My reading is unless you preserve hard links, you get at least two separate files on the target for each hard linked file on the source. So if you really want a clone, either clone, or use rsync -aHAX.
I use: OPTIONS="--archive --acls --xattrs --hard-links --stats --human-readable" --archive is the same as: # -a, --archive archive mode; same as -rlptgoD (no -H) # -r, --recursive recurse into directories # -l, --links copy symlinks as symlinks # -p, --perms preserve permissions # -t, --times preserve times # -g, --group preserve group # -o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only) # -D same as --devices --specials # --devices preserve device files (super-user only) # --specials preserve special files -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
