The --delay-updates only uses a rename. By default, it puts the files in temporary directories (named .~tmp~) under each real directory. It is possible to specifiy the partial directory with the --partial-dir but using an absolute directory can fail if it is on a different partition or the tree crosses a mount point because it can't do a rename. - Ian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
