Using '*' you could miss directories and files starting with a dot. > I also get "SIGUSR1 or SIGINT " error on a lot of syncs, got any idea > what's causing this? Maybe a cat walking on the keyboard? However this could be interesting too: >The bakcup-server runs on xfs and the local rsync-server runs on ext3 >if that can have anything to do with anything.... It seem's that the size of empty directory is file system dependant: $ mkdir dir-on-xfs $ mkdir dir-on-ext3 $ du -b dir-on-xfs 6 dir-on-xfs $ stat dir-on-xfs | grep Size Size: 6 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 directory $ du -b dir-on-ext3 4096 dir-on-ext3 $ stat dir-on-ext3 | grep Size Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory So, if you want to check your backup, don't rely on du but use md5sum and/or sha1sum on the files.
