Bug ID: 13920
Summary: --max-delete and dirs being replaced by symlinks on
source
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core
Assignee: wa...@opencoder.net
Reporter: ulrich.sibil...@atos.net
QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org
We have a rsync setup that sync a huge tree on a daily basis. We run rsync like
this:
rsync -av <src> <dest> --exclude=.. --delete-excluded --delete --max-delete
300000
This normally works fine, but recently a user removed a directory on the src
and replaced it by a symlink. Rsync detects this, but fails to the update
because:
[...]
2019/04/30 09:06:49 [20333] cannot delete non-empty directory: affected_dir
2019/04/30 09:06:49 [20333] could not make way for new symlink: affected_dir
[...]

2019/04/30 09:14:07 [20333] rsync error: the --max-delete limit stopped
deletions (code 25) at main.c(1178) [sender=3.1.2]
I think deleting these dirs should not be counted/limited for --max-delete.
