Created attachment 10762 [details] rsync.yo patch for: rsync --one-file-system --delete-excluded --exclude=/bar/ host:/bar/ /foo where /bar is a mounted filesystem, document that ignoring a sender's "other" filesystem does not affect the operation of --delete-excluded at the matching receiver's patch (/foo/bar). I ran into this under a pile of scripts where the backups first backed up /foo, then /foo/bar, then /foo/baz, and the underlying volume's CoW snapshots were quickly gaining size because /foo was listed in the excludes (first deleted, then re-populated). The current documentation isn't wrong - just being explicit would help eliminate this as a gotcha.
argh - messed up the reduced example. Should be host:/ rsync --one-file-system --delete-excluded --exclude=/bar/ host:/ /foo
