Hi RSYNCers!
I have a situation where I need to rsync a source tree with links
pointing to directories outside the tree, some of these links pointing to
non existing directories.
I need the existing referenced directories outside the tree to be
rsynced too, although it's enough to have a copy of them under the source
tree, so --copy-unsafe-links does the trick.
The problem arises when I use the --delete option, which I need too.
When rsync finds the links pointing to non existing directories, some errors
appear:
readlink <some_directory>: No such file or directory
Then, as pointed out in the documentation, the --delete option aborts:
IO error encountered - skipping file deletion
Is there any workaround that makes possible the --delete option to
work under this situation?
Thanks in advance.
JESS
