[ale] Struggling with rsync

[Jim Kinney]

try /opt/sw/template/proc and exclude the entire directory and not just
all contents. If it's a bind mount from /proc it gets a redirect and
I'm not sure if it's "same filesystem" or not. Nor am I sure if that
matters with rsync.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
