Package: rsync Version: 3.0.7-2 Severity: important Hi,
I would like to mention that rsync must be as good as `cp` to copy files. We deal here with data, could be important data sometimes. OK, how to reproduce this bug of rsync. fsck.vfat -p /dev/sdb1 OK - done mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb rsync --progress -a Documents /media/usb - then you can see that rsync DOES copy the files wiht a nice progression. - you wait and see... until it finished. OK- done. cmd performed. ls Documents and nothing !! only empty directories created wow good job ! During the rsync operation, it did effectively copy the files onto the media. but at the end, it removes everything. Please fix it as soon as possible. It can be acceptable for data reliability / and can cause serious data losses. Thanks for the bug fix Yours Sincerely, -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii base-files 6.0squeeze2 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libacl1 2.2.49-4 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpopt0 1.16-1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip rsync recommends no packages.
