rsyncd doesn't take unix paths. You must adapt your --link-dest to
contend with however the rsycd module is defined in rsyncd.conf.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out why a script works when using SSH but not
when using the rsync protocol. When I run the following command:
rsync -aPh --link-dest=/user/snapshots/rsync_test/last
/home/user/rsync_test
root@readynas.internal:/user/snapshots/rsync_test/Jan_11_2025
it works perfectly, correctly recognizing the link-dest parameter.
However, when I try to run the same command using the rsync protocol:
$ rsync -aPh --link-dest=/user/snapshots/rsync_test/last
/home/user/rsync_test
rsync://admin@readynas.internal/snapshots/user/Jan_11_2025
Password:
sending incremental file list
--link-dest arg does not exist: /user/snapshots/rsync_test/last
I have tried several permutations of using relative/absolute paths to
the last file, but nothing seems to work. The only thing slightly
unusual is the mismatch in versions between rsync. On my client
machine I have:
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.3.0 protocol version 31
while on the ReadyNAS I have
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.9 protocol version 30
I have looked over the man page description of --link-dest here:
https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync.1#opt--link-dest, but I
don't see any mention of anything special when using the rsync
protocol.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Tony
