This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. How is it possible to reproduce the bug? I have tried these commands: cd /tmp mkdir s/ t/ touch s/lala ln s/lala s/hard rsync --rsh=ssh -avz -H --dry-run s/ localhost:/tmp/t/ I have also tried with more hardlinks pointing to the same file and transferring in the opposite direction (from the server) and with none/some/all of the files present in the target directory. The output usually looks like this: $ rsync --rsh=ssh -avH --dry-run s/ localhost:/tmp/t/ sending incremental file list ./ lala hard => lala sent 70 bytes received 30 bytes 200.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN) My version is (I guess the architecture is not important here): rsync-3.0.6-5.el6_0.1.x86_64 I use the same machine as a server and as a client, but connecting through ssh. I have tried the commands and some of the mentioned scenarios from the comment #3 on the same architecture as the reporter has, but without any success (no errors). Version: rsync-3.0.6-5.el6_0.1.ppc64 This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. As this bug has been in NEEDINFO for an extended period of time we are going to close this bug due to inactivity. If you would like to pursue this matter feel free to reopen this bug and attach the needed information. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects. However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
