Note that if you try it with relative paths the link-dest will be
relative to the source not .
Thank you Kevin.
I'd forgotten that --link-dest needed a relative path. This works for me:
rsync -Haxv --stats --link-dest ../dir1 dir1/ dir2
The / on the end of the second dir1 is, of course, essential.
cheers

Hello rsync people
I thought I knew how to use rsync, but I can't work out how to use
it to do the equivalent of
cp -al dir1 dir2
where dir1 and dir2 are both local and on the same disk.
In other words I want to make dir2 a copy of dir1, with every file
hard-linked to its counterpart in dir1.
Why not just use cp? Because I want to be able to do it as a user
who has sudo permission to run rsync but not cp.
cheers
Chris
