Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to synchronize data from a remote machine (ssh) to my
local one using rsync (pure scp would overwrite everything every
time). The problem is, however, that due to the size of data and
available storage, I have to distribute it over several hdd's. For
that I have a script, which moves every single file (typical size ~
4GB) to a different (randomly selected) hdd, leaving behind a
symlink to the new location which has the same name as the original
file.<br>
<br>
When, however, rsync is run again (I use -a option), it deletes
all the links and downloads the corresponding files again. I tried
-l (which is in -a, anyway, but I tried it explicitely, just for the
case), -L and -K, but still I got the same behaviour.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to make rsync follow the symlinks at the target
machine?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Yuriy<br>
