Using rsync-2.4.6: Is a times difference supposed to cause a write? Also -t vs -I makes no difference. Below shows the problem, I think: [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ mkdir x y [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ cp /bin/ls x [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ ls -l x/ls -rwxr-xr-x 1 dmahurin users 43024 Nov 13 12:46 x/ls [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ rsync -vrtW x/ y building file list ... done ./ ls ./ wrote 43112 bytes

I was planning to use rsync to backup to a second drive, but I ran out of swap space. No problem, I will let rsync do it a few directories at a time overnight when the computer usually sits idle except for incomming email. I have 2 question: 1. How much memory does each file to be copied need. Obvisiouly I have too many files. 2. Why does this command work: rsync -ax /usr/xx /backup/usr/

hi! I have a problem with rsync (current CVS version), running on a win2k machine (rsync compiled using Cygwin). c:\rsync>rsync --version rsync version 2.4.6dev protocol version 24 Copyright (C) 1996-2001 by Andrew Tridgell, Paul Mackerras and others Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks It can DOWNload >2gb files from my linux box (with rsync reporting negative

I am getting this error on a Win98SE pc, but not on WinNT4 or Linux Redhat 7.1 or 7.2. Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket The command I used was rsync -e ssh gas.exe 10.105.50.180:src/ It works like I said on NT4 and from my Linux pc. I have cygwin installed on the win98 and NT. Rsync is version 2.4.6 Is it just because Win9x SU**s? Also where can I get a list of

I felt certain there was an option to do this, but I cannot find it. I want to rsync a directory on machine A over to machine B, and then rsync the directory on machine B back to machine A. The idea is this: I read my email using mutt, which is set to save my email in ~/Mail in maildir format. This means that each message is in its own file, instead of being appended to an existing file.

That's the way it is. If it's really a one-off change, a huge change in your structure, telnet ssh, rsh, and so forth, work really well for dropping in and deleting stuff (unless you're supplying the master, and other systems out of your control copy from you). Rsync is optimized for taking a filesystem in an unknown state, and making it identical to another filesystem in an unknown

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that rsync doesn't guarantee to produce identical file copies on the the target machine? Don't get me wrong in sounding critical because I think that rsync is a great example of how software should be written. (I often make the observation, as I learn more about Linux, and inevitably find myself comparing open source applications to Microsoft

Hello, Recently while working with rsync as the way to mirror large (several GB) archive on a regular basis, I came across several problems, and also got the ideas about their possible solutions - please could you investigate & consider implementing the features, described below, to future RSYNC releases ? - when the checksumming (consider very large archive, several GB) stage of rsync

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

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

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

Hi all, I have started the rsync in deamon mode. When I use the following command: rsync --port 9876 u018::treeA it seems to work fine but no files are copied from the server. Using rsync without the deamon works fine. I tried to debug it a little bit, but I am unable to figure out what's wrong. 337:david@u050 /export/treeA> rsync -r -vvv --port 9876 u018::treeA opening tcp

Has anyone noticed that the --bwlimit doesn't really work? I have MRTG stats happening, and on a 128Kbps circuit, an rsync with the following syntax takes up the whole line. $ rsync -avz -e ssh localfiles.tar.gz user@remote:/path/to/file/arch Any ideas? It's on an OpenBSD box going to a FreeBSD box. Both are 2.4.6. -#0
