Hi, We re doing backups of all filesystems to a dedicated server using "rsync -x". Now, the latest CentOS versions (5.7/6.x) come with rsync-3.0.6 instead of rsync-2.x. That's nice but unfortunately it doesn't do the same as 2.x in certain situations. The problem is with the -x option, which does not delete content under a mount point anymore. It was my impression that this is a bug, but I've been told it's a feature. The problem has shown up after I have added a new mount point on a server. I've added a BZ for RedHat and also posted to the rsync list as below: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735981 https://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2011-September/026766.html Am I really the only one having problems with the new behaviour? It affects all user running "rsync -x". The problem only shows up after new mount points have been added to a subdirectory which is processed by rsync -x. That may be the reason why not many people relize it. Still, I don't see the logic behind the change which is why I take this here to hear what others think. Thanks, Simon
