Hi All, I am using rsync and I see --exclude as an option. But it says --exclude pattern? So how can I do an rsync on '/' except exclude /home/nackup? I am doing: rsync -avx / /mnt/sdb2/ can I simply do: rsync -avx --exclude=/home/backup / /mnt/sdb2/ -ML

Hello everybody, I been trying to debug a problem for a month now and can use some insights and advice. This is the setup, I got two linux ha storage node providing iscsi disk, the disks is mounted on two linux kvm host and one backup server. The iscsi disk has lvm on it, the logical volume groups are visible on all servers. On the backup server I have the following running: # guestmount

Hi all, I'm having problems with an rsync via ssh process hanging during transfer. The basic problem, (gory details to follow): I've set up a machine on my LAN to act as the receiver and have two (soon to be more) remote servers transferring files via a script. It seems as if certain files are causing the transfer to hang. These are different files on each of the sending machines,

Hey, I am trying to upgrade my kickstart usb key to 6.0 and I ran into a few issues. I boot with: ? append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:sdb2:/ks.cfg repo=hd:sdb2:/centos and in the ks.cfg I have: ? harddrive --partition=sdb2 --dir=/centos and on sdb2 I have: ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso It fails from the beginning unless I add /images

Running Debian 8.2, xfce 4.10, rsync 3.1.1-3. I just edited my backup script as follows: #The first line deletes extraneous files. The second does not and is used for normal backups. # rsync -vaHz --delete --exclude '/proc' --exclude '*.iso' --exclude '/sys' --exclude '/home/holtzm/Documents/*.iso' --exclude '/media' /.

Hello, I heard recently about the detect-renamed patch for rsync. I was about to code something similar, I need it badly, but decided to give the patch a try first. It seems to work well but it's rename detection scheme seems to be limited. From my tests, it seems to detect that a file has changed name only if the file remains in the same base dir. It detects that a file has moved

Dear rsync people (particularly Wayne), I am finding that the CVS version of rsync hangs during most, but not all, local copies. The problem goes away if I pass --protocol=29, so I'm guessing it is related to the incremental file-list sending. The hanging seems to be timing-dependent. Increasing the verbosity level seems to increase the chance of a hang. If I run rsync repeatedly with the

Hi all, I'm testing OCFS2 as a cluster filesystem for a mail system based on maildir, so basically the filesystem must be able to deal with lots of directories, and lots of small files. The first "oddity", is that when I mount a newly formated ocfs2 fs, it already contains used space: [root@ocfs1 /]# df /cgp02 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

hi all! back in Aug several of you assisted me in solving a problem where one of my drives had dropped out of (or been kicked out of) the raid1 array. something vaguely similar appears to have happened just a few mins ago, upon rebooting after a small update. I received four emails like this, one for /dev/md0, one for /dev/md1, one for /dev/md125 and one for /dev/md126: Subject: DegradedArray

I am rsyncing 1tb of data each day. I am finding in my testing that actually removing the target files each day then rsyncing is faster than doing a compare of the source->target files then rsyncing over the delta blocks. This is because we have a fast link between the two boxes, and that are disk is fairly slow. I am finding that the creation of the temp file (the 'dot file') is

Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me: # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2 ... unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it. Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over

Hi all, Has anyone encountered this: On ServerA, I make this directory: /var/ftp/pub/userA with ownership root.root It gets rsynced to serverB with this command: rsync -avzgorp --delete -e ssh /var/ftp/pub/ root at serverB:/var/ftp/pub/ However, when I change the ownership of /var/ftp/pub/userA to userA.userA, this change is not rsync-ed to serverB. Is there any option to achieve this? Thank

rsync --delete option tells rsync to delete extraneous files from the receiving side (ones that aren't on the sending side).But if a user accidentally deletes a file, there is no way to restore it from the server.If --delete option is not used, and the local hard disk is destroyed, restored data will include old deleted files. Is there a way for rsync server to retain backup of deleted source

I had this working on an older version, since 2.6.9 that when I set --delete and --dry-run, I get no "Deleting ******" lines. Also, the --delete-before never worked for me. Working on a space constrained mirror, this has proven very handy, when it works. What's up with the new versions? I haven't changed a thing. Best regards, Tiago Marques
