File over 2GB using Cygwin
I am trying to rsync a file of 10gb between an NT host running Cygwin 4.10 and a Solaris 8 host running rsync 2.5.1 but am having problems with what appears to be a 2gb file limit - the truncation point occurs at 2096111616 bytes. The target filesystem definately supports files over 2GB. Any ideas how to overcome this limitation? Regards, Craig Donnelly Andel Consulting 10 Fenchurch Avenue

definite data corruption in 2.5.0 with -z option
I just confirmed that data corruption can occasionally occur with rsync 2.5.0 when the -z option is used. My command was the following: rsync -vaz --partial --block-size=65536 --checksum remote:/path/ /localdir The files consisted of a year's worth of email (262MB), broken into one file for each day. At least this doesn't seem to occur silently; I get the message "ERROR: file

Block Size
What is the default block size? I have a few files 30+mb and data is just added to the end of them. It seems like it takes longer to sync them that it was to send it initially. Should I change the block size or something else? I am running: rsync -z -e ssh *.* user@linuxbox:data/ I need to use ssh because I am going over the internet and sending "company data". -------------- next

mixed case file systems.
I am having trouble with rsync when I am trying to synchronize a Windows NT volume mounted with smb_fs (FreeBSD) and a unix volume which is also exported with Samba. There are instances where the DOS short name on the NT volume ends up as upper case and then doesn't match filenames which are used in the unix volumes which have been exported by Samba. I don't know if this is a Samba

Feedback on 2.4.7pre1
FYI, We've been using the 2.4.7pre1 release for several days now, with nary a hang problem. We haven't seen the EOF bug at all, which was what we upgraded for. This is with transfers of as much as 50GB to set up an initial mirror. The only thing we did was set timeout=0 -- which I guess is unnecessary. The semantics of this flag are a bit unclear. We thought was 'time since

Future RSYNC enhancement/improvement suggestions
Hello, Recently while working with rsync as the way to mirror large (several GB) archive on a regular basis, I came across several problems, and also got the ideas about their possible solutions - please could you investigate & consider implementing the features, described below, to future RSYNC releases ? - when the checksumming (consider very large archive, several GB) stage of rsync

out of memory in build_hash_table
I recently installed rsync 2.5.5 on both my rsync server and client being used. I installed the latest version because I was having problems with rsync stalling with version 2.4.6 (I read that 2.5.5 was supposed to clear this up or at least give more appropriate errors). I am still having problems with rsync stalling even after upgrading to 2.5.5. It only stalls in the "/home" tree

Non-determinism
Is anyone else concerned about the fact that rsync doesn't guarantee to produce identical file copies on the the target machine? Don't get me wrong in sounding critical because I think that rsync is a great example of how software should be written. (I often make the observation, as I learn more about Linux, and inevitably find myself comparing open source applications to Microsoft

Patch to avoid 'Connection reset by peer' error for rsync on cygwin
The problem is caused because rsync does not close its sockets, and WinSock is a quite strict on this. The solution is to shutdown and close the fd. This is a 5-minute hack I've done to fix the obvious occurrences of the problem. It might be better to extend rsyncs cleanup functions for this, but here it is anyway to alert people to the problem and its fix. Max. BEGIN PATCH diff -mru

Compressed backup
Hi I am using rsync for backup on the disks of a Linux backup server. Obviously the server could store more data it the data were compressed. I read the "rsync -> tar" thread. Unfortunately, a compressed file system for Linuthere does not seem to exist yet. However, rsync can use compression for file transfer. Would it be possible to implement an option to store the data on the

Problem with transfering large files.
Hi, I have some files size 400MB+ that my rsync ends on, error message is : "Write failed: Broken pipe". Without this "big files" everything works smoothe.

Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket
I am getting this error on a Win98SE pc, but not on WinNT4 or Linux Redhat 7.1 or 7.2. Failed to dup/close : The descriptor is a file, not a socket The command I used was rsync -e ssh gas.exe 10.105.50.180:src/ It works like I said on NT4 and from my Linux pc. I have cygwin installed on the win98 and NT. Rsync is version 2.4.6 Is it just because Win9x SU**s? Also where can I get a list of

move rsync development tree to BitKeeper?
Andrew and I thought it might be an interesting experiment to move rsync to using BitKeeper rather than CVS for source code control. For a project with rsync's size and activity CVS is actually fine, but it would be a nice "toe in the water" with BitKeeper to get some practical experience before possibly using it on larger projects. BK is moderately well-proven on open source

how to take least risk on rsync dir
Hello list, When rsync dir_A to dir_B, I hope I wont make any change to the original dir_B unless the rsync procedure end withour errors, therefore, I hope there's somethig like rsync -av dir_A dir_B_tmp && \ mv dir_B dir_B.bkup && mv dir_B_tmp dir_B This small script can ensure the minimal change time between 2 versions of archive. Is this built in the native rsync

times difference causes write
Using rsync-2.4.6: Is a times difference supposed to cause a write? Also -t vs -I makes no difference. Below shows the problem, I think: [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ mkdir x y [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ cp /bin/ls x [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ ls -l x/ls -rwxr-xr-x 1 dmahurin users 43024 Nov 13 12:46 x/ls [dmahurin@pc16 /tmp]$ rsync -vrtW x/ y building file list ... done ./ ls ./ wrote 43112 bytes

rsync dir in _both_ directions?
I felt certain there was an option to do this, but I cannot find it. I want to rsync a directory on machine A over to machine B, and then rsync the directory on machine B back to machine A. The idea is this: I read my email using mutt, which is set to save my email in ~/Mail in maildir format. This means that each message is in its own file, instead of being appended to an existing file.
