rsync problem with Samab share - "text file busy"
Hello, I've got a script set up to back up some of our server's (CentOS 4.3) directories to a mounted Samba drive. One of the directories contains the mail and during the file copy some open mail files are backed up. However, these files are unable to be deleted from the mounted drive giving an error "Text file busy." There's no process id so the CentOS server doesn't think it's busy - just the server with the mounted Samba drive. So we can't delete the files. So is this a bug with Samba that could be fixed? Anyway to tell rsync not to copy open files? Using rsync 2.6.9. So not sure if this is the right place to post this - pointers appreciated.
