Hi! I've noticed that an "rsync -avx . host:/test" tries to descend into a FUSE filesystem (on the origin/sending side). This is at least true when the FUSE is mounted by somebody else. I came accross this while my nightly backup choked on this with "Permission denied" at the mount point. FUSE is a mount subsystem in Linux that enables userspace filesystems. A FUSE

I wonder whether the functions for skewness and kurtosis in the e1071 package are based on correct formulas. The functions in the package e1071 are: # -------------------------------------------- skewness <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE) { if (na.rm) x <- x[!is.na(x)] sum((x - mean(x))^3)/(length(x) * sd(x)^3) } # -------------------------------------------- and #

Hi! I read the source around find_fuzzy(), but got stuck in get_dirlist(). I thought the latter returns the subset of the current ?global? file list of the receiver side (which is complete, or an incremental part(?)), reduced to the ?same directory? restriction. Can someone enlighten me, where the ?global file list? is stored? Is that actually used for fuzzy-match? If not, why not? When is

Trying to select a subset of cases (rows of data) I encountered several problems: Firstly, because I did not read the help to read.spss() thoroughly enough, I treated the data read as a data frame. For example, dr2000 <- read.spss('myfile.sav') d <- subset(dr2000,RBINZ99 > 0) and thus received an error message (Object "RBINZ99" not found), because dr2000 is not a

The following (occuring on debian/testing with kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 version 2.6.8-13 and iproute version 20041019-3) confuses me: # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio # tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: proto ip pref 1 handle 1 fw classid 1:2 # tc filter ls dev eth0 filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 1 fw filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 1 fw handle 0x1 classid 1:2 # tc filter del dev

Using ranef() (package nlme, version 3.1-75) with an 'lme' object I can obtain random effects for intercept and slope of a certain level (say: 1) - this corresponds to (say level 1) "residuals" in MLWin. Maybe I'm mistaken here, but the results are identical. However, if I try to get the standardized random effects adding the paramter "standard=T" to the

I'm sorry, but my previous message, as often happens, some brackets were wrong: Here are the correct formulas: sd = 1/n * sum((x-mean(x))^2) # (1) sd = 1/(n-1) * sum((x-mean(x))^2) # (2) This also occured in the last paragraph.

...I'm unable to nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 hilbert. I get a "name query failed to find name hilbert" So I assume something's wrong with broadcasting. I've skimmed through some newsgroup articles but I can't find a solution. So, maybe one of you may help me? TIA, Matthias Siemering

Hello everybody! With a HTB qdisc: # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 99: htb How can I change the "final qdisc" of the default walk-throught class? # tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 99:0 handle 88: sfq results in: "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" CBQ automatically creates a xx:0 root class where I can attach final qdiscs... - If there is a root class in htb, how is it

Hello everybody! Out of curiosity: What (backup) solutions do you use to let rsync store device files and ownership permissions without root privileges? I found out about "fakeroot" so far. Is there actually a practical use for the "--super" option? I didn't find anything as fakeroot doesn't need it... Additionally it would be a nice idea to refer to

I receive R-help messages in digest form that makes it difficult to answer a post. I noticed that my answer is not added to the thread (instead, a new thread is started) although I use the same subject line (starting with "Re: ") as the original post. Is there a solution (I prefer the digest to separate messages for several reasons and don't want to change my email reader)? The

After loading the package "Matrix" (version 0.995-12), using the summary function with an lme (package nlme version 3.1-75) object results in an error message saying Fehler in dim(x) : kein Slot des Namens "Dim" f?r dieses Objekt der Klasse "correlation" (translated: 'Error in dim(x) : no slot of the name "Dim" for this object of class

Although I tried to find an answer in the manuals and archives, I cannot solve this (please excuse that my English and/or R programming skills are not good enough to state my problem more clearly): I want to write a function with an indeterminate (not pre-defined) number of arguments and think that I should use the "..." construct and the match.call() function. The goal is to write

Hi! Does --fuzzy also look for files in dirs mentioned with --...-dest? My special intrest lies in --link-dest, though. Thanks, Robert

Hello everyone, Image you rsynced your mp3 archive. Later you do some cleanup renaming and start splitting up the directory into a hierarchy and do some file move around. Data-wise you did nothing, meta-data-wise you did a lot. --fuzzy comes into mind for the next rsync. Unfortunately fuzzy matching does not include other (sub-)directories and cares a little too much about modification times for
