--- Comment #1 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> --- I have been discussing this in IRC for more than an hour now. The OP's complaint is not that multiple --link-dest paths aren't searched. The OP's complaint is that rsync finds an apparent match in an early --link-dest path and it does not notice a more precise (metadata) match in a subsequent --link-dest path. The result is rsync making a new file to record a change in xattr even though both file+xattr already exist in the declared link-dests. -- 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.
