similar to: Rsync: Re: patch to enable faster mirroring of large filesystems

As root, I am trying to mirror a Redhat 7.3 Linux user area onto another Redhat 7.3 Linux box using rsync. This is using the following type of command: rsync -a -v --stats --safe-links However, rsync cannot mirror most of the user area because of the default permissions for the user areas. e.g., opendir(user1): Permission denied opendir(user2): Permission denied drwx------ 3 user1

Hi, Is there a network interface listen command for rsync so that for a system with multiple network cards and multiple IP addresses - rsync will only be visible on a defined interface and defined IPs? Like in samba?: e.g., bind interfaces only = True interfaces = eth0 193.xy.zz.aa 193.xy.zz.ab Can't seem to find such a thing in the documentation. Cheers, Lachlan.

Hi, Can anyone send me an example config file that makes use of ignore nonreadable timeout 600 When I try to put this in a module - rsync seems happy but it gets nasty logfile messages when a client connects to the server. Oct 19 20:30:14 4T:sv1 rsyncd[3706636]: params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly fo rmed line in configuration file: ignore nonreadable Oct 19 20:30:14 4T:sv1

What should be the official behaviour here? I must admit some of my scripts probably have both trailing and non-trailing "/". But just played around until it was mirroring into the correct directory.

There is a rather rambling tutorial at: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/rsync/ (this does not have ssh tunnelling in there) Though for the following - if the files are owned by root - root will be the only one able to rsync them across? Maybe creating a special account with some extra file privaledges but not 100% root could get the job done for you? Lachlan. > I need to set-up

Hi, First checking out http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html Following is output and error from trying to compile the latest openssh on SGI IRIX (using cc). Previous versions of openssh have compiled cleanly on this system using the following configure options. Is there a quick fix for this?

I have attached a patch that adds 4 options to rsync that have helped me to speed up my mirroring. I hope this is useful to someone else, but I fear that my relative inexperience with rsync has caused me to miss a way to do what I want without having to patch the code. So please let me know if I'm all wet. Here's my story: I have a large filesystem (around 20 gigabytes of data) that

Here is the problem. I have a primary and a secondary web server. I want to sync the home directory paths on the primary server with the secondary server. I am fairly ignorant to rsync and wondering what is the best method of doing this and how would I call the procedure from say a "perl script". Both Servers are FreeBSD 4.2 and there are actually two directorys I want to sync 1)

Hi, just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just last weekend, great consequences. We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This

Hallo, i am verry sorry about my bad engllish. But i trie my best... I trie to setup an Backupserver. If i use this rsync -varpog -e ssh /home/www/web6 217.172.xxx.xxx:/home/www/web6 the Server is asking me fore Password. If i use this rsync -varpog -e ssh --stats /home/www/web6 217.172.xxx.xxx:/home/www/web6 --password-file=host1.pwd the Server is asking me too fore Passwort. How i can bring

Rsync list: Alberto and I have done a couple more exchanges by private email, and we found that he wasn't turning on my include/exclude optimization in his test because he had an "exclude" directive in rsyncd.conf. He has now removed that and run the test again. His very interesting results are below with my comments. Note that his case is rather pathological because he's got

Hi, Tried to build dovecot-2.3.4 on Solaris 11 x86 and it fails at configure part.

Hi, I don't want to start another --files-from war, but I am attaching an updated version of my patch to allow you to specify a list of files to transfer. The normal rsync syntax allows you to specify a list of SRC files to transfer on the command line. This patch adds some new options to allow you to instead supply a file that contains a list of files to transfer. The previous version of

In my particular case, it is reasonable to assume that the size and timestamp will change when the file is updated. (We are looking at it as a patching mechanism.) Right now it's actually using update time only, I should modify it to check the file size as well. Is there a way you could query your database to tell you which extents have data that has been modified within a certain timeframe?

Not in any practical way that I know of. It's not normally a major hassle for us since rsync is used for a central backup that occurs on a large enough time scale that the timestamp does normally change
