Problem with hard links

[limule pika]

Hello,

I have a problem with rsync and hard links :

I have 1 folder : P, with 2 subfolders : S1 and S2

S2 contains a lot of hard links to file stored in folder S1.

       P : -S1
            -S2 (S2 files hard links to S1 files)

I would like to rsync the folder P to another computer, but each sub folder
S1 (110 Go) and S2 (10 Go + hard link to 100 Go of S1) contains thousands of
thousands of files, and when i try to rsync the folder P i have an out of
memory error.

The command used is : rsync --recursive --hard-links -e ssh --stats --delete
--links --perms --times

So i try to rsync the subfolder S1 and S2 in two rsync commands (with same
argument as above), and then the hard links between S2 and S1 are not
preserved.

Is there a solution to keep the hard links between S2 and S1 when running
two separated command ?

Thank you,
Limulezzz
