Add something like this to the exclude-list: |
| 4 |
/dev/* |
| 5 |
/var/run/* |
| 6 |
... |
| 7 |
That'll copy the dir itself, but not its contents. |

I don't fully understand here. You have a '-a' (even a redundant '-l') |
| 12 |
in the argument list - symlinks should be created on the target |
| 13 |
location. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
By the way, your sync cmd seems a bit odd: |
| 16 |
-l is redundant if -a is specified |
| 17 |
-C used while syncing a whole / might exclude some needed stuff |
| 18 |
-H is what you usually want while syncing a whole / |
| 19 |
--exclude items without any '/' might be dangerous (I suppose you meant |
| 20 |
to exclude /var/run, /sys, /tmp, /boot etc. and not every file named |
| 21 |
'run', 'sys', 'tmp' or 'boot' in the entire filesystem. Your current |
| 22 |
cmd might 'exclude', for |
| 23 |
instance, /usr/include/sys, /etc/runlevels/boot, /usr/src/linux*/arch/*/boot |
| 24 |
and most likely more. Just a note for the case this isn't what you |
| 25 |
actually want.) |
