similar to: rsync with -ls option

Howdy, I just built this new version last week and am trying to rsync a running systems boot drive to an alternate drive on a different system (not running on the rsync drive target). The rsync seems to be crossing file system boundaries in spite of the -x flag. Can anyone help me with this please? I've also submitted a bug report. I'm running the rsync from a script that, now that I

I am copying from a rsync --daemon (have tried from both W2K/cygwin & Linux daemons) to a W2K machine. Some files get copied every time even though they haven't been touched since the last copy. I have experimented and deturmined that the file size seems to be important. If the file is between 926 & 933 bytes long it will always be copied!! Other sizes and possibly other aspects of

Maybe this is a ssh problem - but are you aware of the general issue ? http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182 Summary: ssh should still force SIGCHLD to be SIG_DFL when calling ssh-rand-helper Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 3.1p1 Platform: ix86 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal

Does rsync has directory name length limit? I was trying to rsync a directory that has the name length of 34 characters and getting permission denied error. $ rsync -avz --delete --force -e ssh /usr/local/apache/htdocs 192.168.0.2:/usr/local/apache building file list ... readlink htdocs/CorporateLegalTimesEDITORIAL_files/cBug_blueXs.gif: Permission denied readlink

I feel completely stupid for asking this question, but I have an essential problem of getting the syntax right for synchronizing multiple files. I am trying to use rsync to synchronize files generated in one directory with our public directory our web server. We have a number of files with the extension html so I have tried the following command line: rsync *.html

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

Hi! I am doing backups from a number of machines to an rsync server. For some time I was trying to come up with a solution, which would prevent users from peeking at each other's files, which are backed up. Finally, I've hacked rsync, introducing a new option "write only" for rsyncd.conf. When set to true, this option forbids the transfers from server to the client, thus solving

Howdy, I'm trying to update (rsyncronize) a system that I've placed in another state where I have replaced the networker with a new version that's pointing to a new and different server. I'm running with the following parameters: /usr/lsd/SunOS.5.7/bin/rsync -n -vvacrRlpogtuxz --stats --progress . sjsun5x:/usr --exclude-from=/excludes_usr When I run rsync I ask rsync to exclude

Rsync reports the status code of the remote command. So in some situations the status code is successful when the command fails. Rsync of a remote file to a local read-only directory fails, but exits with $status = 0. I'd like to get $status = 23. Is it possible? Local copy fails with status = 23 > mkdir /tmp/nowrite > chmod -w /tmp/nowrite > rsync /etc/group /tmp/nowrite || echo

Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Howdy, I just did a build on my CentOS 5.2 (x86_64) system and noticed the following error msg. I don't think this is a problem for me but I wanted the developers to be aware of it.

Howdy, I just did a git clone for the latest syslinux and when I entered the make command the build ended with an error. I also had to back level my git installation because "git clone url" doesn't seem to want to work any more yet it's what was on the web page.

I am trying to finalize the use of rsync for updatiung a new nfs server before we take the old one offline. I keep getting the following warning during the rsync process: Warning: unexpected rad size of 0 in map_ptr Any ideas where this comes from and how to make it go away? I am using rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 8 to pull data from rsync 2.5.2 on Solaris 7. Bob roconnor@vectorpartners.com

Hi, just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just last weekend, great consequences. We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This

I have so far been unable to get rsync to work properly in a test setup. Does anyone have any ideas? Both PCs are running RedHat 7.2. The Server: IP Address 192.168.0.202 Server Name: RH72TB hosts.allow ALL: 192.168.0.201 rsyncd.conf: [testmodule] path = /tmp The Client: IP Address 192.168.0.201 hosts file: 192.168.0.202 RH72TB I have run "rsync --daemon" on the server.

I have a similar problem with rsync, though it's not consistent. sometimes, things just don't come over, and sometimes, things just don't get deleted. Repeated runs usually correct it. If it's the case of a directory being replaced with a non-directory, you'll have to add "--force" to get it to happen. Hope it helps. Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com

Hi, I got stuck within some weird prob concerning my 2-node linux cluster and the synchronisation tool at hand (rsync-2.5.1pre1). I have to copy a structure of 70 directories where the data of these directories are hardlinked to the data of the 1st directory. Within this "orig data" directory, I have about 30.000 files, so the amount of files to sync is approx. 2.100.000. The

I get the following log messages using rsync 2.5.1 compiled on Solaris 8 when using the "hosts allow" option in rsyncd.conf: 2002/01/23 12:09:51 [28276] rsync: reverse name lookup mismatch on fd0 - spoofed address? 2002/01/23 12:10:18 [28276] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (16 bytes read so far) Resolv.conf/DNS are configured and working properly with both A and PTR records

Howdy, I am just starting to use rsync and now have an rsync server set up to back up our various machines. I recently started getting an error that is confusing and I can't find info documented on it. I searched the news group and found it mentioned but no solution yet. I get the error when sync'ing from a Solaris 8 machine to my Solaris 8 server. stat
