Summary: rsync fails to log files "sent" with options: --itemize- changes -n --log-file Product: rsync Version: 3.0.2 Platform: PPC OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find a discrepancy between screen output and log file output when running rsync (version 3.0.2 via macports on MacOsX-10.4 PPC) in dry-run mode. I find no discrepancy when I omit the "-n" option. The screen listing seems correct with/without "-n", as well as files copied. /opt/local/bin/rsync -n -i --stats -aES -x --exclude-from ${EXCL_FILE} --log-file=${LOG_FILE} / /Volumes/${BACKUP_DISK} Missing from the LOG_FILE copy are all the files that would have been sent (prefixed with ">"). Below are 6 consecutive lines from screen output of above command - only the last line appears in ${LOG_FILE}: >f+++++++++ .hotfiles.btree >f..t...... .Spotlight-V100/.journalHistoryLog >f..t...... .Spotlight-V100/.store.db >f..t...... .Spotlight-V100/ContentIndex.db >f..t...... .Spotlight-V100/store.db .d..t...... Library/Caches/ This combination of options is important to me while debugging a script to backup my system. I next plan to use the MacOsX "bless" command on the backup filesystem to make it bootable. Note that the latest MacOsX-10.5 supplies version 2.6.9 (2006) of rsync, which is unsuitable for Mac "resource forks" in incremental mode and lacks bug fixes and useful features.
