Hi I am a rsync (on Mac OS X, RsyncX version with extended HFS+/-eahfs forks) beginner (I merely use it for backing up my desktop machine to a bootable external firewire volume, so that I can resume work in case of a harddrive disaster) and I got these messages: mknod "/Volumes/backup/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/var/zopectlsock" failed: Invalid argument mknod "/Volumes/backup/private/var/imap/socket/lmtp" failed: Invalid argument mknod "/Volumes/backup/private/var/run/syslog" failed: Invalid argument mknod "/Volumes/ba...

Hi all, I ran across a few threads on google regarding FreeBSD's rsync mknod problem but I didn't find any good fix. I was wondering if anyone knows more about this and a good fix. Here's an example of the output. mknod qmail/queue/lock/trigger : Invalid argument mknod qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/supervise/control : Invalid argument mknod qmail/supervise/qm...

Hi all, Currently, umask takes effect when we create device file via mknod, as bellow commands show: ><fs> mknod-b 0760 8 1 /dev/sdf ><fs> ll /dev/sdf brwxr----- 1 root root 8, 1 Apr 15 11:10 /sysroot/dev/sdf But I wonder whether it is reasonable? For mknod(1), when we use option -m mode, we set file permission bits to MODE, not a=rw - umask. Should...

Currently I only have one machine backing up to another. I am backing up to a filesystem that is mounted as nosuid. The syncing process works perfectly except it fails on files that are suid.

...cally the card is being recognised and shown by lspci BUT /proc/devices file is not updated with the new devices does anyone know why. ? Could someone tell me what/where infos are needed to get /proc/devices to be updated. The reason I require the /proc/devices infos is because I want to run a mknod command with those infos.

I have a CentOS 5 machine in which I'm trying to remove lvm. I dd'ed the file system to another partition, then dd'ed it back overwriting the lvm partition. I then modified menu.lst and fstab and replaced the paths to point to the correct device. When the system boots it's still looking for lvm. I can restore the system back to where it was with lvm, but I'm not sure what

...--------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From wayned@samba.org 2004-09-22 09:56 ------- I believe that FreeBSD may enhance their mknod() so that it can handle FIFOs and sockets. In the meantime, I suggest that the FreeBSD build package simply apply the mkfifo.diff that will come with the final 2.6.3 release: patch -d rsync-2.6.3 -p0 <patches/mkfifo.diff -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab...

When trying to move my root to a btrfs filesystem, I found a missing feature (or a bug). It's not possible to create device files. To reproduce, run this on a btrfs filesystem: mknod test c 1 1 result: mknod: `test': Operation not permitted Frank

Local end (receiving): 3.0.2, 3.0.3pre2 Remote end (sending): 2.6.9 Under 3.0.x, rsync sometimes prints an "Invalid argument" error when moving sockets to the backup directory (--backup-dir): rsync: mknod "/backup/machine/../machine-before-4/var/run/audit_events" failed: Invalid argument (22) The problem appears to be that, at least with sockets, keep_backup() is calling do_mknod() with garbage in the third parameter (dev). When I add some debug output to do_mknod(): printf("mkno...
