Re[2]: --link-dest --inplace updates files without unlinking. What to do?

[Askar Safin]

No. Now there is no --inplace. So, rsync will never write new file directly into old one (without unlinking). If there already is old file and it needs updating, then rsync will write into something like .file-He4gw, and then it will rename this file to its right name. This new file will not have any hardlinks to old files
