Hi All I have compiled rsync on a Solaris 5.5.1 machine1 . I have compiled this on a partition on the machine as root. I have done the following shared the Partition on the machine i have compiled. mounted this partition this partition on the machine2 where I need to rsync data then When I issue the command on machine2 as rsync -avz machine2:/x machine3: It gives me sh :rsync not found EOF

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

To whom it may concern, Would appreciate it if anyone knows how we might easily exclude NFS mount points within a file system from being rsync'd? Regards, Craig Donnelly Andel Consulting 10 Fenchurch Avenue London EC3M 5BN Tel: 0207 6655055 Fax: 0207 6655060

Howdy, We occassionally get the following error when running our nightly backups: rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(229) This happens more on one or two machines than on any of the others. We've looked high and low to see if we're mistakenly sending these signals, but nothing is that we can find. Does anyone know what this might be from? Is it the server

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 it true that when running rsync via ssh (i.e. rsync -e ssh ...) the rsyncd.conf file is not applicable on the remote since rsync is launched via the ssh exec call once connected rather than from rsyncd as in a direct connect. If so, I am trying to find the best way to restrict rsync -e ssh on the remote machine. Prepending the authorized_keys entry with command='rsync ...' 1024...

Hello, I have set up an anonymous rsync server that seems to work as expected. However when I try to access the server from several other unix boxes using rsync with a command like this; rsync netlib3.cs.utk.edu::netlib I get the motd and then a line that states client: nothing to do Now I would expect this to give me a directory listing. I do get the directory listing as expected when

I see very odd results from rsync 2.4.7pre1, the latest cvs version (sept 12, i think was the last modified file). We have a number of network-attached storage devices. 10/100 ethernet, nfs2 mounted (under nfs3, they buffer deletes, and recursive deletions fail). Usually, these are kept syncronized across a wan by a nightly cronjob, We have a few we keep in reserve, which we syncronize

Hi, I got stuck within some weird prob concerning my 2-node linux cluster and the synchronisation tool at hand (rsync-2.5.1pre1). I have to copy a structure of 70 directories where the data of these directories are hardlinked to the data of the 1st directory. Within this "orig data" directory, I have about 30.000 files, so the amount of files to sync is approx. 2.100.000. The

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I have some files size 400MB+ that my rsync ends on, error message is : "Write failed: Broken pipe". Without this "big files" everything works smoothe. I searched to find anything about this problem but so far without any luck. Source machine : Solaris 8, rsync-2.4.6 Destination machine : FreeBSD 4.1.1, rsync 2.4.6 Command run(from source machine): rsync

This is where it sets a sort of 60 second timeout if you don't set a timeout at all. As far as what it affects, I'm not that good with the code. I just know that my big syncs would die in almost exactly 1 minute unless I specified a timeout, and then would die at that timeout until i got it very large. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tools@willy

hello, i am having problems syncing directories. what i want to accomplish is the copying of a directory from a beta environment to a live environment. at the moment what i am doing is this: /usr/local/bin/rsync -rtv --include '*/' --include 'dir/to/publish' --exclude '*' /web/beta/betawebsite user@webserver::web/livewebsite unfortunately this takes ages, as rsync of

I am using the following command to mirror a directory between two Sun systems using rsync 2.5.5: /usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose --archive --delete --ignore-errors --exclude-from=$HOME/ems.exclude $SOURCE $DEST It appears that deletes and even transfers are being affected by the number of files. Here is a look at the directories: /data/EMS/data : 1 /data/EMS/hist : 0 /data/EMS/parameters : 6089

I am trying to finalize the use of rsync for updatiung a new nfs server before we take the old one offline. I keep getting the following warning during the rsync process: Warning: unexpected rad size of 0 in map_ptr Any ideas where this comes from and how to make it go away? I am using rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 8 to pull data from rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 7. Bob roconnor@vectorpartners.com

I'm translating rsync.1, and i'm having some problems with the --compare-dest option description, actually i dont understand the part which describes the usefulness of this option, it says : This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files have been successfully transferred (for

rsync is great for syncing 2 directory trees, but I want to maintain a master source tree on one machine and copy that to multiple machines. i.e. basically what rdist does The only way I can see of doing this with rsync is to have multiple cron jobs 0 * * * * rsync ... machine1:... 0 * * * * rsync ... machine2:... ...and so on. Is there a more elegant/compact way of doing this? Thanks

I have 5 windows workstations and 1 computer running freebsd 4.4 I want to install rsync on the freebsd computer so I can use it to backup some files/documents on my windows workstations. I want rsync to run automatically every 6pm mon-sat. I wanna ask if there is someone in this list who can give me guidelines on how i can do this. And another question I have is do I need to install samba? i

hello, I'm new with rsync (shame on me ignoring this great tool for many years!) For the following question I could not get an answer from the docs: Is it possible to run rsync in a force mode like `cp -f? for overwriting files without write permission? I need this for a local rsync. What I'm actually doing is to run `find . -type f -perm u-w -exec chmod u+w {} \;? on the destination

1) I'm a developer. 2) I use one special machine as a CVS server, generic storage ( an electronic attic ), as a web server of online documentation ( such as the python documentation, or SGI STL docs ). 3) I would like to add a hard drive to that system that mirrors the system drive. Someone suggested that I use rsync for this purpose. Called by a cron job that starts at 2:00am. I also want to
