Hello, I'm trying to populate a directory on a server from a local directory, but I'm running into the problem that rsync doesn't find any files to transfer. I think maybe I'm missing something about how rsync works. The command I'm using is: rsync -vr --numeric-ids --dry-run / rsync.host.com::lvs_server_v1 (where rsync.host.com would be the real hostname of my rsync server) then, the rsyncd.conf file on rsync.host.com has this module entry: [lvs_server_v1] path=/path/to/dir/lvs_server_v1 The directory lvs_server_v1 on the server is empty - I'm trying to copy the contents of / on the local machine to that directory. The output the I'm getting is: [root@host src]# rsync -vr --numeric-ids --dry-run / rsync.host.com::lvs_server_v1 building file list ... [root@host src]# In the rsync logs I see that a connection was made to the server from the local host. Is there something that I'm doing wrong here? thanks for any input, Kristina ### my gpg key can be found here: http://www.klerp.net/gpgkey -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
