Well, the title says it all.. I tried to research on this subject, but didn't find anything conclusive to me.
Can somebody explain that error? If the file on destination isnt there, why not just copy it from source, why an error? I did a backup with rsync -aH --linkdest="/path/to/linkdir" /path/to/original /path/to/backup... basically rsyncing into an empty hierarchy. No errors here. Now, the errors come when i try to recover, after replacing the original harddrive with an older disk backup. The command is rsync -aH --delete /path/to/backup/ /path/to/original/ this is when i get this error: rsync: stat "/path/to/original/file" failed: No such file or directory (2) many files have changed since but the main hierarchy stayed the same... what is the problem? Thanks for clarifying me on that. PS: rsync is running in "local" mode where the /path/to/original is an nfs mounted filesystem. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/rsync%3A-stat-%22-path-to-dest-file%22-failed%3A-No-such-file-or-directory-%282%29-tp27637822p27637822.html Sent from the Samba - rsync mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
