Hi I have been using rsync successfully to backup files from my external drive to a cifs mounted shared drive since Ubuntu 10.04
Now with 13.04 I am getting a strage behavior with the following command
rsync -av /media/hari/MyExtDrive/ /home/MyDFSMountedCIFSDrive/DataBackup/
The "MyDFSMountedCIFSDrive" is mounted using options
sudo mount -t cifs //10.1.1.11/dfsroot/archive/ /home/MyDFSMountedCIFSDrive -o user=hari,rw,nosuid,gid=1000,uid=1000,hard
Now when I use the rsync command. The entire Directory structure is created . I have several files in sub-drectories with the "img" extension . The sub-directories are also created appropriately. But for the files in these subdirectories , I have a file that is zero bytes that starts with a "." and has a weird hex extension
Actual file
P_248509-A_060.img 36MB
Instead rsync creates (note the "." in the beginning)
.P_248509-A_060.img.CluiPK 0 bytes
Does anyone know what is going on
I can use "cp -R" and copy these files accurately. I have not seen rsync do this with my 10.04 systems. Any ideas?
