test I have not a prayer of reproducing this problem. Please reopen with an explicit test case if you wish me to fix. |
When rdist v6.1.0 can't read a local subdirectory due to an I/O error, it emits a LOCAL ERROR message about the I/O error, but then proceeds to delete the subdirectory and its contents from the remote! Sort of defeats the purpose of using rdist to keep duplicates somewhere in case of a disk failure, eh? It should leave the remote subdirectory alone if it can't read the local. I have a log that I can provide if you need the 'proof', but I didn't think it would paste well into this form. :) I checked the errata pages for RedHat 4.2-5.2 and didn't see anything for rdist, so I assume this will apply to all releases.
