I've tried running the rsync command from the log file. It doesn't
produce errors, but even turning up verbose doesn't return anything useful.
[backuppc@sinope ~]$ /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync -vvv --server --sender
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system --ignore-times . /
FILE_STRUCT_LEN=16, EXTRA_LEN=4
Is all I get regardless of how long I let it run(including the
unprintable character). If I check filesystem usage periodically, it
doesn't change, so it doesn't seem to be backing up anything.
