Hello, I have compiled v3.0.4 of rsync per http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html. Unfortunately, I can't get rsync v3.0.4 to work properly. If I execute this command on the target Mac, I receive this error. sudo rsync -An --progress --log-file=docs_transfer server.domain.com:/Volumes/File_Storage/docs /Volumes/File_Storage rsync: on remote machine: -vnpAe....

I'm trying to use rsync to back up a Mac OS X machine to a Linux server. I've used the instructions at http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html to patch and install rsync 3.0.2 to support HFS+ attributes and forks on the client. I was assuming the Linux box needed the same version, and so tried compiling the patched rsync but got the following: syscall.c: In function `get_create_time': syscall.c:406: storage size of `at...

I compiled 3.0.6pre1, including the crtimes and fileflags patches for use on Intel OS X 10.5.6, as described by Mr. Bombich (thanks!) here: <http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html> I want to use 3.0.6 because it seems that this bug: <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5365> has been resolved (yay!). ----- [~]$ rsync --version rsync version 3.0.6pre1 protocol version 30 Copyright (C) 1996-2009 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

I have a problem with rsync on macintosh copying files that have not been updated. Despite careful reading of the archives, I can't find an explanation (or a fix), but I strongly suspect I'm just missing something that an expert will recognise instantly... Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm running a nightly backup of my photo/home video directory from a partition

I am using rsync 3.0.3 to copy a remote RAID volume on one Xserve to the local RAID volume on an other Xserve. Both Xserves are running OS X Server 10.4.11. I have compiled rsync 3.0.3 on both machines and patched it following Mike Bombich's instructions at http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html After some struggles, and with invaluable help from the list, I how have an rsync script running to completion but it generates log errors, I think for every file, and fails to copy ACLS, even though the ACL flag for Macs is set as shown in the OPTS variable in my backup script: OPTS=(...

I have a strange problem on OS X server. I start the rsync daemon manually using su rsync --daemon (or sudo rsync --daemon) and it works for a while. But eventually, when people try to connect, they get an "invalid uid" error. The uid is the once specified in the profile in rsyncd.conf . If I kill the daemon process (kill -9) then restart it, it all works again. Anyone else run

Hi, does anybody know, how a bash shell script looks, which automatically enters the ssh password? the rsync call should be: rsync -avz -e ssh /home/johndoe/data/repository billythegate@192.168.10.102:/home/johndoe/junk the call causes a password question. Is ist possible to automate that by a cron? If yes how should the script look to automatically enter the password? ThanX for an answer.

I am a developer on the LBackup project. An LBackup user recently posted a question to the mailing list asking about the following error. > "rsync: unpack_smb_acl: sys_acl_get_info(): Unknown error: 0 (0)" Link to thread : <http://www.mail-archive.com/lbackup-discussion at lists.connect.homeunix.com/msg00040.html> My understanding of this error is that when copying files via

Hi - is "rsync --version" reporting the wrong version number, or am I to stupid to properly install rsync-3-0-5 on a Mac? Here is what I did: download and extract rsync-3-0-5 (btw: why is there an extra patches folder?) in Terminal I ran: ./configure, make, sudo make install There was no error message, and the old /usr/local/bin/rsync was replaced. When I now issue "rsync
