I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but...

...r this situation: Two Samba4 DC's - and I want to "mirror" the data shares to the "backup" DC in case we lose the primary DC and it's file shares. [A cheap, dirty, poor-mans semi-CTDB. How did you ever guess that Red Green was helping me?!] The easiest way is probably rsync'ing the data. However, will that include all the ACL's and extra data associated with the files. I understand that to a disk on part of the DC, it might not. But on the second DC, all the relevant users, AD group etc do all exist. So, is using rsync in such a situation reasonable/workable...

I'm using rsync to copy some large (>1GB) oracle datafiles. I've noticed that sometimes it transfers some of the files twice. Some earlier posts to this list that I saw in the archives seemed to indicate that this is a problem with the rsync algorithm itself when dealing with large files. Some of the mails...

I am running latest rsync version 2.6.8 on both ends. The receiver is a daemon.

I was rsync'ing data from one system to another, and the recipient suddenly started throwing DRDY errors. Now, it's a fairly new WD Red 3TB, and I'd think it was just a bad drive... but I'm really confused by this, from the logs: Jun 15 15:34:43 <servername> kernel: ata3: SError: { Dispar...

Hi, I was able to rsync files from Windows 2000 to Solaris 8 but when I opened the text files with vi on solaris, a '^M' char was appended to each line of the files. My question is how to get rid of that '^M' when rsync'ing ? I suspect this is because Windows and Unix treat line feed/carriage return di...

We have a rsync'ed copy of the centos distro. We want to point our local machines at that, what is our next step? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us...

[I accidently sent this to Martin instead of the list...] I wonder if it would be useful to have a partner program that would index the rsync'ed file system (like Tripwire). If the index file exists (or meets other defined criteria), rsync is allowed to assume that it's current and can download or do queries against the remote database. I would guess that most targets of huge rsync's "expect" the rsync, so that pr...

Hi Everybody, I'm new to this list, but I have been using rsync for quite some time. First, congratulations to the rsync team for a very fine piece of software! I'm wondering whether rsync could help me to perform the following task: I have 5 million files on one side of the ocean, 100000 of which must be copied to the other side. Both numbers grow with t...

We have an interesting quandry here. When I'm rsync'ing my directory tree (100 directories each containing 1000 files) I see some strange results: All of these machines are on their own network segment (100t) in our QA lab Solaris->Solaris - time taken: 11m32s Solaris->RH Linux 7.2 - time taken: 206s RH Linux->Rn Linux - time taken 1m...

Hi. rsync 3.0.8 FreeBSD RELENG_4 i386. rsync -Haxi --delete /.../ /.../ The first pathspec above (residing on zz, a full filesystem) is: /vvvv/wwww/xxxx/zz/ The second pathspec above (residing on yyy, an empty filesystem) is: /vvvv/wwww/xxxx/yyy/zz/ It's obviously a 'copy everything over' oper...

Hi all, In my case I see this happen when rsync'ing sysvol from one samba DC to a different one on the target DC when the target DC is on Debian Bookworm with both samba 4.17.<many> and 4.18.8 . It looks like a different behaviour of rsync that I never saw on Bullseye or before, with many different samba versions over the years. I'...

...since it is a brand-name and I didn't want to make it unstable, so I decided to make the backups of the windows server (using Backup Exec) on the linux box. So backup exec writes on the linux box via samba, directly on the USB drive. (I thought of writing on the linux box FS directly, then rsync'ing to the USB drive), but the space available on the local FS is about 90 gigs while the external USB drives are 250 gigs, meaning that I can keep like 4 weeks of data on the USB drives (using backup exec settings), while I could only keep 1 or 2 weeks otherwise. My questions is: -how can...

I've tried moving my Thunderbird profile from one C7 box, a standard PC to another C7 box, a DELL server. I did this by rsync'ing ~/.thunderbird. However, on the new box, Thunderbird only starts if I run it -safe-mode.? If I don't run it in safe mode I see the window flash up and instantly close.? No errors or notifications appear in the terminal window., Anyone got suggestions on what could be wrong, or how...

When rsync'ing to a module with rsync -a I have a file appear with the proper owner, but not the proper group set. Below is the module, is it functionally possible to hard set the group like the user while still using the -a flag with rsync. max connections = 25 timeout = 600 secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.s...

--exclude-from and --cvs-exclude currently do not accept exclude files that use CR/LF (DOS-style) line breaks. It basically behaves as if the files are empty. This is rather annoying if the exclude files are generated by Windows systems (e.g. if you're using --cvs-exclude and rsync'ing the contents of a Samba share that includes .cvsignore files). Attached is a simple 1-line patch (for 2.5.2) which "fixes" this; it strips off any CR character at the end of the line. Could it be committed?

Hello I'm having a heck of a time rsync'ing (is that the proper conjugation? :)) between two Cygwin machines. I have three directory trees that are "exposed" via rsynch. Two of the three have a very shallow structure, and they work fine. The third, however, has a fairly deep structure and many more files than the other t...
