rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected.
Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to backup using ypmatch (see example below). Because the directories are explicitly included in the 'include list', I would expect them to get automounted, and picked up by rsync. I am using 2.5.6 with --include-from=see.example.below --verbose --verbose --archive --delete --delete-excluded /home/ /destination $ cat see example.below + /cvonk/ + /cvonk/* + /cvonk/**/ + /cvonk/**/* + /kernel/ + /kernel/* + /kernel/**/ + /kernel/**/* + /cvsroot/ + /cvsroot/* + /cvsroot/**/ + /cvsroot/**/* - */ The double --verbose options, does not even mention the /home directories that are not already mounted. suggestions?, thanks, /coert __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
