      because we're not escaping the args to that final rm command! This means we gradually fill
      up /tmp, especially on machines that are infrequently rebooted (e.g. calculon)

      Logging enhancements and prepare-nondebian tweak · bd5e7e8d
      Dr Catherine Pitt authored
      Split logs for tasks with same target machine but different target filesystems into
      different logfiles for easier debugging.
      
      prepare-nondebian script creates a fake excludes file for the machine now if
      one doesn't exist, because I keep forgetting to do it myself for Redhat
      machines and then the zfs-rsync script fails.
