First, the background. Redhat made some whacky changes to thier directory structure AFTER I had successfully mirrored the old structure. Second, I use rsync. So, I looked at where RH moved the directories and did the following: # cd /path/to/old # tar -cf - . | (cd /path/to/new; tar -xf -) This is just a fancy "mv" command that is much faster. Anyways when I ran rsync, it thinks /path/to/new is "different" and proceeded to leech everything from RH's main mirror. Bandwidth burn! So, # cd /path/to/ # mv old /path/to/new < crunch crunch > Rsync again. Same thing. Any ideas? I really don't want to suck down the whole thing again. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
