I've got a system I upgraded FC2 => FC5 recently and I'm seeing some strange problems. On this box I have /etc symlinked to /bak/etc.bak so I can backup just one directory (/bak) to my backup server using rsnapshot. My problem is, in order to backup /etc from the symlink I need to use the --copy-dirlinks option in rsync. It works fine on other FC5 boxes, but not this one, here is the error I get: > /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \ > --copy-dirlinks --stats --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \ > rsnapshot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/bak \ > /archive/.testsnapshots/hourly.0/noc6/ > rsync: on remote machine: -vlkogDtprR: unknown option > rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1084) > rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] > rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) [receiver=2.6.8] yet when I run this _without_ the copy-dirlinks parameter, it doesn't give me an error (although it doesn't backup the /etc directory either. I use rsnapshot to backup several ohter FC5 boxes and don't see this error. Any thoughts what I might need to look at? -- Ceterum censeo, Carthago delenda est.
