Thread: rsync only copies empty directories


ubuntu 10.04

have nas device: usb hard drive connected linksys e4200 router/wifi/nas device.

want home directory with:

rsync -av /home/matt /home/matt/.gvfs/matt\ on\ cisco31545/

command copies on folder structure perfectly, folders empty, yet verbose output shows each individual file being copied.

thoughts?

thanks!

hi mahohmei

couple of ideas:

first, avoid syncing when destination contained the source. you'll have recursive problem. instead, mount cisco share different directory, example /media/cisco31545 or /network/cisco31545

guess share ntfs, recommend playing option --modify-window in order manage better modification times.

hope helps.
regards.
