Summary: rsync --hard-links fails where ditto succeeds
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: Dave at Yost.com
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
Given enough hard links in a source folder and a small enough destination
volume, copying with rsync -- hard-links can fail whereas the Mac OS X ditto
program succeeds. Rsync fails by exhausting the maximum number of hard links on
the destination.
I have made a script that demonstrates this bug. It makes two minimal ram
disks, with a volume on each. On the source volume it makes a maximal set of
hard linked files that can be copied correctly to the other volume using ditto
but not using rsync.
