double-verbose mode (-vv) to get more information about why the receiver isn't deleting the files.

Re: --delete option does not always work
Hi, Wayne Davison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, I had a free moment to work up a fix, and here it is. It was pretty simple. I'm sorry to wake this up again, but it seems not to be so simple to fix at all :) I've stumbled over this while noticing that the rsnapshot backup of my root-filesystem simply never gets anything removed at all. So I made some tests: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync --version | head -1 rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --relative / /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete / /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 264 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cd / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --relative . /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 264 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --relative /. /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 0 As you can see, the only workaround that seems to work is cd / and using . then. However, this is not always possible, i.e. when rsyncing some.host:/ Of course, it would be simple to just avoid the --relative in this special case. But this is also not always possible, i.e. when using rsnapshot (:)) or - more serious - when rsyncing multiple sources at once like rsync -HSaxvn --delete --relative / /home /target Perhaps, a possible solution could be to temporarily disable --relative in the rsync code directly as long as it works on a / Though, I'm not absolutely sure about the side-effects of this (i.e. with include/exclude lists). I'm using Debians rsync 2.6.8-2 which should have Waynes patch included.
