Huh? This should be very simple reproducible by just following the http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-April/012335.html And yes, with the current rsync/unstable it is not reproducible this way, i.e. the patch works for that :) > I had not seen confirmed that it was fixed (although I'm pretty However, unfortunately it's not fully fixed either :/ I just stumbled over it while noticing that my rsnapshot root backup never gets any file deleted... So I made some tests: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=lost+found/ / /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --numeric-ids --delete-excluded --exclude=lost+found/ / /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 264 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cd / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=lost+found/ . /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 264 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# cd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rsync -HSaxvn --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --exclude=lost+found/ /. /mnt/rsnapshot/daily.0/darkside/root | grep -c ^deleting 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# As you can see, without --relative deletion works well, with --relative it's not that simple to work around it (except the cd /, which doesn't not work in case you rsync some.host:/ :)).
