Can anyone shed any light on what I should expect from rsync when the
--link-dest option is invoked when the destination is a remote rsync
module? i.e.
rsync --archive --delete --link-dest=../dst_1/ /src/ user at host::xyz/dst_0
I almost expected to get a whole lot of hard links in dst_1 to unchanged
files in dst_0... if I skip rsyncd on the server side (i.e. make the
target user at host:/path/to/xyz/dst_0) that is indeed what I get, so could
anyone enlighten me as to why the same isn't possible when the
destination is a remote module...
Regards,
Shaun
