Hi all, I have asked this question on both the rsync mailing list and serverfault.com but got no response from either.
I would be grateful, if this isn't too off-topic, if anyone could explain the following: man rsync for -H includes: "If you specify a --link-dest directory that contains hard links, the linking of the destination files against the --link-dest files can cause some paths in the destination to become linked together due to the --link-dest associations." How and/or why does this happen? What sort of scenario might lead to it? Thanks Gareth
