Does rsync work over an NFS mount? --Karl _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I am trying to rsync a file of 10gb between an NT host running Cygwin 4.10 and a Solaris 8 host running rsync 2.5.1 but am having problems with what appears to be a 2gb file limit - the truncation point occurs at 2096111616 bytes. The target filesystem definately supports files over 2GB. Any ideas how to overcome this limitation? Regards, Craig Donnelly Andel Consulting 10 Fenchurch Avenue

What is the default block size? I have a few files 30+mb and data is just added to the end of them. It seems like it takes longer to sync them that it was to send it initially. Should I change the block size or something else? I am running: rsync -z -e ssh *.* user@linuxbox:data/ I need to use ssh because I am going over the internet and sending "company data". -------------- next

FYI, We've been using the 2.4.7pre1 release for several days now, with nary a hang problem. We haven't seen the EOF bug at all, which was what we upgraded for. This is with transfers of as much as 50GB to set up an initial mirror. The only thing we did was set timeout=0 -- which I guess is unnecessary. The semantics of this flag are a bit unclear. We thought was 'time since

I am having trouble with rsync when I am trying to synchronize a Windows NT volume mounted with smb_fs (FreeBSD) and a unix volume which is also exported with Samba. There are instances where the DOS short name on the NT volume ends up as upper case and then doesn't match filenames which are used in the unix volumes which have been exported by Samba. I don't know if this is a Samba

...700 (bytes?). Would a larger block size reduce memory usage, since there will be fewer (but larger) blocks of data, and therefore fewer checksums to store? You suggested setting ARENA_SIZE to 0... I guess this would be done like this? % ARENA_SIZE=0 ./configure Doug David Bolen [mailto:db3l@fitlinxx.com] writes: > Granzow, Doug (NCI) [granzowd@mail.nih.gov] writes: > > > Hmm...

Hello, Recently while working with rsync as the way to mirror large (several GB) archive on a regular basis, I came across several problems, and also got the ideas about their possible solutions - please could you investigate & consider implementing the features, described below, to future RSYNC releases ? - when the checksumming (consider very large archive, several GB) stage of rsync

I recently installed rsync 2.5.5 on both my rsync server and client being used. I installed the latest version because I was having problems with rsync stalling with version 2.4.6 (I read that 2.5.5 was supposed to clear this up or at least give more appropriate errors). I am still having problems with rsync stalling even after upgrading to 2.5.5. It only stalls in the "/home" tree

...now it's actually using update time only, I should modify it to check the file size as well. Is there a way you could query your database to tell you which extents have data that has been modified within a certain timeframe? > -----Original Message----- > From: David Bolen [mailto:db3l@fitlinxx.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 2:12 PM > To: 'Keating, Tim' > Cc: rsync@samba.org > Subject: RE: Rsync: Re: patch to enable faster mirroring of large > filesyst ems > > > Keating, Tim [TKeating@origin.ea.com] writes: > > > - If there's a m...

Hi. When I discovered rsync, it immediately became one of my most indispensable utilities. It's a real godsend on bandwidth-limited links, especially digital cellular. It works remarkably well in the general case, but I think the algorithm could be improved for one very important special case. Many (or even most) of the updated files I transfer with rsync change only by stuff being appending

Hi, Does rsync lock the source files while its copying? Any input is appreciated. Thank you Dietrich

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that rsync doesn't guarantee to produce identical file copies on the the target machine? Don't get me wrong in sounding critical because I think that rsync is a great example of how software should be written. (I often make the observation, as I learn more about Linux, and inevitably find myself comparing open source applications to Microsoft
