...al and partial-dir was no solution to resync because rsync cut the original file (e.g. from 20 GB to 15 GB) which means that i have to transfer the whole rest of 5 GB. so i had a look at --inplace which I thougt could do the trick, but inplace is updating the timestamp and if the script start a retransfer after a broken pipe it fails because the --inplace file is newer than the original file of the sender. using ignore-times could be a solution but slow down the whole process to much. is there a option to tell rsync not to change the time of a --inplace transfered file, or maybe preserve the m...

I have the samba with AC DC running... that was fun...not. Debian Wheezy with backport, # samba --version Version 4.1.7-Debian and I am using BTRFS for the file systems. My issue. I have about 400gig of files that were shared with a samba the old way, security = user I was hoping I could just change the ownership recursively to be something standard, like root:sambashares and put it in the

...here files or folders are moved or renamed. The principle is simple : often people rename a file, or move it from one folder to another. Current behaviour (please correct me if I am wrong) is for wget to see this as a 'delete' and an 'add'. The 'add' results in a complete retransfer of the file. This could be optimized. For example, if I move local file 'huge_file' to 'old/huge_file', a complete retransfer happens to the remote end of the 'new' file. My proposed implementation is that out the outset, during generation of file lists of local and rem...

...nc. I was just wondering if there is any way to: 1) have rsync "understand" that file names might have changed, maybe by comparing files through their md5 signature instead of by their name, that way rsync would see that /backup/syslog.198.gz is the same as /var/log/syslog.197.gz and not retransfer it, 2) create hard-links to identical files in --backup-dir=/backup/incremental-2002-11-27 when is detects that /server/sylog.138.gz is the actually the same as /backup/current/syslog.137.gz, Thanks in advance for your insight, -- PHEDRE: Elle s'en est punie, et fuyant mon courroux,...

hi, while all files is owned by nsd user and nsd run as nsd the nsd.db is still owned by root user (because the compiler run as root and create this file as root, ok i know just it'd be better if this file is owned by nsd too). another strange thing is that on the slave nsd i've got such messages: ----------------------------------------- zonec: reading zone "lfarkas.org".

Mark, The patch seems to cause problems if there are any transfer interruptions (as mentioned in the comments in the patch). However, even on a retransfer, the earlier partially transferred file is not fixed, although the client appears to think the transfer has completed successfully. This appears to be a serious bug. Note: Both client and server have the inplace patch, and on Linux platforms WS 3. Raj

Hi, My situation is that I would like to use rsync to copy very large files within my network/systems. Specifically, these files are in the order of 10-100GB. Needless to say, I would like to be able to restart a transfer if it only partially succeeded, but NOT repeat the work already done. Currently, I am initiating the transfer with this command: rsync --partial --progress theFile

...wrote 255 bytes read 70395 bytes 4037.14 bytes/sec total size is 100819275 speedup is 1427.02 End Time: Thu Jan 18 17:08:50 SGT 2007 As you can see that the second time transfer is much longer than the first time transfer, although there's only difference at end of the file. So i feel rsync retransfer the whole file if there's difference. The version of rsync I am using is 2.6.2 The command I used is /usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose --recursive --perms --links --owner --group --compress --times --stats --delete --no-whole-file --progress --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.pass /test/rsyncTest/hu...

...ptimization scheme is rendered useless, such as rsync's. What is a best practice for this, if any? My backup software that I'm currently using, I'm on Windows, does encryption but since it has the key, it can create differentials/incrementals so the whole image does not need to be retransferred. If it works, but that's another story. Still, differentials and incrementals are all fine (grandfather, father, son) but updating the/a main full image file itself would perhaps be much more efficient still. For some reason my host and rsync on Windows are rather slow, I get some 500...

Rsync version 2.6.7pre1 is now available for release testing. Please give it a try and send email to the regular mailing list with any questions, comments, bug reports, etc. You can read all about the latest improvements and bug-fixes in the NEWS file: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.7pre1-NEWS For the tar file itself, you'll find it here (with its signature):

Hi All, I am wondering when we do live migration, how much memory is transferred? I guess it must be one of the three below, but not sure which one: 1. The amount of memory allocated to VM 2. The memory currently used by VM (actual Mem usage in guest) 3. The memory used by the qemu process (RSS). Best Regards, Hui

...s added on the sending side and it sorts alphabetically earlier in the list than the files that are already present on the receiving side. I am delighted to report that this fix works as advertised. An rsync that used to take 3+ hours now takes only 30 minutes since it no longer unnecessarily retransfers 200+ MB worth of files just because of the (bad) luck of the alphabetic sort. Many thanks for Wayne and JW for digging into this and fixing it. Wayne - there's no mention in the NEWS file about the changes to avoid modifying the file list entries after they are built that should allow shar...

...ct that the rsync algorithm is trading CPU and disk I/O to reduce network I/O (and using an encryption algorithm on top of that only makes the CPU that much higher, so using a daemon connection is less CPU intensive). The only way to reduce this is to use the option --whole-file, which makes rsync retransfer each changed file in its entirety rather than try to use CPU to figure out the differences. The gentoo bug you cite seems to be primarily concerned with timeouts, and this is one of the things that 2.6.5 (and to a lesser extent, 2.6.4) tries to fix. You do need to set things up correctly, though...

...after completing the single file transfer? Thus one could transfer files that could be processed by the receiver and there get moved or deleted avter processing. With large directories and e.g. wireless connections rsync connection could break up and could be restarted without the possibility to retransfer files that are meanwhile deleted on the receiver. In fact, I really would need this feature, anyone has an idea for a workaround? Thanks, thoraxx [AMIGA - because life is too short for boring computers]

i have a sync that i do daily on my home directory home directory -> external drive A i recently got a bigger external drive (B) and move my backup file tree from drive A to drive B. i gave the new drive the same name as the old drive, so all of the file paths will look the same to the backup script. My daily sync usually takes 3 minutes. After moving the backup tree, the first sync took 20

Are you saying (1) you want to move the files from A to B on the destination without having to retransfer them from scratch, or (2) you merely want to compare B on the source to A on the destination, or (3) something else? For #1, you can move the files on the destination by hand and follow up with an rsync to make sure any changes made to the source after the original move take effect on the de...
