[Yes, I am reviving a thread from 27 months ago. Why? Because I gave up on the problem way back then and didn't move the vault. Now that I'm really trying to do this, it still doesn't make any sense... :) Matt CC'ed directly since he was the primary respondent and I have no idea if such an old thread would otherwise be noticed.]
So, having tried your solution 1 and solution 2 (long pause while Matt and/or others page in their state, probably by visiting something like http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg23196.html :), I can't make either one work. Here's a transcript of what happens. Clearly I'm missing something. A, B, C are hosts; 1, 2 3 are ostensibly dates; all are representations of a dirvish vault (e.g., extensively hardlinked --link-dest backups). The src tree started out with all files with "foo" in their names all hardlinked together. Ideally, the dst tree will end up likewise. If I rsync the entire tree at once, it works fine. But the real use case can't do this, because the trees are enormous and there are dozens of them. Note that each time, not every foo* in dst winds up with all the same inode as the rest. Am I just up too late?
