Hi,
I use rsync and cron to mirror the /dev/sda array.

Mounted into that array is removable media that should

not be mirrored. I'm sure someone will see why $LABEL

is not being excluded much quicker than I can.
#!/bin/bash

#mirror ~/clients, delete from destination anything

that doesn't exist at source

#do not mirror removable media; anything other than

/dev/sda

#kill with ctrl-c, --partial allows resuming of

session
#find scsi device labels

for arg in `ls /dev/sd[b-d][1-16]`

do

   echo `/sbin/dumpe2fs -h $arg |grep Filesystem\

volume\ name` > /home/studio/.bin/syncExclude

done
#use sed for character substitution

LABELS=`cat /home/studio/.bin/syncExclude |sed

's/Filesystem volume name:\ //'`
rsync --exclude=$LABELS --rsh=ssh --times --perms

--owner --verbose --progress --compress --delete

--recursive --stats --partial

--temp-dir=/media/mirror/tmp --bwlimit=0

/home/studio/clients/ /media/mirror/clients
Thanks,
Ron
