Summary: rsync tries to --copy-dest in --dry-run mode Product: rsync Version: 3.0.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] With --copy-dest, rsync tries to copy basis files with unchanged data into the destination even in --dry-run mode; fortunately, the attempt is blocked by do_open. Rsync should itemize the local copy without trying to actually perform it. To reproduce this bug: mkdir src dest basis echo foo >src/file echo foo >basis/file rsync -r -ni --checksum --copy-dest=../basis/ src/ dest/ Result: rsync: open "/path/to/dest/file": Success (0) >f+++++++++ file rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1053) [sender=3.0.0pre4] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
