Hi! This problem gave me quite a headache tonight...
I more or less have this source directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ ls -laR from/ from/: total 12 drwxrwxr-x 3 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:34 . drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 Feb 8 03:34 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:18 CVS -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8 03:18 a_gallery.php -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8 03:18 doctype.inc -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8 03:18 footer.inc -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8 03:18 gallery.php -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8 03:18 index.php drwxrwxr-x 5 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:12 projects from/projects: total 24 drwxrwxr-x 5 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:12 . drwxrwxr-x 3 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:34 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 2 Feb 8 03:12 .cvsignore drwxrwxr-x 2 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:12 CVS drwxrwxr-x 2 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:35 medien_welten drwxrwxr-x 2 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:35 rodeoworlds [there is more, but I reduced it, so that I could see the effect better. All I describe here is also valid for the original dir with data in the files, etc.] The file from/projects/.cvsignore contains exactly one line, containing exactly one asterisk `*'. (Maybe I shouldn't have done this, but it works exactly they way I intended it with cvs) Now, when I do the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ rsync -Can from/ to/ (to/ still being empty at that time) the following happens: building file list ... done footer.inc gallery.php index.php wrote 154 bytes read 32 bytes 372.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 Yeah, yeah.. Doctor said "So don't do it", and i don't do it anymore, but I thought you might be interested ;) I have checked every other place or environment variable that has to do witch cvsignore, but found nothing. Also the problem instantly goes away if i explicitly name the to subdirs of projects/ and remove the *. The files that are not copied over to to/ are chosen at random, it seems, altough there are several patterns to be seen: -) all of the a_*.php files are omitted -) all but one of the *.inc files are omitted -) the .cvsignore in projects/ is omitted, but not the one in from/ Any ideas? greetings!hop -- pathological-techno-fetishist-with-social-deficit -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
