Hi, I'm trying to get the --fuzzy option to work with --compare-dest with rsync 3.1.0.
I'm testing with two files. "C_VOL-b001-i3818.spi" and "C_VOL-b001-i3816.spi" are copies of one another, but I've modified the latter a bit with a hex editor as a test. The modified date is still the same. This works for me (fuzzy is utilized against the 3816 test file): rsync --fuzzy --fuzzy -vv C_VOL-b001-i3818.spi rsync://user@localhost /SHARENAME/dest Contents of SHARENAME/dest: C_VOL-b001-i3816.spi This does not work: rsync --fuzzy --fuzzy -vv --copy-dest=../alt C_VOL-b001-i3818.spi rsync://user@localhost/SHARENAME/dest Contents of SHARENAME/dest: <empty> Contents of SHARENAME/alt: C_VOL-b001-i3816.spi I do get complaints that: "file has vanished"[...]"[..]alt/C_VOL-b001-i3816.spi" (in SHARENAME)" ...so it does appear to be seeing the contents of the "alt" folder. Fuzzy isn't being run against it, however. I'd appreciate any insight on this. PS: I posted another thread having to do with issues with the --debug=FUZZY flag, but I think that's a separate issue so I'm posting this separately for clarity. Thanks Graham
