filesystem. It doesn't seem to handle seeks over null regions
correctly and ends up corrupting the files.
dit(bf(-x, --one-file-system)) This tells rsync not to cross filesystem
boundaries when recursing. This is useful for transferring the
contents of only one filesystem.
dit(bf(-x, --one-file-system)) This tells rsync to avoid crossing a
filesystem boundary when recursing. This does not limit the user's ability
to specify items to copy from multiple filesystems, just rsync's recursion
through the hierarchy of each directory that the user specified, and also
the analogous recursion on the receiving side during deletion. Also keep
in mind that rsync treats a "bind" mount to the same device as being on the
same filesystem.
dit(bf(-x, --one-file-system)) This tells rsync to avoid recursing into a
directory that is the mount-point for another filesystem, including (as of
2.6.7), "bind" mount-points. You can still copy the contents of multiple
file systems if you include a source dir from each file system -- this just
limits rsync's directory-recursion algorithm.
If this option is repeated, rsync omits all mount-point directories from
the copy. Otherwise, it includes an empty directory at each mount-point it
encounters (using the attributes of the mounted directory because those of
the underlying mount-point directory are inaccessible).
Rsync will copy the directory at each encountered mount-point unless this
option is repeated. Note, however, that the attributes of this mount-point
directory are copied from those currently visible in the filesystem, not
the inaccessible attributes of the underlying directory.
This option does not affect the "collapsing" of symlinks that options such
as bf(--copy-links) perform, irrespective of what filesystem the symlink's
referent may be on.
If rsync has been told to collapse symlinks (via bf(--copy-links) or
bf(--copy-unsafe-links)), a symlink to a directory on another device is
treated as a mount point, while other referents are treated as though they
existed on the device where the symlink is found.
dit(bf(--existing, --ignore-non-existing)) This tells rsync to skip
updating files that do not exist yet on the destination. If this option is
