Hello List,
- occasionally rsync causes oS 13.1 to freeze , necessitating turn off power to reboot.
- the rsync instruction, leading to freeze is :
................
rsync -avr --delete --delete-after --exclude=/ /home/ /mnt
.............................
Did anyone experience similar event?
'-a' = "archive mode" & is already recursive (your 'r' is redundant)
'--delete' and '--delete-after' are two forms of the same command. Use one, or the other, but not both.
'--exclude= needs single quotes around the items to exclude and you want to use multiple directives instead of combining them into one, e.g. (mind the line wrap!):
'rsync -av --delete-after --exclude='/' --exclude='/home/' \ --exclude='/mnt/' {source} {target}
Carl, I believe the OP intended '/home/' to be the {source} and '/mnt' to be the {target}, i.e. he wants to copy the contents of /home into /mnt.
Don't forget to explicitly include or exclude the trailing slash on {source} ... it is very important ... see 'man rsync'
hth & regards,
Carl
