Summary: Incremental-recursive, list-only "rsync --delete" tries
to clean out working dir
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]
In an empty directory, run:
mkdir src
rsync -r --delete src/
The result:
drwx------ 48 2007/11/19 16:54:29 .
rsync: delete_file: rmdir(src) failed: Read-only file system (30)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1059)
[sender=3.0.0pre5]
Rsync should not be trying to delete in list-only mode! Thank goodness for the
check in syscall.c or I might have had some serious data loss.
The error occurs only when incremental recursion is in use. The trouble is
that the call to delete_in_dir at generator.c:2051 is not conditioned on
!list_only . To prevent more mistakes like this, it might make sense to set
dry_run to a large value in list-only mode.
