Hello, Can someone tell me what the problem is here. I am doing an rsync on a sendmail spool directory to a folder that is a samba mount. Why is rsync trying to change owner? Does it have to? I tried manually changing owner (as root) on a file that is sitting on the samba mount and I got the same operation not permitted error. Does anybody know why this is? Or do I need to ask in a samba

Hello - I just installed Fedora Core 2 the other day and have been trying to mount a share to some XP shares (domain members) without any luck. If I use the following line it works fine: mount -t smbfs -o username="mkipness",password=xxxx,domain=domain //10.0.100.74/c$ /mnt/max-laptop But if I use the the same statement substituting cifs, it doesn't: mount -t cifs -o username="mkipness",password=xxxx,domain=domain //10.0.100.74/c$ /mnt/max-laptop And I get the error: mount error 13 = Permiss...

I've been using rsync for years on linux based systems but just recently downloaded and installed rsync on an XP computer for a certain application. For the most part it works fine except for one issue pertaining to an open file. When backing up the My Documents directory, there is an Outlook .pst file as part of this directory. This is an in use pst file. If Outlook is closed, the pst file

I use Rsync to backup 53Gb worth of nsf files from a domino wintel based server, to a linux server. This works fine, however when trying to use cp ?al to make incremental copies, each copy always ends up being 53Gb in size. I?m not sure if this is because the files are in use by the domino server at the time of the backup or if there is some other reason. Has anybody else come across this or know

Hello - Can someone please clarify the meaning of these stats. This is the rsync'ing of one file remotely over a wan. Total file size: 383219712 bytes Total transferred file size: 383219712 bytes Literal data: 3143680 bytes Matched data: 380076032 bytes The total file size is definitely correct, but what I don't understand is the transfered size. Is rsync reporting that roughly 380mb

Hello - I have normally been using rsync using only a single : in the command line. What are the benefits of setting up an rsync server on the other side using double colons :: ? Is it more efficient? Here is an example of what I use. The server 'iceland' is on the other side of a WAN link. I'm not using an rsync.conf file. rsync iceland://programs/ /journyx-backup/ --progress

I know this subject has been discussed time and time again, but everytime I think I've figured it out, I get stuck again. Here is the file structure, root is /: /var /etc /otherdir1 /otherdir2 I want to rsync the following: /var/spool/mail but nothing else in /var or /var/spool/ /etc/httpd/ /etc/mail/ but nothing else in /etc Do I have to do this for example? + /var/ +/var/spool/ +

Hello, Hopefully this isn't too stupid of a question, but how do you patch rsync with the --files-from patch? Thanks, Max

After attempting to rsync the /var/spool/mail folder on a sendmail server, I got the following errors on some of the folders: chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not

I'm doing some tests on rsyncing some Sendmail spool files every 15 minutes to another Sendmail server as a backup. It seems to work well and efficiently, but I did notice that when users connect via POP the spool file updates it's time. Using log-format option, I could see that even though the file was 0 bytes, it was considered changed and transferring 40 bytes, which I assume should be

Hello, Sorry to post again. Just hoping someone could give some insight. Using the CIFS client I'm able to successfully mount shares on Windows 2003, however for a script I'm using, I need to be able to browse to determine what shares are on various Windows 2003 servers using SMBCLIENT -L. I assume this has to do with the SMB signing that is required be default on W2K3. Is there any way

Hi, I'm doing a 30 day rotational backup using rysnc. If I go to the root of the backup directory and use: du --max-depth=1 -h, it gives me the actual space being taken up by each incremental directory, the space being taken by the current directory, and then the total of all. For example: 44G /Current 1G /06-20-2004 750M /06-19-2004 Etc... Etc.. .. .. 70G Total But what I would like to

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

I've got a strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. Just installed 2.5.6 on a Redhat 8 system. Was doing a simple test from one local directory to another (in the root) with a couple of text files in the source. Using the following command line: rsync /directory1/ /directory2/ -v --recursive --stats After the first sync all files are copied properly, but then every

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under. So my include-from file looks like: + Test2/* - /* This doesn't work as nothing is synced, and if I do a -vv it tells me that nothing is being

Hope this isnt' too off topic... I have a tree structure on one server similar to the following: /Current /01-04-2003 /01-03-2003 etc... /Current holds the most recent rsynced data, and the date directories are created with cp -al on a daily basis so they are hard-linked. I'm going back 60 days. The question is how can I move this entire structure to a new server and preserve the

Hi, I'm having some strange issues when using cp in my rsync script. It seems there may be links breaking or something. Before running the actual rsync I run the following command in my script: cp -al /backup/Current /backup/$prevday Then I rsync from the source to /Current So shouldn't all my previous days have hard links back to the original /backup directory? Sometimes the

Hello, I started monitoring lan traffic with RRDTool on a linux box the other day that runs rsync, and I've found what I would consider a strange traffic pattern. This linux box rsync about 2Gb of data to a local samba share that is connected to a Windows 2003 server. Based on the literal data stat, roughly 20% is changed nightly and uploaded. However, the strange thing is that the traffic
