rsync processes hang and client failing on "max connections", I can't kill rsync process. The temporary work around are: increase max connections in /etc/rsyncd.conf or reboot the server ! The client get this error: @ERROR: max connections (6) reached - try again later $ ps -aux | grep rsync admin 30408 0.0 0.0 1696 232 ? S Mar26 0:00 [rsync] admin 28121 0.0

I'm trying to figure out how to cause rsync to create the file on the backup server with 700 permission and specific owner "some_user" (not root) I try to do it in several way with no success. The command I'm using is: rsync -r -t -v -z /dir some_user@server::module so that it don't copy permission It always give the files 744 permission, that mean that every on can read

Has anyone noticed that the --bwlimit doesn't really work? I have MRTG stats happening, and on a 128Kbps circuit, an rsync with the following syntax takes up the whole line. $ rsync -avz -e ssh localfiles.tar.gz user@remote:/path/to/file/arch Any ideas? It's on an OpenBSD box going to a FreeBSD box. Both are 2.4.6. -#0

I have used rsync on many systems, and never had a problem. I am stumped on what to do with this. I have a box behind a LinkSys router and I can not "push" or "pull" data to or from it from anywhere. When I try, it logs into the remote server, gets the file list and just stops. The remote server shows a process running until I control-c out of it.when I do that, I get: rsync

Hello Everyone: I've been trying to get rsync using --bwlimit using openssh for transport without success. Here's what I get: % rsync --bwlimit=20 from.com:/dir/file.txt /dest user@from.com's password: **** rsync: unrecognized option `--bwlimit=20' unexpected EOF in read_timeout I tried specifying ssh transport using both the -e option and by setting the RSYNC_RSH

Hi all, I was wondering if it will require any major rewrites of the daemon/client to include limits on the data transfer rate ? Alexei.

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

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. I searched to find anything about this problem but so far without any luck. Source machine : Solaris 8, rsync-2.4.6 Destination machine : FreeBSD 4.1.1, rsync 2.4.6 Command run(from source machine): rsync

Is it true that when running rsync via ssh (i.e. rsync -e ssh ...) the rsyncd.conf file is not applicable on the remote since rsync is launched via the ssh exec call once connected rather than from rsyncd as in a direct connect. If so, I am trying to find the best way to restrict rsync -e ssh on the remote machine. Prepending the authorized_keys entry with command='rsync ...' 1024...

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

When rsync starts I get the following messages in my log file Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync: bind failed on port 873 Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(361) Anybody know what might be causing this? David

All, Could someone please help me resolve this: [admx:test] $ ls ERR01 ah01 ah02 an01 an02 mp01 mp02 [admx:test] $ ls {an,mp,ERR}* ERR01 an01 an02 mp01 mp02 I want to rsync only the "{an,mp,ERR}*" files across using the following command but do not see the expected results.

Howdey, I was trying to find out if it is possible to have RSYNC only give me the transfer stats that it normally gives at the end of a transfer when using the -v switch. BUT I do not what to have the long list of files that are accompanied with it. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Bob. Here is my current rsync script line. /usr/local/lib/rsync/bin/rsync -azR --delete

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?

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt

Sir, How to run the rsync server in the remote machine. I want to mirror the set of directories from one machine to another machine which are in the network. I used the following command : /usr/sbin/rsync -vv --delete --recursive --times --perms --update source directory destinationmachine:destination directory. I got the error: Permission denied. How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

I'm running rsync via ssh on two machines connected with 100 Mbit/s Ethernet cards (at high speed) via a Linksys switch. It's all right here in a single closet. I'm sending large files (initial transfer, nothing preexists on the destination machine) and seeing transfer rates in the 2 Mbit/s range. The CPUs on both machines are more than 90% idle, and I upped the --block-size to 256

I?m trying to rsync a 210 GB Filesystem with approx 1.500.000 Files. Rsync always dies after about 29 GB without any error messages. I?m Using rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26. Has anyone an idea ? Thank?s Clemens

Hi all, I have started the rsync in deamon mode. When I use the following command: rsync --port 9876 u018::treeA it seems to work fine but no files are copied from the server. Using rsync without the deamon works fine. 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

Hi, I have a rsync server set up.
