Bug Description

Binary package hint: testdrive

Due to the rsync parameters testdrive cache folder is not working on ntfs drives.

Changing line 286 in testdrive from:
  run_or_die("rsync -azP %s %s" % (ISO_URL, PATH_TO_ISO))
to:
  run_or_die("rsync -rlDzP %s %s" % (ISO_URL, PATH_TO_ISO))
fixes the problem.

Whether the change should be done there or should there be special handling for ntfs I have no idea.
