it would be nice to have rsync to be intelligent enough to recognize a name change but not an inode change on the source.
Seems to me the best way to accomplish this is to be sure that the parent directory is not a directory that someone can rename... ie, when I rsync our home directories, there is no danger of anyone ever renaming the 'home' directory...
So, just put the top level directories that *can* be renamed by the users into a parent directory that they can *not* rename, and use that for the root for your rsync...
Or maybe I'm missing something? -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
