I asked a question about not link-dest not creating hardlinks and got ideas and
hints that led to the solution which is the link-dest dir must/should be
relative to the destination and/or the destination must be empty. I did both and
that works fine.
My question is what would cause rsync to copy a file that has not changed. I can
tell link-dest is working because about 8.5 GB of 40 GB were transfered. My
command:
rsync --log-file=/share/data/rsync.log -vvaxH --numeric-ids --delete \
--exclude=/home/apache/logs --link-dest=../../../201003/newharbor/home/ \
-e ssh r...@newharbor.safeport.com:/home .
In checking inodes I can find many files that did not change on the server.
E.g.:
artemis:/mnt# diff 201003/newharbor/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
201007/newharbor/home/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
artemis:/mnt# ls -il 201003/newharbor/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
146490838 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2174 70764 Oct 8 2008
201003/newharbor/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
artemis:/mnt# ls -il 201007/newharbor/home/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
151176421 -rw-r--r-- 2 root 2174 70764 Oct 8 2008
201007/newharbor/home/home/allvid/allvid.tgz
Thanks for any ideas.
