I'm running potato, with rsync 2.3.2 I have a directory on an rsync server, that consists of about 1.95 gig of files.
On my local server, I am trying to mirror that rsync dir into a directory that already has existing files. i'm using rsync -avvP --delete --force rsync://server/cds/* . When I do a du -s on server, it shows 19849892 . on the local server, it is 2743164 . Hunh? Looking at the directories on the local server, it looks like --delete doesn't actually work. Why is this, and what am i doing wrong? My understanding of --delete is if there's a file on the local server, it would delete it if it's not on server. I'm sure if i blow away the directory on the local server and do the rsync that will work, but that seems a very wrong way to do it. Especially whenn the next update will be on a 56k link. :) I tried looking through the bug tracking on rsync.samba.org, but it is timing out for me currently Thanks for any help, Mike
