I wondered if it was something like that. But then take this example:
# ls -ltarid ../daily.{9,8}/jenny*/var/log/dnf5.log
102762323 -rw-r--r--. 2 root root 855313 Jan 13 06:25
../daily.9/jenny/var/log/dnf5.log
102762323 -rw-r--r--. 2 root root 855313 Jan 13 06:25
../daily.8/jenny/var/log/dnf5.log
109585223 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 976409 Jan 14 06:25
../daily.8/jenny.interrupted/var/log/dnf5.log
# rsync -naiiSPAHX --link-dest=/.snapshots/daily.9/jenny/
--link-dest=/.snapshots/daily.8/jenny.interrupted/ jenny.interrupted/ jenny/
sending incremental file list
…
hf var/log/dnf5.log
Should there be more flags there indicating that
daily.8/jenny/var/log/dnf5.log is going to be replaced with a link to
daily.8/jenny.interrupted/var/log/dnf5.log instead of having it linked
to daily.9/jenny/var/log/dnf5.log? If that is what is indeed going to
happen.
If daily.8/jenny/var/log/dnf5.log is going to be replaced with a link
to daily.8/jenny.interrupted/var/log/dnf5.log it seems really difficult
to determine that that's what's going to happen when the same output is
used to convey also that nothing is going to happen as per the previous
example.
Cheers,
b.
