This is a curious thing. I'm syncing two directories, containing some 250 subdirectories totalling around 11,000 files. This:
rsync --password-file=/usr/local/etc/rsync/.passwd --delete -rtv --exclude-from=/usr/local/etc/rsync/excludes /usr/local/sourcedir [EMAIL PROTECTED]::modulename ...works fine if both directories are already nearly in sync. Deleting a few files from the source causes matching deletions on the destination. But recently I made major changes to the source directory, which should have resulted in nearly everything being deleted from the destination server. However, it doesn't -- it simply starts uploading files. If I change "-rtv" to "-rtvn", rsync correctly reports a whole slew of planned deletions -- but as soon as I try to run it for real, it simply fails to do the actual deleting. If it helps at all, the source system is a NetBSD/MacPPC machine, and the destination is a FreeBSD/i386 machine. Any ideas? I searched the list archives and google, but was unable to find any similar issues. Thanks, -Bill -- William R.
