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

I, too, was disappointed with rsync's performance when no changes were required (23 minutes to verify that a system of about 3200 files was identical). I wrote a little client/server python app which does the verification, and then hands rsync the list of files to update. This reduced the optimal case compare time to under 30 seconds. Here's what it does, and forgive me if these sound

We have AIX 4.3.3 ML09 and AIX 5.1 ML01 I have narrowed the problem down, it is nothing to do with uni/multiprocessor machines. Both rsync 2.3.1 compiled by Bull in an installp and a gcc compiled version of 2.4.5 ( by me ) both have exactly the same problem with SSH 3.1.p1 and both DONT have the problem with SSH 2.9.9p1 - so I assume this is something highly specific to SSH 3.1.1.p1 Hope this

Excuse me if I've forgotten something from earlier: what happens when the sender is remote? Do we send the contents of the file list across along with the arguments, or does this option not work in that case, or is the file named to be opened on the remote

Dave- I've got the rsync daemon running as root, (setgroups() man page said that if setgroups wasn't called as root it would give an error message) and I've configured the ports correctly a la man page. I still get the error with setgroups. If it's a recently implemented security feature could I yank that section out of the code and recompile it again? I haven't had a chance to
