Bug ID: 13071 Summary: [PATCH] Allow --partial-dir with --inplace Product: rsync Version: 3.1.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: way...@samba.org Reporter: ben.rub...@gmail.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Created attachment 13649 --> https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=13649&action=edit Allow partial-dir with inplace Hello, Here is a patch to allow partial-dir with inplace. Why ? Quoting modified man-page : If --inplace is used with --partial-dir, or with any option implying it (--delay-update), the inplace behavior will take place in the partial directory, each file being moved to its final destination once completed. It really helps when one want to keep partial files but don't want rsync server to duplicate them remotely when transfer is restarted. Partial files will then be used "inplace", in the partial directory. Really useful in conjunction with for example --link-dest. More generally this helps saving space / dealing with short free-space targets. Could we then think about reviewing and merging this please ? Thank you very much ! Ben (this patch has been written so that current client versions can easily benefit from this using --temp-dir to indicate their partial directory, server code being really easy to modify to take tmpdir as partial_dir) -- 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.
