similar to: Error in rsync that I don't understand..

Here is the structure of my servers : Source : /home/test1/link_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... sub_dir2 ... Destination: /home/test2/real_dir sub_dir1 file1 file2 ... subdir2

Does anybody know under what conditions does the error, "IO ERROR skipping delete" show up? I'm trying to sync some areas and getting this error. My guess is that rsync cannot access all the areas in the source. I got some permission denied errors prior to getting the IO error message.. sri

Hi folks, I've been googling around for awhile but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. I have a number of filesystems that contain thousands of hard links due to some bad organization of data. Rsync, cpio and various other utilities fail to copy this data because I think there might be some cycles in it. (you know you have troubles if cpio can't copy it!) What I thought

Hi folks, I'm having a problem with my rsync between two areas between a WAN. The problem is really odd. I have a script that runs every night. Lately, we've been having problems with rsync. The source side is an ordinary file while the destination side is a symlink. We've been having problems with rsync deleting the symlink and repacing it with the source copy despite having it in

I have a question regarding how rsync changes ownership when syncing two areas. Currently, I have this situation: I have two areas over a WAN, we are trying to mirror from one site to another. One site is not controlled by us and has different unix groups. When we copy one to the other, we are running rsync on an account that exists at both places (different UIDs though) In one area we have

I am able to perform the following line rsync -rsh="/usr/bin/ssh" filename host:/dir/filename But I am not able to perform this rsync -rsh="/usr/bin/ssh" filename host:module_name where rsyncd.conf contains the following pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log read only = false [module_name] path = /home/test comment =

I have a problem compiling openssh 2.3.0p1 The configure script runs fine then if you see below; when I compile it dies: Manual pages: /usr/local/man/manX PID file: /usr/local/etc Random number collection: Builtin (timeout 200) Manpage format: man PAM support: yes KerberosIV support: no

This patch fixes my botched attempted to patch deattack.c. I created a bsd-cray.h file and cleaned up a few error cases in bsd-cray.c. Fixed cray_setup call to pass uid and login name in session.c and moved its call so that its called with root privs. Its been tested on a irix, sun, aix, unicos(SV1) and unicosmk(T3E) systems. If you are building this on a T3E you may have to edit the Makefile

Hi all. I'm getting the following error when using rsync: nice -n 20 rsync -e "ssh -p30000" --recursive --verbose --verbose --checksum --times --modify-window 2 --port=31000 --dry-run /cygdrive/f/bkp/Doc/Builds/Buildsheets/ MYUSERNAME@MY.SERV.ER.IP:TESTDIR opening connection using ssh -p30000 -l MYUSERNAME MY.SERV.ER.IP rsync --server -vvntrc --modify-window=2 .

Is anyone successfully using the Cygwin rsync on Win2k (or NT4) as both daemon and client, with --delete-after working on the client? I can get --delete to work, but I'd prefer to delete files only on a successful transfer, to ensure that the end-user has a working collection of files, no matter what release. For some reason, --delete-after does nothing for me, even as administrator on the

Is there a way to specify "strict modes = false" on the client side? I'm having trouble getting the client to accept the password file on Windows 2000, since rsync doesn't want the file to be other-readable, but this concept doesn't map too well to Windows. Alternatively, if I could simply set the proper permissions on the passfile, that would suit me fine, but it seems

Hi, The 4.4p1 release is approaching now, so we are now asking people to actively test snapshots or CVS and report back to the mailing list. Snapshots are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap or from any of the mirrors listed on http://www.openssh.org/portable.html The latter page also includes instructions for checking out portable OpenSSH via anonymous CVS. This release

Hi, all. This is my first post to the list, so please forgive me if this is an old issue. I scoured the mailing list archives by hand and could find no mention of it, and the official FAQ-o-matic mentions it, but doesn't offer a fix that works for me. I've set up an rsync daemon on Windows NT4 by installing the latest cygwin. Using the cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, I'm able to connect

Significant changes since last patch. Deleted patches to packet.c and channel.c - not needed. Add small patch to sshd.c and openbsd/ssh-cray.c to disable cray process privileges. Depending on how a cray unicos/unicosmk system is configured user could su to root without a password with out this mod. Add no_sco flag to noop check for -lrpc which assumes that their was a -lyp library.

I've got an rsyncd.secrets file with 59 accounts in it. Almost all these need to be enabled concurrently. My rsyncd.conf thus has an auth users field with upward of 50 values. I'm starting to wonder at what point I'll have maxed that field out, especially as we're taking on new accounts all the time. Incidentally, whether or not there is a limit, is it possible to do some

Hi all. I'm writing an installation script that uses Cygwin's bash.exe to launch an rsync.exe process, which is passed arguments. This performs an rsync over the Internet. I'd like to capture stdout to one file, and stderr to another, so that I can have a clean log of any errors. However, rsync.exe's use of file descriptors isn't jiving with my understanding of them. If I
