similar to: rsync 2.4.7pre1 release

I've gone through the CVS commit log and tried to get every user-visible change since 2.4.6, so that we can make a proper announcement for 2.4.7. Please let me know if anything is missing/inaccurate. At this stage I'm planning to release two 2.4.7pre tarballs, one with the "large nohang patch" and one without. Some people inside VA will be stress-testing both, and so we can

I am happy to announce a new stable release of rsync-2.5.0. This supersedes 2.4.6 and 2.4.7pre4. In particular, this release is supposed to fix the hang bug experienced by many people when using the -v option. rsync 2.5.0 also adds support for IPv6, and works on more platforms. Other enhancements are listed in the NEWS file below. Please report success or failure in building or using

I'd like to revisit the topic of moving files from system to system using rsync. I've just updated my patch from its 2.5.0 version to 2.5.1, and I'm curious what people think about getting it integrated into rsync. The patch comes in two parts. The first eliminates a potential hang condition that can happen if the data channel from the receiver to the generator gets clogged up.

We are running rsync 2.4.6 on HPUX-11and using it to push a document-root from a staging area to several servers running rsync in daemon mode. The rsync client syncs successfully to modules on the same server and to most other machines, but hangs when trying to syncronise across a firewall (from SECURE zone to DMZ) (The firewall port IS OPEN!!) During a normal release where there are rougly

Hello All: I've having repeatable problems copying files between linux machines using rsync-2.5.1 and various recent flavors of openssh. The symptom when testing with a single 2M file is that rsync hangs when when the file is 97% transferred. It seems from looking at various archives that this problem may be non-trivial. I tried applying the patch at

I have a few clients who prepare some reports and put it in their outgoing/ directory for me to pick up every morning. Is there a way to delete those files from their outgoing/ after I fetch them ? Thanks Nishi

Perhaps someone can shed some light on the problem I'm having using rsync 2.4.6. I'm getting the following error: receiving file list ... done htdocs/acescounseling/logs/ htdocs/adihome/logs/ . . htdocs/coupons/logs/error_log htdocs/court/logs/combined_log htdocs/cowgirl/logs/combined_log htdocs/cowgirl/logs/error_log htdocs/cowgirl/logs/ssl_log Connection to nova closed by remote host.

Hello, We have used rsync on a mirroring application successfully for just over a year. After our upgrade to 2.4.6, however, the process started failing about 50% of the time. The nature of our failure was that the rsync processes on the remote system would die with no error message, leaving the local system processes hung. I have netstat and trace output for available if needed, but I see

Hi, We're running the rsync 2.4.7 pre-release to backup a number of servers to a central backup server, all running Linux 2.2.17 kernel. We moved up to 2.4.7, hoping it would fix the 'unexpected EOF' errors which we were getting everytime we'd run more than a handful of rsyncs at the same time. Initial tests have not shown the EOF errors. However, on one backup, when rsync

Martin, I want to remind you that there's still an open issue regarding copies when both source and destination are on the local machine (including over NFS): I put a patch into the CVS to automatically imply the '-W' option in that case, and somebody said he was concerned about that because he found that with -W on local copies he had cases where rsync would lock up, and it

FYI, We've been using the 2.4.7pre1 release for several days now, with nary a hang problem. We haven't seen the EOF bug at all, which was what we upgraded for. This is with transfers of as much as 50GB to set up an initial mirror. The only thing we did was set timeout=0 -- which I guess is unnecessary. The semantics of this flag are a bit unclear. We thought was 'time since

Hello list, did someone have a similar issue like I have? -> Bought an AMD X2 3600+ and an Asus M2V (with Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter). Installed Centos 5 64_x86 and build atl1 from this source -> http://www.hogchain.net/attansic/AtL1Linux_v1.0.41.0.tar.gz After an insmod atl1 Centos say good bye with a kernel panic. I could only remind that there stand "Bad RIP value."

I think this version still hangs when doing a large (2GB) local transfer. If anybody else can confirm or deny this that would be great. C-c and restart fixes it. I will look at Wayne's alternative to tridge's patch to see if that fixes it. Also, my attempt to standardize socklen_t seems to have broken UNICOS and HP/UX. Albert gave a good suggestion to fix that which I will try out

Hi! I've been looking for a solution to periodically pull files from a server and delete them after a successful download. rsync + the --move-files patch seems to be the perfect solution for it as I can run it through ssh. I've found the following download location in the mail archive: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/rsync-nohang.patch http://www.clari.net/~wayne/rsync-move-files.patch

I have installed a helpdesk client on my office PC under wine. I get the following error during running: --------------------- The following components are either not present on this machine or have an incorrect version number: Microsoft ADO DB (Minimal required version: 2.1) Please try to correct this problem before starting the application. ---------------------- The application installed

Hi, I have managed to test this same transfer reliably with the Linux boxes and open-ssh, but I am in trouble with the OSF1 4.0 (Digital Unix) being the server sending files from a single directory to the HP/UX 11 - being the client The 'sshd2' (and ssh2) in both ends is installed as root (and starts probably from 'rc') The 'rsync' (2.4.6) in both end is just

Are there issues between different versions of rsync? Specifically I have a 2.4.6 on solaris 8 pushing to a 2.3.0 on solaris 2.6 over ssh(F-Secure version). The issue that I am seeing is that when I use the following command: rsync --delete -rlvp -e ssh2 $localdir user@host:remotedir The user and group are different on both boxes(neither being root). Any help would be appreciated. --Jeff

Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as well. We are also using the -a (archive) option, by the way, which should mean "preserve

I just bought a pair of Belkin USB UPSes -- F6C1200-UNV and F6C550-AVR -- and installed the latest version of nut under Ubuntu 7.04. I'm using the F6C1200-UNV.
