...es to chdir() into a device Product: rsync Version: 2.6.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org ReportedBy: philipp.marek@bmlv.gv.at QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org With the following test-script I get an error of ENOTDIR; see below for strace. It runs on an shmfs, and that may be some cause for that bug, because previously it ran on a normal ext3 partition and I didn't see this message. The script makes so...

Hi everybody! I'm using LVM and ext3 and am very satisfied with it. But now I have the following problem: I have a filesystem on a LV which is in use - files are created, modified and so on. To do a backup I'd like to create a snapshot of this volume which gets backup'd and then dropped. # lvcreate -s -L 20M -n snapshot /dev/vg/data lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be

Hi everybody, I want to share a feature request I wrote here some time ago. I'd like to give rsync more than 1 source-tree, where the "sum" (as described below) is rsync'd to the destination. suppose I have some machines, which have almost the same configuration, different only in small details. Then I want to rsync all machines from a master, with the details as specific to

Hello everybody! I'm using pxelinux to boot my kernel. I'd like to pass the DHCP values to the kernel (router, ip-address, ...) so that the kernel can use it without having to obtain a new lease. I've searched the mailing list and the net and found the DHCP option to specify other configfiles, but I couldn't find out how to make pxelinux pass the dhcp values to the kernel

Hello everybody! I'm currently looking for a patch to openssh which allows logging of the fingerprint on rsa2-based authentification. I've had a look at the FAQ, and a view at the source. As I couldn't find a patch for my wish, I'm telling what I thought. Suggestions welcome (a patch moreso :-) I've started to modify login_write() which seems the best point for this. BUT:

Hello everybody! I'd like to present a feature wish: using ssh as a substitue for su. Of course, if I have a forwarding agent (or the correct key) I can simply do a ssh -l <other_user> localhost but that's not really optimal - the environment gets lost as I'm newly logged in, agent forwarding has one more hop to traverse, the data is once more en/decrypted, ... So I propose

Hi everybody! Could you please tell me when the next release is planned? I ask this because I saw in CVS that rsync+ is merged but not released, which I'd need. If it is probable less than 2 weeks I'll wait - if it's certainly more than 3 I'll get the CVS sources and start working with them. Thanks for all answers! Regards, Phil

Hello everybody, I'd like to save/restore some partitions on my harddrive via rsync. (They happen to contain other os'es, so I can't safely mount the partitions read/write). So, I'd like to do something like rsync /dev/hda1 server::images/part_1.image -c -z -B65536 -S but: - "skipping non-regular file part_1" is misleading. Not the destination is not a file, the

Hi everybody, I have a short question. Please pardon me if it's been asked before - I searched but didn't find an answer. Is there currently or will there be (or should I post a diff) that allows (by using a configuration statement) to hide directories and files to which the user has no right to? assuming a directory drwxrwxrwx root root common drwx------ user1 group1

Hello! I have a Problem with winbind. I have installed the samba 2.2.8a in a SuSE 7.3 linux PC and when i'm type wbinfo -t there is an error: linux:/usr/local # wbinfo -t checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was (0x0) Could not check secret linux:/usr/local # when i start the winbindd with the parameter -d 1 -i then i see the error: linux:~ # winbindd -d 1 -i ?

Sorry, got it the wrong way around :-( Hello everybody! As I wrote in my mail the previous week ("BUG: 2.4.19pre1 & journal_thread & open filehandles") I followed the problem a little bit further. Here's my patch; I beg the ext3-maintainers (Stephen, Andreas, Andrew) to have a look at it and submit it to Marcelo and Linux for inclusion. (2.4 is for now for me more

Hi everybody, I had a problem which you may be interested in. I set data=writeback in /etc/fstab for each of my ext3 partitions (because it complains on "mount -o remount,data=writeback" with "ext3: journal mode can't be altered on remount" or similar) and rebooted. Problem: / was mounted read-only, I couldn't remount it (because mount appends the options from fstab,

Hello everybody, I have a problem. You may have the answer :-) I'd like to use openssh for an authentication service. But that gives me a user, whose ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file has about 15000 entries. With about 300 characters per line I'd get 4,5 MB of data. I believe that this length of file could lead to performance issues; so I'm looking for solutions. I already saw the

Hello everybody, I'm currently working to get bochs to support block devices (eg. /dev/hda) as harddisks. I downloaded the current release http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochs-1.4.tar.gz and found that size detection doesn't work. Here's a patch to get the detection working. But I got another problem: the bios won't boot if there are more than 15 heads! Is there

Hello everybody, I'm using rsync (debian 3.0.2-1) to test my pet projects for correctness; but now I've come across a bug (?) in rsync - it doesn't count transferred links, ie. "Number of files transferred:" is wrong. See: # mkdir a b # ln -s /bin/ls a/link ; touch b/link # ls -la a/* b/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 flip flip 7 15. Apr 06:53 a/link -> /bin/ls

Hi everybody! Now that RSYNC has RSYNC+ included a good usage would be to use RSYNC+ to gather update-date, then multicast that on your hosts and process it. So my question is: does anyone know of a product which does reliable multicasting? (source available would be preferred) Simple pointers are appreciated; if noone has one I'm thinking about writing one myself. Thanks for all help!

Hello everybody, reading about the speed improvements possible with (on boot) preloaded files (which should be continuous on disk) I searched for a ext3 defrag program. I found an ext2 defrag program (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/defrag-0.70.tar.gz, available in debian as defrag) which would have an optimal feature (moving files by a list) but refuses to work on ext3.

Hello everybody! As I wrote in my mail the previous week ("BUG: 2.4.19pre1 & journal_thread & open filehandles") I followed the problem a little bit further. Here's my patch; I beg the ext3-maintainers (Stephen, Andreas, Andrew) to have a look at it and submit it to Marcelo and Linux for inclusion. (2.4 is for now for me more important than 2.5).
