if i do an rsync to the current directory, how come the parent directory isn't created? I normally just get my files spewed into the current directory, eventhough I am trying to transfer a directory. Something like this rsync -avp host::module/ . -- Jason G Helfman Network Administrator

Why would I be getting this on a box? I have the same permissions on many other directories. Using verbose mode shows nothing more then the error in the Subject line. Any help is appreciated. -- Jason G Helfman Network Administrator BizRate.com 310.754.1264 desk

What flags or options could be used to optimize rsync? I have seen a huge amount of cpu and memory be used in this process we have. I think using the --delete function is a lot of overhead. The options we normally use are -avrpg I would like to reduce all unnecessary processing and overhead. Thank you. -- Jason G Helfman

rsync -avnp remote::gif/ `find /home/www/html/ -maxdepth 1 -name "*.[j,g][pg,if]*"` /tmp/ If I run this on the local machine, the rsync server, it takes this long: ---> root@server (0.34)# time find /home/www/html/ -maxdepth 1 -name "*.[j,g][pg,if]*" -type f /home/www/html/comparestores_2.jpg /home/www/html/home.jpg /home/www/html/comparestores_3.jpg

Greets. I'm using rsync 2.5.2 but have seen this with 2.5.1. My system is Red Hat 7.2 with the current errata updates. Using rsyncd with xinetd it seems as if old processes never go away. For example right now I have 3 open rsync connections according to netstat -nap but 30 rsync --daemon processes going! All of them show: [root@root]$ ps ax | grep rsync 24950 ? S 0:05 rsync

I am running RedHat 6.2 on many of my servers and am receiving the following errors when compiling Rsync 2.5.2: [root@wrapguy rsync-2.5.2]# make gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -c rsync.c -o rsync.o In file included from rsync.c:23: rsync.h:339: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union rsync.h:339: parse error before `inode' rsync.h:341: parse error before `dev'

Can someone please address this? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed... From: Jason Helfman <jhelfman@bizrate.com> Subject: Help... Strip Whitespace.

I'm setting rsync up for the first time and would prefer to have the exclude file defined in the conf file, but the exclusions aren't honoured when I define the parameter in rsyncd.conf - although they are when I specify the file in an argument. The server is the remote system and both rsyncd.conf and the exclude file are the same on both local and remote systems. I'm attaching the

Greets. I thought I saw someone asking for problem reports against 2.5.5. Red Hat 7.1 + errata with rsync 2.5.5 from tgz sources. I use the rsync command: rsync -rltv --partial --delete --delete-excluded" \ rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ \ /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/kernel.org/ I get the following error: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1493971 bytes read so far)

Hi All, I am 'trying' to set SMART_HOST in sendmail to point to smtp-relay.gmail.com but when looking at the /var/log/maillog its going to mx203.inbound-mx.net. [192.110.255.243], why??? my line from sendmail.mc define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-relay.gmail.com') I did make in /etc/mail and service sendmail restart This is the only SMART_HOST in the config file. I started with the

Hello all, I've found some behavior in 2.5.5 that is contrary to the documentation in the man page. Specifically, I'm running an rsync server (i.e. from inetd with --daemon),and in the module definition I'm specifying the line "exclude nosyncdir". The documentation for rsyncd.conf indicates that this is exactly equivalent to using "--exclude nosyncdir" on the

Hi All, I have installed rysnc-2.6.3 on my debian linux ( 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i686). While configuration it was successful and i installed it without any error.

I'm having trouble getting rsync to output the log into common log format. My web statistics program Webalizer (www.webalizer.org) wants the logs in Common Log Format (httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_common.html). Briefly, that's a string host ident authuser date request status bytes subject to some conditions (for instance, the date is in square brackets). My rsyncd.conf file has

I've got an rsyncd.secrets file with 59 accounts in it. Almost all these need to be enabled concurrently. My rsyncd.conf thus has an auth users field with upward of 50 values. I'm starting to wonder at what point I'll have maxed that field out, especially as we're taking on new accounts all the time. Incidentally, whether or not there is a limit, is it possible to do some

Hi, I have installed rsync on CentOS4, Installation went through ok and I tested it as well by copying a folder to mounted tap backup drive. But now I need to run rsync as daemon(server), trying to find /etc/rsyncd.conf file but there is no rsyncd.conf file exists under /etc directory. Having read online I found out that /etc/rsyncd.conf file needs to be manually created. Is there any sample

Hi, I've having some difficulty using rsync from a client to a rsyncd Server (RedHat 7.2). Although the same command works fine on the server.

Sorry slightly OT. Looking for the RSYNC community with modern OS X and older BSD OS to advise how to get rsync build / download for BSD 4.7, so I can backup and update .. Alas found an rsync setup (CCC by Mike Bombich) for my just rebuilt Mac Mini to 10.5.8 .. NOW need to find how to save my BSD box so I can upgrade.
