The old batch code only works with a local destination, so this isn't a new limitation. In fact, I think the old code fails in the same way as the new, so this complaint should really just be a suggestion that the code handle this better -- perhaps with a more direct complaint rather than trying to write a file named "localhost:/path/bar" and failing. However, it might be possible to change the way that the code is handling the batch-read mode so that it could push a batch to a remote host. One way to do this is to drop the fd shuffle and instead keep around a sender program that would enter a special loop where it did nothing but dump data coming in from the generator while pushing batch data down the socket/pipe to the receiver (this is quite a bit more complicated than the current code, though, so feel free to leave this out). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
