dump for jffs2

[Gad Hayisraeli]

is there any dump utility for jffs2 file system ?
(like e2fsdump, rdump, dump utils)

why i need it ? cause i used rsync and it RUINED my links !
every link to /bin/something has become to bin/somehting !!
(and i tried every option ijn this damn program to solve this, but nada...)

  rsync -avz foo:src/bar /data/tmp

        this would recursively transfer all files from the  direc­
        tory  src/bar  on  the  machine foo into the /data/tmp/bar
        directory on the local machine. The files are  transferred
        in  "archive"  mode,  which  ensures  that symbolic links,
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships etc are
        preserved in the transfer.
        ^^^^^^^^^

May this help you?

Possibly in conjunction with the new jffs2 code in 2.4.18 that doesn't
always report i_size of zero for symlinks? :)

i did not tried the -z option. just the other options. does it matter ?
i tried the latest version of rsync and your suggest also (except -z) , but
the same behaviour !
try it yourself, with root-style-links , and check first that the target
file does not exist at the target dir structure

(i synced /bin/busybox links. busybox does not exist in std. linux distrib.)
