[gentoo-user] rsync over ssh "--delete" not working

[Joseph]

How to make "--delete" work with rsync over ssh?
When I do "rsync" I want it to delete files on destination if they are
not present on source:

example:
rsync -av ssh --delete source/
joseph@10.0.0.101:/home/joseph/destination
I get:
building file list ... link_stat "/home/joseph/ssh" failed: No such file
or directory

Got it!  I was missing "e"
rsync -ave ssh --delete source/.. .. ..

By telling rsync to delete.

Yep, that's exactly what you should see.
You've told rsync to copy ssh and source to 
joseph@10.0.0.101:/home/joseph/destination
rsync has defaulted to ssh for ages now, but to force it you have to specify 
the remote shell.

I have another question related to rsync.
If I do rsync over ssh and next do it again but with directory mounted
with "samba";  it starts copying all the files, regardless if the files
has change or not

Does it has something do to with file permission on samba vs. Linux
(Unix type)?

You don't need -e or ssh, rsync uses ssh as its remote shell by default.

rsync -av --delete source/ ... would do exactly the same.

That was my impression too but when I tried it without "e" it gave the
the error:
rsync -av ssh --delete source/ joseph@10.0.0.101:/home/joseph/destination
building file list ... link_stat "/home/joseph/ssh" failed: No such file or directory

When I added "e" it deleted the file on destination, and no errors
showed up.

no, when you did it you specified that it was to copy a file called
ssh. just leave ssh out altogether.

if you want to specify the remote shell to use, specify it with -e ssh,
if you want to rely on the default, leave out -e, and leave out "ssh"
unless you really DO want to copy a file called ssh.

Thank you for explanation, works like a charm.
