...ing another locally connected hard disk. Thing copy, but sometimes the group is eith numeric (valid). Often the owner is not even shown. This is the command I use for rsync: rsync-2.4.6/rsync -arxlHpogDt /usr/ /backup/usr/ --delete I login as root. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ian Kettleborough ian@idk.com

I am trying to exclude a few directories from being copied to a 2nd local hard disk. I have read the doc's, used the --exclude-from= to specify the filename.. but What confuses me is whether a directory listed in this file should have a trailing / on it or is the file completely different fro what I think it is. ie: /usr/src or /usr/src/ Thanks Ian

I was planning to use rsync to backup to a second drive, but I ran out of swap space. No problem, I will let rsync do it a few directories at a time overnight when the computer usually sits idle except for incomming email. I have 2 question: 1. How much memory does each file to be copied need. Obvisiouly I have too many files. 2. Why does this command work: rsync -ax /usr/xx /backup/usr/

Does rsync-2.5.5 (and ealier versions) seems to have a problem with an open socket? I finally figured out which socket to exclude. Now I get an mknod error message the first time I run rsync and the second time it runs to completion. I did know of a netstat (I think) that would show the open sockets, but I have to admit I forget.. Anyway..any ideas? Running Freebsd 4.4. Thanks Ian

I have been trying to just copy one directory from one hard disk to another
