similar to: Rsync patch for default ACLs and executability

Today I went to back up my computer to an external disk with rsnapshot. I have two copies of the Linux kernel; a few files differ, but matching files are hard-linked between the two trees to save space. Since I didn't give -H to rsync, it is making a separate file on the backup disk from each hard link on the source. I had the understanding that -H used an O(n^2) algorithm to match up hard

Hey rsync people, Here's a really radical idea and a possible future direction for the rsync project to explore. It occurs to me that tar and rsync are closely related in their purposes. "tar -c (blah) | tar -x" can be used to copy files; rsync's setup with a sender process and a receiver process is strikingly similar. The only major conceptual difference is that the rsync

Rsync people, Tell me if I'm wrong, but rsync seems to have a very serious race condition that would make it risky to transfer files into a directory writable by someone you don't trust if permissions are going to be granted to other people on those files. The rsync receiver creates a half-transferred file with 600 or 700 permissions; then the receiver writes the data and finalizes the

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

Wayne, I have redone get_local_name again (patch attached), this time to enable rsync to remove a file to make way for a destination directory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements. Tell me what you think, and if you decide to commit my code,

Hi, Can someone tell me the status of ext3 acl support in rsync? I saw this post from may 2004 which seems to indicate there is a patch. http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-May/009466.html But it still appears that 2.6.6 doesn't have any acl support included. Is that true? Does anyone know where to get the latest patch for 2.6.6 if it even exists? Thanks Paul --

Rsync people, I am preparing to overhaul my Web site's build system, and I am looking for a convenient way to collect files and directories from various places on my computer and put them at various locations inside a destination directory to be posted to my Web site. So far, my script has been running rsync once for each source, but this is too slow. Is there a way to get rsync to collect

Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

I would like to propose some improvements to rsync's filters. (1) Add a notation that makes a pattern match both a file and everything under it if it happens to be a directory. One possibility: ending a path in //. "+ mydir//" would be equivalent to "+ mydir" "+ mydir/**". Just some syntactic sugar. (2) Add a third sender behavior to "hide" and

Hello ! I`m trying to find a way to use lzo compression for the data being transferred by rsync. rsync only supports gzip (or maybe ssh -c, which is also zlib), which gives cpu intensive workload - and this cannot be exchanged by a commandline param like we have with tar (--use-compress-program=....) i like to use lzo because it does much faster compression than gzip. I read the following in

Given two directories "foo" and "fooprime", can I have rsync make a file or directory "d", that contains the differences between these two directories such that I can take d and apply it to foo to get fooprime, or take fooprime and reverse-apply d to it to get foo? I'm not sure that the --backup and --backup-dir options to rsync will give me exactly what I want.

Hi all, I try to use rsync with the option --acl but it doesn`t work. send_acl : sys_acl_get_file(haservices, SMB_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Operation not supported Does my rsync-package don`t support acls or what is going wrong here? How can I ensure that my rsync version is compiled with acl support? info: rsync-2.6.2-8 (rpm from sles9) cheers Stefan

I've just released rsync 2.6.7pre3 -- the third, and (hopefully) final pre-release version of the 2.6.7 release. Please test this out and email the rsync mailing list with any questions, comments, bug reports, etc. Thanks! You can download the tar file and its signature from here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.7pre3.tar.gz

Hi, I want to backup data from my computer located at home to a server located anywhere else and accessible through the Internet at any time. Does anybody know any provider offering a storage service and an rsync server service ? Thank you very much for your answer ... Xav

All I am having a problem with rsyncing 2 directories in my network. Here is the situation: 1. I have a directory tree on the 1 server say: SOURCE 2. I have to rsync this directory tree on a backup server, say: Backup 3. This is a huge tree (about 8-9 GB) that grows by about 2-3 % a day. 4. What I did is... I gzipped the tree on a HD and restored it on the backup server 5. The file permissions

Hi, Well, I need the procedure or how to do a full backup of archives to a directory. Then, do incremental backups in different directories. For example: source-dir to dest-dir a full backup. incremental of sources-dir and differential of backup-dir in `date +%m%h%y` Then, i should have a full backup in the dest-dir and incremental+diferential backup in every $DATE directory. Any ideas? I try

Hi-- Can someone tell me how rsync performs it?s synchronization feature? What basic procedure does it use to check if files are different? Thanks :) All My Best, Jeffrey -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
