Hi,
Has anybody encountered problems where rsync does not remove empty
directories on the destination side? Or rather it complains:
rmdir(home/blah) : Directory not empty
But on inspecting the directory is empty. This has happened before,
notably when I moved a directory and then created a symlink to that
directory with the same name. I believe the directory gets removed with
another rsync.
These are the command line switches:
--archive \
--compress \
--owner \
--relative \
--delete \
--delete-excluded \
--exclude-from=/var/BACKUP/rsync/exclude \
Or, might it be something to do with the rsync version?
james@orc $ rsync --version
rsync version 2.3.2 protocol version 21

What I suspect happens is that rsync tries to remove the directory
before the files inside are removed. Is this correct?
By the by, I don't mean to be rude but there had been a lot of talk of
sticking with older versions to avoid problems. Now that there is a new
version out is it worth upgrading?
I don't have any real problems with the version I am using at the moment
(except on Solaris :-)) but questions might have more relevance if I was
using a current version, no?
Cheers James
