by: William Unruh - Sun, 6 Nov 2022 17:14 UTC

I am trying to copy a backup on a usb hard drive. The usb partition is
ext4 as is the partition I am trying to back up

mount
/dev/nvme0n1p8 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda2 on /run/media/unruh/ab7c8370-e9d4-495f-a9fa-a18e803dd9ca type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

/dev/sda2 is a usb drive. / is an internal ssh drive.

I run
rsync -avxAHXp --link-dest ./crawler-root-aug12-2022 / ./crawler-root-nov6-2022

while on the backup directory on the usb drive (mounted in
/run/media/unruh)
But for example
crawler:0[root]>ls -l crawler-root-*-2022/dead.letter
-rw------- 2 root root 7210272 Dec 12 2021 crawler-root-aug12-2022/dead.letter
-rw------- 1 root root 7210272 Dec 12 2021 crawler-root-nov6-2022/dead.letter

shows that dead.letter was copied over, not hard linked.

diff on the two says there is no difference between the two files, so
they should have been hard linked not copied.

I have also tried with
rsync -avxAHXp --link-dest=./crawler-root-aug12-2022 / ./crawler-root-nov6-2022
but the same thing happens (no hard link)

(Note that the fact that crawler-root-aug12-2022/dead.letter has a hard
link, that is to a previous backup I made. Even if I erase all of crawler-root-nov6-2022
its hard link status remains at 2)

Can anyone offer me a clue as to what could be going wrong?

You forgot the "=". It should have been...

$ rsync -avxAHXp --link-dest=./crawler-root-aug12-2022 / \
./crawler-root-nov6-2022

Perhaps there is some difference not visible in ‘ls -l’. What is the
output of:

stat crawler-root-*-2022/dead.letter /dead.letter
sha256sum crawler-root-*-2022/dead.letter /dead.letter

Doesn't the source include the destination?

Please show the output of "ls -il crawler-root-*-2022/dead.letter" to confirm
which inode each is pointing to.

No, the pwd was /run/media/unruh/ab7c8370-e9d4-495f-a9fa-a18e803dd9ca
which is on the usb drive, not in / (see the -x in rsync)

The --link-dest= must be an absolute path, not a relative one. No idea why,
but using ./dest2 instead of /tmp/dest2 in my testing does not work.

William, did you notice that the 'rsync' command you posted ended its
first line with *2022 /* and then continued on the next line whereas
Aragon's command had *2022 / \* and then continued on the next line??

Is Aragon's extra *\* important??

I added the backslash because my newsreader wraps the lines at 72
characters, which broke up Bill's command in two lines. The backslash
therefore escapes the newline character.

My linebreak cam about because the posting software put in a linebreak
into a long line. What was actually run had no line break.

OK, I will try that. Weird. It needs to be documented in the man page.

Oops. It seems it is documented. From the man page:

If DIR is a relative path, it is relative to the destination directory. See also --compare-dest
and --copy-dest.

I guess it should have been ../dest1 or as you say, /tmp/dest1
