Backup a bootable partition with rsync I use rsync to create a backup of my boot partition (Mavericks).
Everything is OK (during the backup) but the backup partition does not boot (it seems to loop infinitely).

I think I used the correct arguments to rsync, included the following
options:
--hfs-compression and --protect-decmpfs

Any ideas?

(of course, I used bless to make it bootable)
Repair the permissions has allowed to solve the problem. The backup partition is now booting without any problem.
