--- Comment #18 from andras.porj...@ericsson.com 2011-08-11 15:09:06 UTC --- I found something strange. (You can say it is another bug) So running rsync with a double dot arg /a/sourcedir/././dirtree/to/transfer will cause the sourcedir to be copied again and again. I found now that the permission and ownership of that sourcedir will be copied from the actual current dir (.) on the client side. (if I cd into /var/adm/log, the sourcedir will be set to adm:adm) see the log here: ------------------------------------------------------------- [sender] change_dir(/var/adm/log) send_files(0, .) .d..t.og... ./ [sender] change_dir(/a/sourcedir) send_files(3, /a/sourcedir/this) .d this/ send_files(5, /a/sourcedir/this/is) .d this/is/ send_files(7, /a/sourcedir/this/is/the) .d this/is/the/ send_files(9, /a/sourcedir/this/is/the/target) .d this/is/the/target/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- this is obviously not ok, just a hard to find bug, because usually noone starts rsync outside his own environment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
