That's only part of the job.  Karl mentions fixing up grub and fstab
but that post doesn't say what he did.  There's no mention of creating
mount points such as /proc, /sys, /media, and /mnt.  Hard links are
lost (but probably not fatally).

I have not yet seen any evidence of the alleged rsync bug.
