--- Comment #5 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> 2011-09-14 16:28:05 UTC --- Oops, I read what I thought you were saying instead of what you were. That behavior is documented in the man page: This option works best when copying into an empty destination hierarchy, as rsync treats existing files as definitive (so it never looks in the link-dest dirs when a destination file already exists), and as malleable (so it might change the attributes of a destination file, which affects all the hard-linked versions). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
