similar to: Patch to make rsync preserve access times

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I

In the past there have been discussions about adding a switch to rsync to preserve the atime on files being copied by rsync. I needed this function for a project I'm working on and decided to invent it. I've attached the diffs. Note that this has the limitations describe in previous emails, namely that preserving atime causes ctime to not be preserved. *** Patch follows *** ***

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

I am looking at rsync 2.6.6 When I try to rsync a directory using --link-dest it never creates hardlinks. After crashing my way through the code here is what I found: generator.c: function 'unchanged_file' if (ignore_times) return 0; return cmp_modtime(st->st_mtime, file->modtime) == 0; shouldn't these lines be: if (ignore_times) return 1;

The attached patch makes two changes to the behavior of the -v option: 1) The initial "building file list ... done" and the last two lines with transfer statistics are moved to verbose level 2, which means that you have to specify -vv to see them. When I use -v, I only want to see which files are being updated. Perhaps the statistics could be controlled by a separate option,

Greetings, all. A co-worker has found a problem with using the '--update' option of rsync, but happily he was able to fix it. Since I'm the one who's subscribed to the rsync mailing list, I'm the one that gets to share it with y'all. ;) A snippet of his email to our developers describes the problem: > Subject: rsync fixed: --update bug > Date: Friday 18 June

When syncing from Linux to Aix --itemize-changes with --perms lists directories every time because the high-order st_mode bits for directories differ between the two systems, and itemize() isn't masking them with CHMOD_BITS. Here is a fix, tested with 2.6.6pre1. PS: I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, please Cc: if you need more info from me. Thanks. --- generator.c.~1~ Thu Jun

We use rsync to update an nfs server. After an update, we noticed that a large number of clients didn't see the updated data. It took me a while to be able to reliably reproduce this problem, but it happens on old and new versions of rysnc. It also happens across all the platforms we use here (sun/linux/netapp). This shows the problem: [Note my home directory is NFS mounted]

I've run into a bug in the IO handling when reading a file. Suppose I have a file that lives on an NFS filesystem. That filesystem is NOT being exported with auth=0 permissions. So, if I try to access a file as root, it successfully opens the file, but subsequent reads fail with EACCES. This produces a destination file full of null bytes. I noticed this with 2.5.7, but checked 2.6.2 as

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the

Hi all, I recently ran into some problems with rsync. My plan is to renew some of our old administration concepts from early 90's, I already replaced rdist with rsync a few years ago. Because of the rdist legacy, the current method requires synchronizing files into 6 different locations, {/alt,/usr/alt}/{hostdep,sysdep,hutdep}, which in turn are prioritized by a tool that just symlinks

Here is a diff which should allow applying batch updates remotely ( as apposed to copying the batch files to the remote server and running rsync there ).

People of cygwin & rsync, I recently attempted to get cygwin and rsync working to solve a backup/mirroring need in my computer life. Well, as you might guess, I ran into a little but of trouble. Strangely enough, rsync seemed to be regularly hanging when I attempted to do a "get" (sycronize a remote to a local dir). Well, considering I want to automate this, that was not going
