If I perform an local rsync with the 'delete' option over an NFS mount, and the mount point has been unmounted, the rsync will delete what was once on the local box..
For example Machine 1(192.168.0.1) is a live production server with a database within the /DB directory Machine 2 (192.168.0.2) is an idling server, capturing all changes of Machine 1's database. The rsync is done over an NFS mount onto machine 1, rather than via rsync client/server >From Machine 2 : mkdir /mnt/plantx mount 192.168.0.1:/DB/plantx /mnt/plantx rsync -av --delete 127.0.0.1:/mnt/plantx/ /DB/plantx -e ssh Now , If I reboot machine 2, and forget to do the NFS mount, (actually the above rsync is in a crontab entry to happen automatically), then the /DB/plantx will be empty due to the 'delete' option of the rsync statement. I would assume this is a bug ??? (Embedded image moved to file: pic01842.jpg) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: This message may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
