Wayne, Thanks very much for your dedicated efforts, and to say that the partial-dir patch is working like a dream.
Just a couple of questions, if I may. Will the patch be committed for the next release ? And when do you forsee that happening ? All the best.

The code was not handling the case where the destination file was missing and the partial file was present (it worked if both were present). The weirdness is caused by the fact that (unlike the --compare-dest option) rsync must not base its decision to send on the presence of the partial-dir file, but on the state of the destination file. Some earlier bug-fixes to make sure that rsync made the right decision to send created the problem where the partial-dir file might not get reused. I've checked in a fix to CVS and attached a patch to this email. Thanks for the report! ..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
