Hi! I am running rsync 2.6.4 (on Debian sarge) and I am experiencing a strange behaviour.
I am trying to create an identical filetree on the same filesystems with the single files being hardlinks to the source like this: rsync -vaH --progress --delete --stats --numeric-ids -x --link-dest=/path/to/filetree/ /path/to/filetree/ /path/to/current/ /path/to is one filesystem. This creates hardlinks for the files in /path/to/filetree/ in /path/to/current/ When calling rsync with relative paths like this: cd /path/to; rsync -vaH --progress --delete --stats --numeric-ids -x --link-dest=./filetree/ ./filetree/ ./current/ rsync does not create hardlinks but copies the files instead. Is this intentional behaviour?
