This is not the only difference between rsync-2.x and 3.x.
We are doing
rsync -azX --delete-after etc...
and it fails with rsync-3.
On the server (still running rsync-2), /var/log/secure shows the
difference (sorry for the long lines).
>From a rsync-2 client, we receive :
Sep 7 12:35:01 lasbHOME scponly[6166]: running: /usr/bin/rsync --server -lXogDtprz --delete --delete-after etc...
>From a rsync-3 client, it turns to :
Sep 7 20:35:01 lasbHOME scponly[12764]: option 'e' or a related long option is not permitted for use with /usr/bin/rsync (arg was .is)
Sep 7 20:35:01 lasbHOME scponly[12764]: requested command (/usr/bin/rsync --server -logDtpXrze.is --delete-after etc...) tried to use disallowed argument
As I don't have the time to make more trials, I simply downgraded to
rsync-2.
