similar to: Question on using rsync delete option

You brought up a very good point which described what rsync can and can not do. Because of the robustness of this application, we are trying to find a way to use rsync and replacing our current primitive system which uses tar and send the data over a small pipe. Since my last posting, I have thought about not using the "--delete"option and instead, gather a list of files to be

Hello all, I've been working on a package to do various things related to the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution and wanted to be able to make fast random draws from the distribution. My R code was running quite slow so I decided to give Rcpp a bash. I had used it before but only for extremely basic stuff and always using inline. This time I decided to give making a proper package a go.

Currently I only have one machine backing up to another. I am backing up to a filesystem that is mounted as nosuid. The syncing process works perfectly except it fails on files that are suid. Example proc/ root/ tmp/ mknod tmp/mysql.sock : Invalid argument mknod tmp/orbit-daud/orb-12573780511489051058 : Invalid argument mknod tmp/orbit-daud/orb-139425434385535813 : Invalid argument mknod

Also I want to know how to pass argument to

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

Are there issues between different versions of rsync? Specifically I have a 2.4.6 on solaris 8 pushing to a 2.3.0 on solaris 2.6 over ssh(F-Secure version). The issue that I am seeing is that when I use the following command: rsync --delete -rlvp -e ssh2 $localdir user@host:remotedir The user and group are different on both boxes(neither being root). Any help would be appreciated. --Jeff

I tried to debug it a little bit, but I am unable to figure out what's wrong. 337:david@u050 /export/treeA> rsync -r -vvv --port 9876 u018::treeA opening tcp
