It's not clear how you're using rsync in here. I gather you're trying to do 2 operations: - rearrange your local dir stuff to match redhat's - rsync remaining stuff from RH to your rearranged localdir right? What's the rsync command that apparently puts stuff in the wrong spot? Andy BTW, You can also use rsync to do your "fancy move". > So, I looked at where RH moved the directories and did the following: > > # cd /path/to/old > # tar -cf - . | (cd /path/to/new; tar -xf -) > > This is just a fancy "mv" command that is much faster. > > Anyways when I ran rsync, it thinks /path/to/new is "different" and proceeded > to leech everything from RH's main mirror.
