That's garbled. I meant: With rsync --link-dest, if two different source files (not hardlinked to each other) have identical contents and are both candidates for being hardlinked from files of their respective names in the link-dest directory, and the link-dest files are hardlinks to each other, rsync may wrongly make the two destination files hardlinks to each other. Hopefully the test case script made this clear. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
