------- Comment #1 from theo.b...@greenpeak.com 2010-03-11 03:14 CST ------- I have a similar problem. The content of some directories will not get hard linked but copied instead. The command I use is: rsync -a \ --link-dest first_dir \ --link-dest second_dir \ /export/home/ \ --exclude '.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache' \ --exclude '.mozilla/firefox/*/urlclassifier3.sqlite' \ --exclude '.Trash/' \ target_machine:/some/backup/dir/ The directory that I found to be copied instead of linked has this full path name: /home/pave/rood/atp/Conversion Patterns - atp/ This directory also contains two spaces and a dash (-). Could this be a coincident? rsync --version rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
