Why is rsync chopping the leading "/" of a symbolic link?
The command:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -vrlptgoD --delete /opt/oracle8.0.5/ root@web1::oracle_sw/
building file list ... done
./
u02 -> export/home/oracle_db/u02
./
wrote 77020 bytes read 81 bytes 5711.19 bytes/sec
total size is 468598435 speedup is 6077.72
But the local link is this:
gms1% ls -la /opt/oracle8.0.5/u02
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 26 Jun 14 13:34 /opt/oracle8.0.5/u02 ->
/export/home/oracle_db/u02
And rsync creates this on the target:
web1% ls -la /opt/oracle8.0.5/u02
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 25 Nov 10 14:33 /opt/oracle8.0.5/u02 ->
export/home/oracle_db/u02
The leading '/' has been stripped off of the path '/export/home/oracle_db/u02'
Thanks for any help
