does rsync not preserve directory mtimes?

2011-06-26 Thread Faheem Mitha


Hi,

I'm running the following command as a local copy command.

faheem@bulldog:/mnt/data$ sudo rsync -abvz --super /data/ .

Origin directory

faheem@bulldog:/data$ ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root 4096 Jun 26 08:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Apr 13 17:09 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 owzar001 root 4096 Nov  6  2010 CTS
drwxr-xr-x  2 owzar001 owzar001 4096 Aug 27  2010 GAW

As you can see, the mtime for example of CTS is not preserved? Am I missing 
something?


Please CC me on any reply. Thanks.

From the man page:

-b, --backup

[...] Note that if you don’t specify --backup-dir, (1) the
--omit-dir-times option will be implied, [...]

Thanks for the fast explanation. I was using this flag out of force of 
habit.
