similar to: rsync server over SSH [includes code patches]

Wayne, Please consider the attached patch. This applies to the current CVS, and is independant of patches/local-batch.diff. As a matter of fact, I'm sure it would conflict heavily with local-batch.diff. This version of batch mode has a couple distinguishing features: Write-batch records (almost) the entire sender side of the conversation into one file. ("Almost" because it has

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 ).

Hello, here is a preliminary patch allowing rsync 2.5.6 to compile in BeOS (using the new BONE networking stack). Some explanations: - BeOS doesn't have chroot(), - the BONE networking stack export legacy network function for old apps in libnet.so (linked to by default), so it's necessary to force linking to the new libraries for things to work. I've yet to get inet_ntop() to be

Some of the debug messages that rsync outputs (when verbose >= 2) can occur on both sides of the connection. This makes it hard to know which program is saying what. Some debug messages deal with this by outputting a "[PID]" string at the start of the message. Unfortunately, the startup message that tells us which pid is which is only output when verbose >= 3, so there's a

Currently rsync has a bit of a problem with very large files. Dynamic block sizes were introduced to try handle that automatically if the user didn't specify a block size. Unfortunately that isn't enough and the block size would need to grow faster than the file. Besides, overly large block sizes mean large amounts of data need to be copied even for small changes. The maths indicate

tridge and Wayne in particular: I checked in this patch, which is meant to consolidate the ones from both of you for handling EOF in a modules list. The idea is that we need to handle servers that just close the socket rather than sending a nice ending token, but we want to keep EOF detection on in general. (The IO code is such a mess!) -- Martin Index: clientserver.c

Hi! I am doing backups from a number of machines to an rsync server. For some time I was trying to come up with a solution, which would prevent users from peeking at each other's files, which are backed up. Finally, I've hacked rsync, introducing a new option "write only" for rsyncd.conf. When set to true, this option forbids the transfers from server to the client, thus solving

Mark II of the patch set. The first patch (dynsumlen2.patch) increments the protocol version to support per-file dynamic block checksum sizes. It is a prerequisite for varsumlen2.patch. varsumlen2.patch implements per-file dynamic block and checksum sizes. The current block size calculation only applies to files between 7MB and 160MB setting the block size to 1/10,0000 of the file length for a

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

Wayne, It's taken a little while for me to get more familiar with the code, but I think I've reached a good breakpoint in improving batch-mode. Let me highlight some of the changes in the attached patch: * --write-batch and --read-batch arguments are no longer passed from client to server. This fixes the current problem that causes the server threads to die when the client

Yes, it's time once again to return to the subject of moving files. With the recent changes to the communications code between the receiver and the generator, there is now a non-clogging channel that we can use to signal the sender when a file has been successfully transferred, which allows us delete the original for all transferred files. I have in the past waffled on whether this feature

We use rsync to provide an rsync share on a linux server with a javascript program on Windows clients which ensures all client data is backed up each morning. After making no progress with my posting last month regarding making a module upload only to prevent someone from manually downloading the rsync share obtaining other users work (exclude = * wasn't possible because we need --delete to

I was wondering if it might be possible for an rsync developer to look over the attached patch (tested on Linux 2.4.24 against the rsync-2.6.0 release), and offer suggestions on how I could improve it. Basically I want to use Linux finer grained capabilities to retain only CAP_SYS_CHROOT & CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH when rsync drops root privs. That way I can take whole system backups as a (mostly)

I've been studying the read and write buffering in rsync and it turns out most I/O is done just a couple of bytes at a time. This means there are lots of system calls, and also most network traffic comprises lots of small packets. The behavior is most extreme when sending/receiving file deltas of identical files. The main case where I/O is buffered is writes from the server (when io

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. Anyone have an example of an MD4 collision so I can test that case? :) Patch Summary: -1 +1 Makefile.in -0 +304 hashlink.c (new)

Dear List, the attached patch makes rsync of local folders almost as fast as cp. when rsync client and server has detected that they are working in local_server mode, they use local_socket, a unix domain socket pair, to pass the file descriptors of the synced files. the server uses the file descriptor it receives from the client to fast copy from src to dst file. on completion of every file fast

Hi, One feature missing from rsync, and requested on this list before, is on-the-fly conversion of filename character encoding. For example, I often need to sync files having Hebrew filenames from a UTF-8 system (Linux) to an ISO8859-8 system (Cygwin on Windows 2000 using the non-Unicode Win32 interface). Other circumstances surely abound. Attached is a patch against rsync 2.6.2 that adds an
