Sorry if this is a boneheaded question. I'm stairing at it and can't see what I'm doing wrong:
On machine B, I'm trying to mirror all of machine A and want to delete files that have been deleted off A since the last sync. I run: rsync -av -e ssh --one-file-system --numeric-ids --relative --delete --exclude-from=/backups/control/all.exclude '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /boot /dev/shm /sandbox ' /backups/A /backups/control/all.exclude contains only the following: /proc/* /proc/.* /dev/shm/* /dev/shm/.* /sandbox/* /sandbox/.* /tmp/* /tmp/.* - - - Rsync copies everything from A, that much is good. But it isn't deleting anything. As a test, I created on A: /test /test/tmp /test/tmp/tmp The first two are directories, the last is an empty file. I reran the sync command; the /test directory, subdirectory, and file were copied over as expected. Then I deleted /test/tmp/tmp from A. Reran the sync with the command above but, /backups/A/test/tmp/tmp was not deleted on B. It is as if the --delete parameter was not recognized. Any ideas? Thanks!!
