After hearing so many good things about mdbox, I am testing it. I moved my Maildir to a test box, and did the conversion with dsync which reported no errors and appeared to go fine after I set: namespace { separator = / inbox = yes } and changed mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox But the problem is that the Inbox now is empty in my imap client. What did I do wrong? I can see the emails are there

Hi everybody, I want to share a feature request I wrote here some time ago. I'd like to give rsync more than 1 source-tree, where the "sum" (as described below) is rsync'd to the destination. suppose I have some machines, which have almost the same configuration, different only in small details. Then I want to rsync all machines from a master, with the details as specific to

Hi, I am backing up about 500G of data from a linux-based NAS to a USB hard drive attached to a router (rt-n16 with tomatousb firmware). Both NAS and the router have rsync-3.0.9. The router is running rsync in the daemon mode. To test the set up, I rsync'd the files to the empty USB hard drive, then back to the NAS in a new temp dir. Afterwards, I did a local "diff -r" on the NAS.

Hello. Recently, I started using rsync to backup files in my root partition on an Ensim box over to a remote machine. The remote machine 'pulls' from the Ensim box using the following: rsync -arvzx --exclude=/proc --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/mnt --delete --delete-excluded -e ssh 192.168.0.1:/ /bkup/rootpart/ The problem is, if I 'df' the Ensim box, it reports that the entire

Hello, I just rsync'd my 1TB partitions formated with jfs filesystem containing ~720GB data. I saw -3G difference between source and destination which made me suspect possible dataloss. Also I had experienced loss of integrity on my previous copies but I did not find the cause until now. As command line I used following: sh-3.2# rsync --verbose --sparse --append-verify --fuzzy --progress

I've settled on using "rsync -avHAX ..." and that seems to keep everything preserved. P.

Hi, I have files rsync'd from an old samba server. When I try to run testparam I see the following notice. Samba is running on the new server. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" NOTE: Service homes is flagged unavailable. Processing section "[transfer]" NOTE: Service transfer is flagged

I have a customer using OS/X that creates thousands of PDFs per month using a tool called iPDF ART5. The server is Centos 5.x with samba-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5. Every PDF he creates also creates a hidden file with similar name. These files get rsync'd onto my server and my tape robot attempts to save them to tape but generates file not found errors. ._Skin Care : Cannot stat: No such file or

To whom it may concern, Would appreciate it if anyone knows how we might easily exclude NFS mount points within a file system from being rsync'd? Regards, Craig Donnelly Andel Consulting 10 Fenchurch Avenue London EC3M 5BN Tel: 0207 6655055 Fax: 0207 6655060

What does rsync do with permissions? Using rsync -auvP ./* targetMachine:/targetDir I sometimes get an error/warning such as: chown GENERO/uk/reinsure/prod/rel/dbmodify.4gl : Operation not permitted The source file has owner/group stevet:dev and the target stevet:users The files are being rsync'd as user 'fyl' - fyl belongs to both dev and users group. The 'oddity' is

I have a site with a working Samba4 AD domain with a single DC. It works. I've added three new DCs to the domain [using the SerNet packages for 4.0.21]. The intention is to then demote the old, original Samba4 DC. But problems exist for netlogon/sysvol. One of the new DCs - the second one added - works, clients can access netlogon & sysvol. However the other two DCs have ACL errors

Hopefully someone can explain/help me with the dovecot.index.cache file. I am wanting to move a dovecot server (v1.0b7) onto a new box running the same version (1.0b7) of dovecot. To do this I rsync'd the maildir files to the new server but when I logged into the new machine through IMAP dovecot reported: IMAP(username): file index-mail.c: line 105 (index_mail_get_fixed_field): assertion

I'm aware of, at least generally, how one would have done a BDC/Redundant server under OpenLDAP Samba3. However, rolling your own multi-domain-controller was fairly daunting [for me] under Samba3 / OpenLDAP. I've been very interested in Samba4 for the more integrated nature of having LDAP/DNS/Samba all under one roof. [i.e. Fewer places where I can screw it up horribly.] However I'm

I installed the RHEL 7 beta here to test while waiting for CentOS 7 to arrive. On noticing that yum didn't work, I decided to set up a local mirror. I rsync'd ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/os/Packages/ to a local web server here, then regenerated the repodata directory with createrepo. Now yum works fine, for the most part. "yum search foo" pulls

Greetings, We recently moved our Samba PDC from one linux-based samba server to another. I copied samba's settings (rsync'd /etc/samba/*) exactly, and the new PDC has the same IP address, host name and overall config. (same version of samba, same kernel, etc) Since moving the PDC, Windows XP workstations no longer recognize the smb.conf defined "admin users" as domain

G'day, I'm in the process of fixing a long broken rsync backup on a couple of servers. The old system rsync'd a Linux (CentOS 5) server onto a Opensolaris/OpenIndiana server but didn't worry about ownership or permissions, across an expensive WAN link. All the ownerships and permissions are different to the original box on the OI box. I now have a virtual CentOS 5 box that I

I have two DOS filesystems mounted on Linux as "vfat" which I want to rsync. (They are on flash cards, so that they are also small). rsync gets tricked because the filesystem treats names differing in only case as the same. Thus, when it tries to sync "FOO123" with "foO123", it copies over the "new" file, and then renames it over the old one (which it

Good Afternoon, I have been tasked with migrating a machine sitting on RHEL 5.6 off a rackspace cloud server to a local machine. In order to cut costs we would like to utilize Centos 5.6. I have done quite a bit of research and have as of yet been able to find a clear answer on how to accomplish this. I have installed Centos 5.6 locally and am in a time crunch to complete this. I am hoping that
