similar to: Nulls instead of data

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

We've just been hit rather badly by a very nasty bug that can cause rsync to silently discard files or fill them with zeroes. It happens when e.g. opendir() succeeds but readdir() returns an error; rsync does not check for an error from readdir() and so simply ignores the error (along with any remaining files in the directory). No error is reported to the user, who will then happily

I'm using rsync to mirror files from a Windows XP machine mounted via smbfs. Apparently I have something configured wrong as I get a "permisson denied" error accessing some of the files on the smbfs mount with cp, od, etc. However, rsync produces no error messages on these files. It happily creates files in the target directory that are the right size, but filled with null bytes.

smbclient (and smbtar) in version 2.2.7a (and prior) has problems with large files (> 4GB). The following patch (against 2.2.7a) fixes all known problems with this. This code has been checked into the CVS tree in all branches as well. -- ====================================================================== Herb Lewis Silicon Graphics Networking Engineer

Attached is a patch that makes window strides constant when files are walked with a constant block size. In these cases, it completely avoids all memmoves. In my simple local test of rsyncing 57MB of 10 local files, memmoved bytes went from 18MB to zero. I haven't tested this for a big variety of file cases. I think that this will always reduce the memmoves involved with walking a large

Hi gurus, I like zpool iostat and I like system monitoring, so I setup a script within sma to let me get the zpool iostat figures through snmp. The problem is that as zpool iostat is only run once for each snmp query, it always reports a static set of figures, like so: root at exodus:snmp # zpool iostat -v capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read

Currently you can only turn on miniexpect debugging by recompiling. These two patches make it configurable at runtime, and also improve the usefulness of the output. Rich.

Hi all, I''ve got alpha versions of nread and nwrite now added to the win32-file class in CVS. They seem to work fine, although I''ve noticed one bug in the File#read method. Let''s say we have a text file with "hello world" in it. If I call nread with no arguments, it works fine: fh = File.nopen("C:\\test.txt") p fh.nread -> "hello

Hi all, So far, so good. Things seem to work just fine and, in the case of nread, I am getting incredible performance. I can''t tell if this is due to some kind of caching, however. Anyway, there a couple of things I want to work out yet. The first is File#nread and Really Big Files. I created a 500 mb text file and sucked it into memory using Ruby''s File#read method just

Hi, This weekend I migrated a samba-server to new hardware and software : I'm running samba 3.2.7-11.3.2 on Opensuse 11.1. Everything works fine I believe except for an old DOS-application, written in Clipper. It's too slow to be usable. I tried to debug this but I'm stuck. I put the loglevel to 10, but I can't see anything wrong. I first added to veto oplock files :

Hi all, I've got a question, may be somebody can help me: 1. I've got a printer (Epson Stylus Photo R220) 2. Attached to Linux box via usb (Mandriva 2006+) 3.

Shared with samba (samba-server-3.0.21a-1mdk), user - tried guest and real linux user 5.On WinXP native driver install from CD (later updated from Espon site) 6.From WinXP I can see

I've looked at samba archives (mailing lists), I've looked at altavista, and deja.com. No help. I want to do a backup of NT machine using smbclient. I call it like: # smbclient //MACHINE/Share Pass -U Administrator -E -c tarmode full -D usr -d0 -Tc test.tar It starts fine, but after some time thing like this happen: ... Error reading file \usr\mail\Vanja\Attach\att11.eml. Got 0 bytes

The attached patch provides an additional check for the checksumming mode to ensure that a file that is actually written out to disk can be read back and has the same MD4 sum as the file on at the originating location.

In looking at source, I started at fileio and found write routines but no read routines. I found a 'WRITE_SIZE' (32K), but no 'READ_SIZE' -- is that' what the MAX_MAP_SIZE (256K)? I would like to make so that rsync can use larger I/O sizes if (maybe a command line option?).... The map routine led me to receiver -- where it looks like it is responsible for reading the file.
