similar to: permissions in dryrun mode

As I reported a while back rsync doesn't handle metadata (permissions and ownership) in dryrun mode. I offered to make a patch and that offer still stands. I didn't have the time for it until now and want to pick it up again. I had some ugly hack back then but I want to redo it in a clean way. I would like some input on my thoughts. IMHO, it would be ideally if the check for dry_run

Hi, I am on a developpers list for mandrake: cooker@ and the rsync-servers broke which resulted in a lot of very unhappy people cause their rsync directories got empied. My idea is the following. rsync is a mirroring tool. The usual thing that happens in a mirroring tool is that packages do not disappear. You server that archive: like the linux-kernel server. And you got servers that update

Using newest rsync on Mac OS X: Why would THIS work: rsync -avze ssh derek@mydomain.com:/home/derek/digitize.pub ./ But THIS immediately shoot back a "No match" error: rsync -avze ssh derek@mydomain.com:/home/derek/*.pub ./ The 2nd example doesn't even try to log in. Rsync just immediately shoots back this error: rsync: No match. Wildcard DOES work locally: THIS WORKS: rsync

New to the group! Which version is considered stable for redhat 7.2. I have attempted to compile 2.5.2 but recieve numerous compile warning.

Hi, I have configure rsync 2.4.6-2 on redhat 7.1 but i am facing a problem while synchronizing big directory tree between two linux system over the network. Even if i mount any volume either through (nfs or ncp or samba) this sync commands stops after copying few directorys. I have tried 2.5.0 version but that too shows a message saying bits overflow and it shows that it is copying file but

Hi there, I've had a look on the web, and in the archives, but I dont see any mention to this problem/feature. Essentially, I have a local mirror, and a live webserver, with a little script that will execute a --dryrun rsync, ask the user for confirmation, then go ahead and transfer the local updates to the live server. The problem Im having is when Im sync'ing newly generated

Hi, I've had some issues with rsync over ssh with version 2.4.4 which an update to 2.4.6 fixed. The problem I have now is that machines which do not have a valid reverse dns entry for their IP addresses get empty directory listings from the server, even though they can get the module list and the motd each time. This is what I see in the server's log file for each attempt from such hosts

I recently upgraded one of my servers to 2.5.0. Since then, I've been getting error messages like following between 2.5.0 and 2.4.6 servers. bit length overflow code 3 bits 7->6 code 10 bits 5->6 Does this error come from using different protocol version?

1) I'm a developer. 2) I use one special machine as a CVS server, generic storage ( an electronic attic ), as a web server of online documentation ( such as the python documentation, or SGI STL docs ). 3) I would like to add a hard drive to that system that mirrors the system drive. Someone suggested that I use rsync for this purpose. Called by a cron job that starts at 2:00am. I also want to

rsync-2.4.6-2mdk I ran an rsync into a file system that filled up. I got no error message out of rsync - it just stopped and exited sliently. I stuck an fprintf into the receiving code and verified that the proper error was being generated - it just never gets printed by the rsync sending process. I submitted a bug report about it; but, I can't believe that other people haven't had

We're using rsync to mirror a web server. The rsync is initiated using ssh from a Red Hat Linux 7.2 box, the files are located on an Alpha running a version of Digital Unix 4. On the Alpha rsync is 2.5.2, The Linux box used to have a 2.4.6-X version, but with the map_ptr problems I built 2.5.2 on that as well. However, version incompatibility was not the problem, as they persist after the

A patch that was applied yesterday tried to turn the vnc option off if dryrun was set. Unfortunately, the way it was actually coded turned vnc ON if dryrun was not set! I think this patch should fix it (someone who actually uses vnc & dryrun should test it, though). -George +-------------------+---------------------------------------- | dunlapg@umich.edu |

Hi all, rsync-2.4.6 has been running for quite a while with no problems, until about a week ago when for some reason it blocked on the same host ever time. I use it to backup about thirty hosts to my backup server, but for some reason it's illiciting that blocking bug that some people experience with 2.4.6. So, I upgraded the client side with 2.4.7, but it complained of protocol differences.

Hello, I'm having a problem doing a remote rsync over ssh - i'm using a script that has worked for quite a while, using rsync 2.4.6 on both ends. I upgraded the "client" to 2.5.5, and began seeing this error: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (158246 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) At which time there is a

Howdy, We occassionally get the following error when running our nightly backups: rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(229) This happens more on one or two machines than on any of the others. We've looked high and low to see if we're mistakenly sending these signals, but nothing is that we can find. Does anyone know what this might be from? Is it the server

Greetings: I have two systems, HP model 9000/800/R380. They are identical systems running 64-bit HP-UX 11.0 with 1GB RAM. I have downloaded and installed the HP rsync binaries, version 2.4.6 on both the source and target systems. The directory tree on the source system contains over 58GB of data in 1.3 million objects (including directories, links and files), 1.2 million normal files. The

I am trying to use rsync 2.4.6 to try creating a backup using another locally connected hard disk. Thing copy, but sometimes the group is eith numeric (valid). Often the owner is not even shown. This is the command I use for rsync: rsync-2.4.6/rsync -arxlHpogDt /usr/ /backup/usr/ --delete I login as root. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ian Kettleborough ian@idk.com
