Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> --- Since the command-line you mentioned is completely valid, there's no error for rsync to complain about. Your args specified "--exclude --exclude" (so that it won't transfer a file named "--exclude") and then specified "/mnt" as a source or destination arg (depending on where it appears in the list of args). One thing you could possibly do to make the arg parsing stricter is to "export POSIXLY_CORRECT=1" in the environment. That makes popt stop parsing options at the first non-option it finds, so something like "--exclude --exclude /mnt --del /src/ /dest/" would at least complain about the file "--del" not existing while it was copying /mnt and /src/ to /dest (though it doesn't stop the copying from happening). -- 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.
