Hi there,
I'm using this version of rsync: localhost:~ mzehetle$ /usr/local/bin/rsync --version rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others HFS+ filesystem support for OSX (C)2004 Kevin A. Boyd <http://rsync.samba.org/>
Basically incremental backup (--link-dest option) works with a destination on my local volume but not with a destination on a firewire volume. I have no idea why.
The only difference between the scripts is the destination and --link-dest path.
If both paths are on the local harddisk, it works properly, if the path is on a firewire disk it doesn't.
Here are the scripts and the terminal results:
The script that works (destination path on local harddisk):
#rotating backup script - v1.0
rm -rf "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.2"
mv -f "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.1" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.2"
mv -f "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.0" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.1"
time /usr/local/bin/rsync -vv --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --stats --progress --eahfs --showtogo --link-dest="/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.1/" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Almaas" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.0/"
The script that shows different behavior (destination path on a mounted firewire harddisk):
#rotating backup script - v1.0
rm -rf "/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.2"
mv -f "/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.1" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Backup Almaas Test/Backup Test.2"
mv -f "/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.0" "/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.1"
time /usr/local/bin/rsync -vv --rsh="ssh -l root" --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --stats --progress --eahfs --showtogo --link-dest="/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.1/" "/Users/mzehetle/Dokumente/Mischa Leben/1 Arbeit/Almaas" "/Volumes/mac backup/backup/Test/Backup Test.0/"
