synchronizing files and symlinks between two linux os.

Question

I am facing with the bug following: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4531

rsync will always get the older symlink of the other side overwrite the newer one on the local side.

Wayne has suggested to use unison, however it is a non-developing old project that I have suspect to use.

What can you suggest me for ?

My main aim is to syncronize file, directories, links for 2 nodes.

Answer 1

unison is ok, as long as your file/folders name don't use unicode, especially cross platform. Can't hurt to give it a try.

See Here for the limitation on unicode in filename.
