-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I am trying to get rsync to work on a freebsd machine that has two windows shares mounted via mount_smbfs. here is what I have: //ADMINISTRATOR@SOLID-EDGE/DWG on /solid_edge (smbfs) 3d_Model IPDS Admin Working Draft Conversions to Dwg _Pend Rel Dfts Engdwg _SE_Crash Logs Fixtures(Jigs) //ADMINO5@EMSCOR_ENG_NT/DWG on /ech_nt (smbfs) Datasht Wall Tie LSP Design Space Work Walltie Program E.C.N.-E.R.N Working Ecn-Log-Temp _Pend Rel Dwgs (2000) Eng Reports-Data _Pend Rel Dwgs (2001) EngCalcs _Pend Rel Dwgs (2002) Engdwg_ACAD _Pend Rel Ern_Ecns (2000) Engineering_Services _Pend Rel Ern_Ecns (2001) Engr_Std _Pend Rel Erns_Ecns (2002) I am trying to mirror all of these directories to a directory on the FreeBSD machine /dev/ad3s1e on /Drawings (ufs, local, soft-updates) I've read the documentation and ran the rsync and have gotten the majority of the files anddirectories over to /Drawings I am running into some problems tho. Some of the files are getting copied into themselves By this i mean i am getting /Drawings/Working/Working. Some of the directories are not even getting copied at all. It creates the directory name but the directory is empty. One directory that this is happening in is this DataSht Directory. Here is the command that I used ( I eventually will write a script to execute fro cron) tester# rsync -ravu /ech_nt/DataSht/ /Drawings/DataSht building file list ... done ./ wrote 40 bytes read 20 bytes 120.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 tester# The DataSht directory is empty. Basically all I want rsync to do is Mirrior certain directories from : //ADMINISTRATOR@SOLID-EDGE/DWG on /solid_edge (smbfs) //ADMINO5@EMSCOR_ENG_NT/DWG on /ech_nt (smbfs) to /dev/ad3s1e on /Drawings (ufs, local, soft-updates) Any changes in files on /solid-edge and /ech_nt should be copied over to the repective mirrored files on /Drawings. Thanks for anyhelp. I've been trying to get this right for the past day (and getting alot of angry users toboot) Matt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9wsXUXG7+MmNwciURAjFFAJ9Co0zuv45PWkezO3ezvnwQtIbhbACfZbwY RrZVm2D+piEBFgz9dpMUgFs=h7CW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
