hello,
i have tried to make a snapshot with the following command-line:
rsync -lHrtDpvP --link-dest=daten/ daten/ snap1/

but some files are copied instad of making hardlinks to the files and i don't
know why!

the link-dest-dir is the same as the source dir, so it gives no difference
between the source file and the link-dest-file!

why does rsync then copy some files and don't make hardlinks to it ???

goodby
