[OT] copy symbolic links as real file during syncing files.

[王 鹏辉]

Hello list,

Recently, i am using rsync to sync two directories which located in two
different hosts.

There is something unclearly to me. I digged in the web for a while, but
there aren't useful things for me.

Here is my puzzle:

I want to sync one big directory from one host to a remote host. And there
are several symbolic links which linked to some files and directories that
outside the certain directory. I want to copy the symbolic links as real
file or directory.

For example:

The host A:

-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 aa
-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 ab
-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 ac
lrwxrwxrwx 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 6 2006-11-13 09:14 ad -> /tmp/b

After the syncing,

The host B should looks like:


-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 aa
-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 ab
-rw-r--r-- 1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 0 2006-11-13 09:14 ac
drwxr-xr-x  1 wangpenghui wangpenghui 6 2006-11-13 09:14 ad

The directory ad should be the real folder of the old /tmp/b

I have tried some parameters of the command rsync. But no result too.

Every response will be appreciated.

Wang,
