Overwriting source file leaves destination full of zeros

2006-01-30 Thread Jon Mitchell
Hi, I'm a little confused over what I'm seeing when a source file is overwritten whilst an rsync is in progress. Instead of the destination file being truncated, or an error being raised and the destination file removed, I get a file of the correct length, but mostly full of nulls where previously

--files-from and --delete mutually exclusive?

2006-01-30 Thread Kilian Krause
Hi rsync developers, I'm trying to get some fancy mirroring done with selecting files from a larger archive through the --files-from option. The only problem that I do see is that rsync will not eat the --delete option whatever I try. Thus, all the old files remain in the mirror archive instead of
