Good morning list, this is my first question and hope really to get an answer, sorry for my bad english :-( Ok so i have a machine with ubuntu and use as data server for my graphics works. Now i am trying to backup my folder on an external HDD using "rsync" where i save all my data file (file of graphics software, image, font etc.). For this i mount HDD in local and launch command "rsync -avz source_folder destination_folder. I notice that in backup copy font file have zero kb size rather than 25-60 kb in source folder and i can't use the font from backup folder as it results zero kb. Can someone help me to solve this issue. Thanks in advance to all for reading this and spend your time. Ram
you mean, rsync "silently" creates 0kb sized files and only a special type of file shows this behaviour? try increasing rsync verbosity with "-v" , delete the 0kb files and retry. you can send the output of rsync to this list if it`s not too long if you don`t get a clue from that. mind that it may contain private information. you should also omit "-z" because it makes no sense for local transfer. you do not want compression here, because it slows things down and burns cpu for nothing. regards roland ps: i`m no native english speaker, but i think your english is quite ok.> Gesendet: Freitag, 12.

Aw: Re: Re: rsync not copy all information for font file
what is the source and destination filesystem? here is some report that rsync has some problem with HFS+ filesystems and "ressource forks": http://quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/ but as you are using ubuntu and not osx i`m curious what`s the problem, so i think we need more information here. regards roland> Gesendet: Freitag, 12.
