...et rsync only check with remote rsync daemon about local files that has last modification time newer than one day ago (so is modified since yesterday backup). This can greatly reduce the WAN traffic. Is this doable with current rsync? Thanks! -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory...

...[2] Cannot access memory at address 0x0 ~~~~this is where file become NULL pointer when i is 2. (gdb) p dir_cnt $11 = 1 Any idea about what is going on here?

...way to get a list of these files so we can retry it later time? For example, we scan the whole file system and N files are not transferred. Instead of scan the whole file system later again, we can use files-from which is much faster. Thanks. -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory...

I have great luck running rsync from one linux system to another, or from a windows system (with cwRsync) to a linux system. But when I try to do an rsync backup from one directory on a Windows system to another, it fails. The cwRsync says its version is 2.6.9. Here's my Rsync command, boiled down to its simplest: rsync -rlptgD -vvv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=2

...and then generate a file list. (2) < file get deleted> (3) run rsync with --files-from with the old list. then send_file_list()->link_stat() will return errno 2 on some files and then set exit code to 23. but shall rsync return 24? -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory...

...n that when it scan the file system tree and accumulate to N number of files, it process these files before scanning further. This might break the operation on files with multiple hard links or detecting rename. But we are ok on this. Thanks! -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory...

Hi all! I'd like to use rsync to keep aligned physical volumes between linux servers. I know that there are other tools but I really need to use rsync. I would like to do something as rsync /dev/VG/SourceLogicalVolume root@dest_server:/dev/VG/DestinationLogicalVolume Do you think could it be possible? Thanks Marco

...socket is left at rsync client side. i know rsync set KEEPALIVE, but on my RHEL4 box, rsync still loop in the function after 3 hours.... maybe KEEPALIVE in OS is broken. but can rsync have an application level heatbeat to detect such failure? -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory...

Hi, It seems that rsync transfers files whose names was changed or which were moved to another directory since the previous synchronization. I think that ability not to transfer (large) files which are present on another computer would be very helpful. Right before rsync is going to transfer some large file it could check if there some other files with the same size ( and maybe the same mtime

Hello guys! I'm doing a middle scale backup job using ccollect [0], which uses rsyn, with about 50 servers, each about 1-10 GiB changes per day and have some problems, that servers do not finish their backup completly: [host1.backup] Read from remote host host1.backup: Connection reset by peer [host1.backup] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (41306592 bytes received so far) [receiver]

Hi All. On Mac OS10.4, using rsync 3.0, it stops during a transfer. I mount an SMB share, and then use the line: sudo rsync -avhi --delete --stats --timeout=360 --progress --log-file=/Volumes/backup/20080429/rsynclog.txt --exclude="*:*" /Volumes/RAID_One /Volumes/backup/20080429 There's a few terabytes of data, and it never finishes a complete run. It can stop at anywhere during

I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre7, the latest pre-release version of the upcoming 3.0.0 release. This release contains fixed exclude checks for a "use chroot = no" daemon that has excludes listed in the config file. This is a partial fix for the 2nd advisory that was released recently. See the rsync security web page for the updated details and a patch for 2.6.9:

...ly or read until EOF, or somewhere in between? For example, if a list is generated slowly but continuously and keep feeding to rsync, will rsync wait a very long time before ever handling the first file? Is this behavior controllable? Thanks!
