Problem: If there is a hardlink to a symlink on master and if the symlink file is deleted on master, geo-rep fails to sync the hardlink. Typical Usecase: It's easily hit with rsnapshot use case where it uses hardlinks. Example Reproducer: Setup geo-replication between master and slave volume and in master mount point, do the following. 1. mkdir /tmp/symlinkbug 2. ln -f -s /does/not/exist /tmp/symlinkbug/a_symlink 3. rsync -a /tmp/symlinkbug ./ 4. cp -al symlinkbug symlinkbug.0 5. ln -f -s /does/not/exist2 /tmp/symlinkbug/a_symlink 6. rsync -a /tmp/symlinkbug ./ 7. cp -al symlinkbug symlinkbug.1 Cause: If the source was not present while syncing hardlink, it was always packing the blob as regular file. Fix: If the source was not present while syncing hardlink, pack the blob based on the mode.
