Unless /mnt/goo exists then it will create /mnt/goo/foo as an exact replica
of /mnt/foo
Use $ rsync -av --delete /mnt/foo/ /mnt/goo
To copy the contents whether the dest exists or not (this has bitten me
before).
From the man page:
rsync -avz foo:src/bar/ /data/tmp
A trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to avoid
creating an additional directory level at the
destination. You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning
"copy the contents of this directory" as
opposed to "copy the directory by name", but in both cases the
attributes of the containing directory are
transferred to the containing directory on the destination. In
other words, each of the following commands
copies the files in the same way, including their setting of the
attributes of /dest/foo:
