[NTLUG:Discuss] rsync and non-regular files

[Ed Leach]

When I run rsync to copy a local directory to another machine it is
skipping some of what it calls "non-regular files" that are directories.
When I copied one of these directories and ran rsync again, rsync copied
the new directory with no problem.

Does this indicate some problem with my local file system? There is no
other evidence of problems. I'm running Ubuntu with a default (ext3)
install.

It does fsck regularly after some number of reboots. (I think it's 30 -
again the default.) Where is this setting in the system if I wanted to
change it?

Thanks,

Ed
