Does it matter what order the options/switches are placed? I ask
because I did an initial rsync of data from a NetApp to a SAN box using
the following:
rsync -avz --exclude=.snapshot /mail-data/ /mnt
The .snapshot directory is only useful to Ontap in this instance so I
did not want it transfered. It seemd to work correctly and all was
fine. Until I tried to run an update using the following:
rsync -avz --exclude=.snapshot --delete /mail-data/ /mnt
This transfered the .snapshot directory and filled the partition. Is
the above incorrect? Should it be like this:
rsync --exclude=.snapshot --delete -avz /mail-data/ /mnt
Also, do I need the 'z' if I have a gigabit network? I think it would
put more strain on the filer than necessary and actually slow transfer
time.
Thanks.
