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

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

Hi, In http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html, I noted that the often-observed hangs of rsync under Cygwin were assuaged by a call to msleep(). After upgrading my Cygwin environment to rsync 2.5.6, I'm seeing these hangs again, not surprisingly given a CVS entry for main.c notes that this kludge was not harmless: Revision 1.162 / (download) - annotate - [select for

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

I tried rsync 2.6.1cvs on my FreeBSD 4.X boxes. It dumps core when preserve_hard_links and backup. And SUPPORT_HARD_LINKS is true. rsync -avH --delete --backup --backup-dir=/some/backup/dir \ srchost::dir/ dir/ The core says... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x80536c0 in keep_backup

rsync 2.5.0 still has a bug where it hangs under some circumstances. The hang is beyond my abilities to track down. I'll keep trying, though, but here are details in case they're of use to anyone else: - Code configured & built on Solaris 2.5.1. - Same binary run on Solaris 2.5.1 (client) and 2.8 (server). - Using rsh transport, but also fails with ssh - Does not fail with

People of cygwin & rsync, I recently attempted to get cygwin and rsync working to solve a backup/mirroring need in my computer life. Well, as you might guess, I ran into a little but of trouble. Strangely enough, rsync seemed to be regularly hanging when I attempted to do a "get" (sycronize a remote to a local dir). Well, considering I want to automate this, that was not going

I'm backing my Ubuntu server up to an HFS+ case-sensitive volume on our iMac using the below rsync command and it hangs at the end. Compiling rsync 3.0.8 by hand with CFLAGS=-g on both systems shows that all rsync processes are in read_timeout(). $ rsync \ --delete-delay \ -P \ -v \ -A \ -X \ --fake-super \ -aH \ --numeric-ids \ --exclude '/dev' \

> Just curious: what about the rsync+ patch? Thanks for the reminder. I've just committed Jos's rsync+ patch onto the "branch_mbp_rsyncplus_merge" branch. If it works OK and nobody screams I will move it across onto the main tree tomorrow or Wednesday. I see the patch doesn't add documentation about the new options to the man page, so we should fix that in the future.

Hey guys, I've been working with rsync for the last couple weeks and I really need some help here. Linux to Linux transfers are working beautifully, but for the life of me I can't get transfers from win2k to work. I have the exact problem that was reported by Mark de Jong on Tue, 16 Jul 2002. I'm using the lastest version of cygwin, with rsync 2.5.5 and ssh 3.5p1 for my tests. The

Hi All, I am trying to see the rsync source code. I could see that there are main three processes: I realize that Server or Client becomes Sender or Receiver based on arguments provided. 1. Daemon start_daemon : clientserver.c 2. Server if(sender) { call recv_filter_list : exclude.c call send_file_list : flist.c call send_files :

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 ).

Greetings and salutations, rsync users. I have a problem. I'm hoping that someone out there could perhaps provide a hand. I've been trying to transfer large amounts of data (lots of data, lots of files) via rsync over an encrypted TCP tunnel, but I seem to be continually getting hangs in the transfers -- things will go along for a bit, and then just come to a screetching halt. There

I'm using rsync to sync DB files from a FreeBSD box to a Windows XP box under interix. Until today everything was fine but now as soon as the windows box hits one file which is now greater than 2Gb it goes into an infinite loop in generator.c:sum_sizes_sqroot The code at fault seems to be: for (l = len; l >>= 1; b += 2) {} Here's the stack: #0 0x00402ae3 in sum_sizes_sqroot

I've noticed the 3.0.0pre versions sometimes hanging while doing a local copy (through dirvish). This time a had a binary with debugging symbols, so I could do gdb backtraces.

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

Dear all, I've been trying to track down a problem with timeouts when pulling data from an rsync daemon and I have now run out of any useful ideas. The problem manifests itself when I try to transfer a large directory tree on a slow client machine. What happens then is that the client rsync process successfully receives the list of files from the server, then begins checking the local
