I see.
Probably a reason why it fails for me.
I've just tried the current snapshot and most (all?) of my problems
with long path names have gone away, whereas the main release was
failing at the start of the month.
Previously:
2008/03/07 20:47:05 [13024] rsync: readlink
"/AppData/Local/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/A
pplication Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Cache/Search80/08695a9e61055471bbeac6c64c29faa3.idx"
(in jabley) failed: File name too long (91)
But using the current snapshot, rsync (2.6.9) has been fine with the
long path names. There are some issues (hey, it's a snapshot!) which
I'll report separately, but I'm pretty happy!
Indeed - it works just fine if I use rsync.exe from cwRsync (and
probably from cygwin, but I didn't try).
Previously, I had rsync.exe distributed with BackupPC, and it was
failing for long names. Too old perhaps.
So once Cygwin learns how to speak UTF-8, I will finally be able to
backup all Windows files... :)
But at least I'm able to open long path names and files with problematic
ACLs, that's a major improvement.
