Hi everyone :)
I'm professionally and seriously working with extended filesystem
attributes (xattrs) for search/retrieval of data.
I am making a "thincopy" of large data trees, like this:
`$ cp --attributes-only --preserve=all $(SOURCE) $(TARGET)`
Is there a way to do this with rsync?
I'm asking, because I'd like to keep that thin-copy in-sync (including
xattrs).
Such a thincopy has proven immediately useful as "instant metadata
catalog" for searching and browsing arbitrary data.
Is there any equivalent of "--attributes-only" in rsync?
Grateful for any feedback,
Peter B.
