-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list,
I told you about trying real UFS for backup dest, backup source still being HFS+ in my filevault. I just finished running the second sync, and it was awful fast and didn't grow the df of the backup disk much. Then I double-checked using find /...bank.../2006-10-28/tree -links 1 and lo and behold - it contained the expected files, ie, the ones changed/created since yesterday. I'll keep watching for problems, but for now it looks great; I might lose some metadata, but that's still way better than anything I had so far. It BTW didn't work with the rsync from fink, but it did with the stock one in /usr/bin. My patch level is 10.4.8. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [3|[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync --version rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, inplace, IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums rsync comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Thanks for all your help and pointers, special thanks to Dave for getting me on the right track, namely understanding the HFS+ hardlink weirdness. If any of you would like to know more about my setup (although I think all that's relevant is in this message), just mail me off-list. Yours, Bernd PS: This is a little OT, but - I just might try to find out about using UFS for my startup disk; it seems to do links correctly, and POSIX semantics are *way* more important to me than real resource forks (apart from the fact that Macs can emulate resource forks with dot-files on any supported FS, IIRC). I could imagine running into problems with it, though, because of Unicode normalization (eg., cf http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-12/0373.shtml) and case-sensitivity. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFQpNujAQAqv3HuJURAjfbAJ9gXxucQWQmZKkwuTWD+xiAFnoIJQCfUsQW O4qeXyhQ8e0T7uwElbUrc7E= =MsKa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
