One other caveat -- the CVS version of rsync has a protocol change in it that makes it incompatible with 2.6.4 pre1/pre2 for certain options: --fuzzy, --compare-dest, --link-dest, --copy-dest, --hard-link, the combination of "--inplace --backup", or (only if a partial-file is found by the generator) --partial-dir and --delayed-updates. I recommend just updating all your pre1 or pre2 versions of 2.6.4 to the CVS version at the same time (if you have any). Another note: if you want --fuzzy to help you with compressed files that have differing contents, you should use the --rsyncable option to gzip to compress the files. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
