Hi All, I have been getting reports from users of backuplist+, my wrapper application for rsync (currently with build of 3.0.6), about odd behavior after updating to OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. Basically: the problem occurs backing up a directory to a local mounted network volume. Previously all wor

With rsync 3.0.7 I have exactly the same problem. I am using rSync to sync my Userdirectory to another Mac in a home network. I am not 100% sure, but the problem occurred after the latest update of the MacOS (Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573)) of the Source. My macmini (the Dest of rSync) is also runnin

Hi Eric et al, It seems this is not an rsync problem though I am not sure The same thing happens with the Apple supplied rsync as with 3.0.7 (someone emailed me about the same problem using the old apple supplied rsync) and I wonder if other file transfer options might have similar results

Hi Matt, I set up a simple test with a nest of directories ( aa > bb > cc > dd &ee) with 1 file in each. running rsync from OS 10.6 to another Mac with OS10.5 there seems to be no problem. When doing the reverse I am seeing the odd behavior. Below is the log from running the options -aHAXN --f

It's the Easter miracle! :P Sorry about joking in a serious list, hope you won't get angry. Although I don't have suggestions about the problem, I'm following the thread because I'm potentially concerned about rsync on Mac bugs. Cheers! Vitorio Le 6 avr. 10 à 00:09, Robert DuToit a écrit

Matt, I forgot to mention, If I add an exclude for .DS_Store* it doesn't generate the odd .DS_Store files. However, if I copy directories with other types of hidden files like .bash_history then it generates odd versions of those too. So I added an exclude for every hidden (dot prefix) file
