I tried rsync 2.6.1cvs on my FreeBSD 4.X boxes. It dumps core when preserve_hard_links and backup. And SUPPORT_HARD_LINKS is true.
rsync -avH --delete --backup --backup-dir=/some/backup/dir \ srchost::dir/ dir/ The core says... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x80536c0 in keep_backup (fname=0x808f060 "rsync.core") at backup.c:266 266 if (!kept && preserve_hard_links && file->link_u.links (gdb) where #0 0x80536c0 in keep_backup (fname=0x808f060 "rsync.core") at backup.c:266 #1 0x80537c9 in make_backup (fname=0x808f060 "rsync.core") at backup.c:297 #2 0x804c003 in delete_files (flist=0x8096100) at receiver.c:112 #3 0x805028c in do_recv (f_in=3, f_out=3, flist=0x8096100, local_name=0x0) at main.c:434 #4 0x805093c in client_run (f_in=3, f_out=3, pid=-1, argc=1, argv=0x8095004) at main.c:666 (gdb) p *file $1 = {modtime = 1076386251, length = 577536, mode = 33152, u = {rdev = 0, sum = 0x0, link = 0x0}, link_u = {idev = 0x80d1734, links = 0x80d1734}, basename = 0x80d1744 "rsync.core", dirname = 0x0, basedir = 0x0, uid = 0, gid = 0, flags = 0 '\000'} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In file backup.c. 266 if (!kept && preserve_hard_links && file->link_u.links 267 && hlink_list[file->F_HLINDEX] != file) { 268 if (verbose > 1) 269 rprintf(FINFO, "%s is a hard link\n", f_name(file)); 270 } file->link_u.links (and also file->F_HLINDEX) has some values, but no meanings because it's only an union with file->link_u.idev.
