I am getting 'skipping non-regular file' errors when running rsync. Any ideas on why and how to fix them?
Using rsync -rpvougt .....
skipping non-regular file "rd/programs/unixODBC-2.2.11/samples/helper.o" skipping non-regular file "rd/programs/unixODBC-2.2.11/sqp/.libs/libsqplc.la" skipping non-regular file "rd/programs/wxwidgets/wxBase-2.6.2/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so" skipping non-regular file "rd/programs/wxwidgets/wxBase-2.6.2/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0"
I guess, when in doubt check the doc's. The FIRST step when you have a problem.
From TFM:
SYMBOLIC LINKS Three basic behaviors are possible when rsync encounters a symbolic link in the source directory. By default, symbolic links are not transferred at all. A message "skipping non-regular" file is emitted for any symlinks that exist. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
