Hello: I first use rsync on Cygwin in Windows, and make a fully old backup like this: rsync -a --force test 192.168.0.10::ttt/old/
Then in cygwin, I use "--link-dest" option to do a incremental backup: rsync -a --force --link-dest=../old/ 192.168.0.10::ttt/new/ * "new" directory contains updated files, and unchanged files are hard linked to "old" directory, rsync works greatly!! However, I use rsync in Linux, and run command just the same like above * the "test" directory is fully backuped to "new" directory, and NO links are created for unchanged files. And I tried two versions of rsync server, 3.0.4 and 2.6.9, used three versions of rsync client, 3.0.4, 2.6.9, 2.6.2, unfortunately, both 3 versions of rsync in Cygwin links unchanged files as I respected, but none of these versions of rsync in Linux links unchanged files. So, I can't understand why "link-dest" option doesn't work in Linux client? Thanks
