If, in a hierarchy which has been previously rsync()ed, I replace a non-empty directory with a symbolic link the rsync will fail.
It does work if the original directory was empty. It also works if I specify --delete (presumably since that deletes first, so we end up with an empty directory). But using --delete on a job by default isn't a good idea! Is there some way to get symlinks to replace non-empty directories without using --delete? -- Gordon Lack Application Environmentalist -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
