Within the rsync source (at least from debian, didn't look at upstram), I found a perl script which supposedly can tell mountpoints apart from their parent file systems by parsing /proc/mounts. I haven't retraced its steps in detail yet, but it looks promising. This probably could and should be adopted to python... @Andrew What do you think of this? Is it worth fixing? If you consider this a bug, that is. (I surely hope so..) Regards, Daniel
