Re: rsync --delete isn't deleting files

I see, you're right :) Is there anything useful that can be donated to the rsync developers? Keep up the great work. Best regards, Tiago Marques On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 11:16 PM, Matt McCutchen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 2008-08-10 at 23:04 +0100, Tiago Marque

Re: rsync --delete isn't deleting files

Thanks! It worked, --delete-excluded was all that was missing. I really think this should be the implied behavior and would like to see it as default, if there really isn't a good reason for it being this way. Best regards, Tiago Marques On Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 6:26 P

Re: rsync --delete isn't deleting files

Rsync 2.6.9 seems to think that the destination is already up to date. What do you expect it to do that it isn't doing? Update an existing file? (What are the size and mtime of that file and the corresponding source file?) Delete an extraneous file? (Note that you'll have to convert the exclude

Re: rsync --delete isn't deleting files

Hmm, looks like I'm not done with this, yet. With rsync 3.02, it works fine: rsync --exclude='/*/' --delete-before -tvlpr rsync://rsync.sabayonlinux.org/SabayonLinux/ /storage/mirrors/ But not with the 2.6.9 version :| I just get this, with the mirror completely outdated: receiving

Re: rsync --delete isn't deleting files

I was already using the -d option, it download the subdirs also. The --exclude option worked fine though, and --delete-before is now working very well. Tks to all! Best regards, Tiago Marques On Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 11:18 PM, Wayne Davison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On F

rsync --delete isn't deleting files

I had this working on an older version, since 2.6.9 that when I set --delete and --dry-run, I get no "Deleting **" lines. Also, the --delete-before never worked for me. Working on a space constrained mirror, this has proven very handy, when it works. What's up with the new versions? I haven't c
