similar to: using rsync with Mac OS X

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

Hi. Several months ago, I posted my first pass at a patch to transfer Mac OS X HFS+ metadata (resource forks and Finder metadata) to non-HFS+ filesystems (Linux, Solaris, etc). I finally got a chance to update the patch to reflect suggestions offered on the list. Thanks for the ideas, this version should be a big improvement. The diff and a binary (and a fuller explanation) can be found at:

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

what is the source and destination filesystem? here is some report that rsync has some problem with HFS+ filesystems and "ressource forks": http://quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/ but as you are using ubuntu and not osx i`m curious what`s the problem, so i think we need more information here. regards roland > Gesendet: Freitag, 12.

I ran into a problem that I couldn't resolve straight away, but would like to solve for sometime in the future. We have a Thecus storage server (similar to a Buffalo TeraByte, if that helps?) that has a Mac filesystem on it. The mother board was failing, but the drives are still OK. A new box has been added, so the urgency is sort of gone. I was going to try and back up the data to a new

Hi Bryan, thanks for your kind reply but it happend only with some fonts not all font file, (email with attachment is under verification by admin, so i resend this without attachment file) here i attach 2 screenshot one original folder and second backup folder, you can notice that the font .otf, .ttf, .dfont have no problem in rsync it copied as it is but the font that not show extension (Font

(apologies to Ralph, I replied directly to him w/o copying the lists, so here we go again) In my testing that wasn't the case. If I manually copy the apple generated AppleDouble file and it's 0 byte main file to my test system, the correct size (including the resource forks) are shown but the file type is not translated. Using "GetFileInfo" a file copied to the new

Thanks for the response! This would be really helpful because we use a lot of old adobe type 1 fonts that are 100% resource fork and are rendered unusable without the marshalled xattr's in addition to the AFP_ streams. While ideally having it seamlessly integrated into samba would be great, if it's easier to run a one-time conversion utility we can do that too. Thanks! -S On Wed, Apr

Ram, ? Look inside the .AppleDouble folder and tou will find the resource forks that hold the main part of the font data. ? Not a 'problem' with netatalk, but just how netatalk works so that it can represent apple files on non-apple filesystems. ? ?If you confirm the data all matches, this will prove rsync is working properly. ?

I'm just looking for some advice on a project I am currently working on. I have two OS X servers and I am looking to use rsync to mirror data between the two. I just love the fact that rsync only moves the data incrementally. It is very efficient and since I'm more of a Linux user and I feel comfortable with rsync. I'm just worried that the way the Apple File Sharing service handles

I have been trying for the past few months to set up my raspberry pi to do incremental backups using time machine over Samba since AFP is being deprecated. Also since the latest release of samba (4.8.0) came out with support for time machine I decided to compile it myself and give it a go. The drive is formatted in HFS plus. The main problem that I am having is that even though I can mount the

Hi all, Looking for a "best practices" way to share out to both Mac and PC easily. I know Windoze enables the same sharepoint for both the mac and pc shares and there don't seem to be any real "problems" by doing that. However I work in an environment which forces us to utilize Win9x through XP as well as OS 9 through 10.x on the mac side. I need a user friendly way to

Hey! I have been given the task to mirror our fileserver's filesystem onto a secondary machine for redundancy. The first thing that came to mind was rsync, but now I have few questions as I am far from an expert on this matter. Our file server is running Debian Stable. We use Samba for our Windows users and Netatalk (AFP) for our OS X clients. The filesystem used on the server is

Good morning list, this is my first question and hope really to get an answer, sorry for my bad english :-( Ok so i have a machine with ubuntu and use as data server for my graphics works. Now i am trying to backup my folder on an external HDD using "rsync" where i save all my data file (file of graphics software, image, font etc.). For this i mount HDD in local and launch command

Hi, Which version of Mac OS X are you running? If you are on Mac OS 10.5.x then I can only suggest that you try either formating the drive to HFS + or creating a disk image with an HFS+ file system. If you are running Mac OS 10.4.x then ensure that that ACL support is enabled on the drive. The following URL contains information on how to check and enable ACL support :

While trying to dodge issues with case-sensitivity, I stumbled on a somewhat effective solution: the old Mac OS Hierarchical File System (HFS). HFS is case insensitive and supports symlinks, making it very useful for Wine. The drawbacks are that it's slow compared to modern file systems, the max file size is 2GB and filenames are limited to 31 bytes. It will likely have problems running

hi all, I've read trough the list and see discussions with similar problems. I've setup a file server and users can connect to it via SMB/CIFS. Windows users just happy. The problem starts with the Mac users. All Mac users are using OS X (versions 10.2,10.3). I'm vetoing several files right now, permission inheriting turned on, I've forced the create mode and directory mode to

Hi A friend has a disk with an hfs filesystem on it; we'd like to move it to a Debian (etch 2.6.18-6) box and share it via samba 3.0.24. I can mount the hfs disk and see the files on the linux box : good I can share a normal (xfs/etx3) fs via samba to the Mac : good Although I can share the hfs fs via samba, the extended attributes are not visible; so the existing files on the hfs
