Trying to use rsync to make sure that _dest_ is a regular file
with the same content as file _source_.
If _dest_ already exists and is a symlink, FIFO or device file,
rsync deletes it and creates a regular file in its place. Good.
If _dest_ already exists and is a directory, rsync creates
_dest_/

Is there a way to make rsync unconditionally transfer files,
i.e. create them anew even if the target already exists and is
identical to the source ?
rsync -I looks closer but still avoids transferring the files.

Is there a way to exclude (not recurse into) filesystems by type ?
E.G. skip all sshfs mounts in the source tree ?
Merry Christmas all.

Is there a way to make rsync look inside device files ? The goal
is to copy the contents of a block device to a regular file
incrementally.
Short of that, even just getting it to dump the block checksums of
the content a block device would help (if I know which blocks are
out of sync, I can fix th
I'm adding files to an existing tree via rsync -aO. Some of the
directories on the remote are owned by a different user. I have
rwx permissions on them but when rsync tries to set the
permissions for those directories, it fails and exits with a
non-zero status.
This is expected but it complicates
