I'm trying to rsync files to a set of symlinked directories on an XServe running OS X.
The directories look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/2/2006$ l total 80 lrwxr-xr-x 1 tna tna 39 Feb 24 13:18 2006-01 -> /Volumes/CSArchiveArray001/2006/2006-01 lrwxr-xr-x 1 tna tna 39 Feb 24 13:18 2006-02 -> /Volumes/CSArchiveArray001/2006/2006-02 When I run rsync from Linux in --dry-run mode, the results are correct: $ rsync -arvn --ignore-existing --exclude-from=/db/nosyncc /db/2006/ -e ssh x:~/2/2006/ building file list ... done 2006-08/2006-08-12/2006-08-12_0430_KNBC_Channel_4_News.txt 2006-08/2006-08-12/2006-08-12_0430_KTTV_A_Current_Affair.txt 2006-08/2006-08-17/2006-08-17_0500_KABC_Eyewitness_News.txt 2006-08/2006-08-17/2006-08-17_0500_KTTV_Morning_News_at_5.txt 2006-08/2006-08-17/2006-08-17_0600_KTTV_Morning_News_at_6.txt 2006-10/2006-10-29/2006-10-29_0800_KTTV-FOX_News_Sunday_with_Chris_Wallace.txt sent 313109 bytes received 40 bytes 208766.00 bytes/sec total size is 445239817 speedup is 1421.81 When I do the actual run, the symlinks are overwritten and new directories are created; details below. Can I prevent this behavior and tell rsync to respect the symlinks, as it does in --dry-run mode?
