James, I read the manual about --available-as option ("Importing Trees" heading). I think it will be good to readers if following "Example 6" is also included/considered. What is your opinion?
Example6: Â cobbler import --path=/path/where/filer/is/mounted --name=anyname --available-as=http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/where/mounted/
Thank you, Ravi

Hi, I am using cobbler-2.4.0-1.el6. I could import "CentOS v6 u3 64bit" as shown below without using "--rsync-flags" with "cobbler import" command. From /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log during import time, 'rsync -a' requires more time and as a result more "importing" time. I don't want any updates/continuous updates about "CentOS v6 u3" and also don't want any regular/continuous "sync".
I also need few examples about using "--rsync-flags=RSYNC_FLAGS" with "cobbler import" commnad. Kindly do the needful.
Please read the manual in regards to the --available-as option:
http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/2.4.0/4/2/4_-_Import.html
The rsync flags are pretty self-explanatory: they are just extra arguments that are passed to the rsync command. The options "-a --progress" are always passed into the rsync command, so please see the man page for rsync to see what other options are available.
