Hi, I am thinking about a non-standard usage of rsync (at least not mentioned in the man file) I want to synchronized my collegues home directories(trees) each night AND store rsync's internal updating commands (reversed) to be able to restore the state of a directory the day before. This would require - saving the internal updating commands in a separate directory - reversing these commands

Is there a good place to get information about the list of all possible output and error messages rsync generates? Or should I just muck around the source code (which I haven't looked at yet) and find them? I am doing something where I would like to parse rsync's output using Perl into a set of data structures. I already have something that works under normal conditions. Eventually

...g to do. In general, I would say that since the contents of the batch mode depend on the status of both client and server, there is not a "natural" location for it. -- Alberto ******************************************************************** Alberto Accomazzi aaccomazzi(at)cfa harvard edu NASA Astrophysics Data System ads.harvard.edu Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics www.cfa.harvard.edu 60 Garden St, MS 31, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA ********************************************************************

Hello! As I was found rsync do not detect file renaming. If I just copy my backup.0.tgz (many Mbytes in size having it's md5) to backup.1.tgz (which will be equial in size and md5) it will be the same file in fact... Rsync will delete old file (backup.0.tgz) on the receiving side and download new one (backup.1.tgz). I do not think there are any difficulties to detect this situation and

I've just started using rsync, and it's way cool. I checked the FAQ, the broken mailing list archive search function, and scanned the archives, but didn't see this mentioned. I presume it's a fairly common need: I'm mirroring files automatically and daily from one site to another, and anticipate the day when the size of the files may exceed the size of the destination disk.

There is a new patch named "delete-during.diff" in the CVS "patches" dir. This patch adds the ability for rsync to incrementally delete files in each directory during the normal course of the transfer rather than doing a separate delete scan either before or after the transfer. The patch renames the current --delete option into --delete-before and makes --delete behave in the

I have downloaded and built rsync 2.6.0 on our HP ProLiant DL380-G3 servers (2 Hyperthread processors, 4 GB RAM, 840 GB Hard Disk, etc. etc.) running Red Hat 8 with the latest errata kernel (2.4.20-28smp) and updates from HP for RH8. rsync is run in daemon mode from xinetd. When doing transfers the machine requesting the transfer starts to run out of memory. After every rsync transfer there

At the moment, if you start an rsyncd that's not running as root using default settings it will have some trouble. rsyncd tries to use chroot by default, but this will always fail if it's not started by root. It does emit an error message in this case, but I wonder if some people find this a bit confusing until they discover the setting. I have in the past. It might be better that if

Hi Everybody, I'm new to this list, but I have been using rsync for quite some time. First, congratulations to the rsync team for a very fine piece of software! I'm wondering whether rsync could help me to perform the following task: I have 5 million files on one side of the ocean, 100000 of which must be copied to the other side. Both numbers grow with time, and occasionally, some

Rsync list: Alberto and I have done a couple more exchanges by private email, and we found that he wasn't turning on my include/exclude optimization in his test because he had an "exclude" directive in rsyncd.conf. He has now removed that and run the test again. His very interesting results are below with my comments. Note that his case is rather pathological because he's got

Just ran into this bug when running the latest snapshot from CVS: when rsyncing from two source directories into a third one, rsync gets confused about which source file is from which directory, resulting in a "file vanished" error. See test script below. Also, is there any consensus on whether using multiple source modules when pulling from an rsync daemon is going to be ok? I

I just noticed that there is an extra blank line in the output generated by rsync when the --dry-run (-n) flag is used. This seems to have started with 2.6.0. Is this desired? The reason why I'm asking is because I use scripts that parse the output from rsync and little modifications in verbosity can make or break things easily. Thanks, -- Alberto [ads@localhost bin]$ rsync-2.5.7
