Thanks for a quick answer. I didn't study rsync deeply yet but I understand it as a copy utility that temporarily takes filesystem space and wears down a storage medium when moving files to another directory. That is not necessary (it's unwanted) in this case. The "mv --merge" you proposed might still be useful. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
