What he meant is that, without --inplace, rsync creates an updated file and moves it into place, making the update atomic (i.e. none of the destination files are ever in a partially-updated state). When the --inplace option is used, the updates are written directly to the destination files, which can be a bad thing if someone is trying to read the file at the same time. ..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
