Hi! I am using rsync succesfully to maintain my mirrors. I have one problem, tho.
To improve speeds of my filesystems, I have created a raid 0 of 4 disks, and I place the most heavily copied disks there. The fs has subdirectories, one for each set of typically .iso files, such as Mandrakelinux or fedora. I would like to be able to just do a symlink from the original tree to the directory on the raid, but rsync deletes this symlink and the copies the .iso files again. I have asked other rsync users, and they have the same problem. What I do now, is to mount the raid directory on the mirror tree, but that is ugly, as I cannot unmount it again, unless the raid fs is idle, which seldom happens:-( Any good suggestions? Have I overlooked a subtle option in rsync that does this for me? best regards keld -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
