Hi, I'm trying to create a local mirror with the rsync mirroring script from: http://www.debian.org/mirror/anonftpsync
I've changed the script so it should use my local settings, but when I execute the script - it start to run the the server I'm mirroring from but also copying files from my /. The script looks like this: #! /bin/sh set -e TO=/home/ftp/pub/linux/distributions/debian RSYNC_HOST=sunsite.auc.dk RSYNC_DIR=ftp/pub/os/linux/debian/ EXCLUDE="--exclude *alpha.deb --exclude *m68k.deb --exclude \ *powerpc.deb --exclude bo --exclude binary-alpha/ --exclude binary-m68k --exclude binary-powerpc/ --exclude Incoming/ --exclude local/ --exclude bo-unstable/ --exclude bo-updates/ --exclude binary-arm /" LOCK="${TO}/Archive-Update-in-Progress-`hostname -f`" cd $HOME umask 002 if lockfile -! -l 43200 -r 0 "$LOCK"; then echo `hostname` is unable to start rsync, lock file exists exit 1 fi trap "rm -f $LOCK > /dev/null 2>&1" exit set +e rsync -rltvz --delete \ --exclude "Archive-Update-in-Progress-`hostname -f`" \ --exclude "project/trace/`hostname -f`" \ $EXCLUDE \ $RSYNC_HOST::$RSYNC_DIR $TO > rsync.log 2>&1 date -u > "${TO}/project/trace/`hostname -f`" savelog rsync.log > /dev/null 2>&1 Does anyone have an idea why it starts to mirror from my / ?
