Hi all. I have a script which I call from cron. It basically does some stopping of a few services, rsyncs all files to a remote server and then starts the services again. However, rsync segfaults: /share/bin/cron.root.backup.sh: line 28: 18453 Segmentation fault rsync -acx --delete ${_backup_dirs} backup-server::backup-client If I run rsync from the command-line everything works as

Hi All, I had a look in archives but no joy. I just want to know before i deploy - if there is any problem with having multiple rsync sessions from many source locations all to same destination server ( all copying to different file systems obviously ) ?? Its jusat that i see on the destination machine a process rsync -server being called whenever a client connects. Thanks ! Laurence

I'm running rsync version 2.5.4 protocol version 26 on redhat 7.3. My rsync command is this: rsync -vvplpotrRn --progress --password-file=/root/rsync_password /*.* root@192.168.0.254::/home2/600xbackup I get this error when I run it: ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a / rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(885) I want to backup my

I am using rsync between to Solaris machines. One has rsync under the /usr/local/bin/rsync location and the other under /opt/rsync. Is there a way for me to issue the rsync command from the "source" machine and tell it as part of the command where rsync is on the target? If not, does this mean that in order to perform the sync between two systems that I need to have a 1:1 relationship

Hello, I'm quite new to rsync, and after reading and checking some examples I still have a question regarding synchronization: What arguments should I use if I want to synchronize two folders? I need to make sure that after synchronization, contents on each side are the same. If I have new files in folder #2, these aren't copied to folder #1 after the process. It only passes files

Hi, Can anyone send me an example config file that makes use of ignore nonreadable timeout 600 When I try to put this in a module - rsync seems happy but it gets nasty logfile messages when a client connects to the server.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wish to use rsync to synchronize a whole fat32 (MSWindows) partition mounted into a linux system. I run rsync from linux. The problem is rsync synchronizes most of the data even if the data hasn't changed since the original image was made. I used the -avz parameters to do the backup and the same for restoration. Also I've tried just -rvz. It

I'm trying to do a two-way rsync and it works ok for creating and updating files but file deletions are flawed. The only way to sync the fact that a file was deleted is to use the -delete option, but this poses a problem. If Server A has file 'foo' and Server B does not. Will rsync think that 'foo' is new and copy it to Server B? Or will it think that 'foo' is old and

Tim, I reported a protocol data stream error on 9/8/2002 Deatils are in my postes at that time rsync still fails everytime I run it. This time I added three v's as you just suggested and rsync just hung with two tasks in execution thus: root 3178 0.1 0.9 1796 868 pts/1 S 09:57 0:00 /usr/bin/rsync -vvva --delete --exclude=root/snapsh root 3179 0.0 0.6 1628 632 pts/1

I am evaluating rsync for the mirroring of a website and associated database. To exercise it and establish the correct run string I need I am running tests LOCALLY between two test directories. I have a /scratch/temp/Departure and a /scratch/temp/Arrival trees. I apply changes to the Departure tree, run rsync, and do a diff -r. Now I delete a file in Departure rm Departure/Quattro/uno.file

Hi, I know those questions have been asked before but that was more than an year ago. I'm hoping the situation has evolved now. I'd like to use rsync as a backup tool to move around some data. I often have to move hundreds of GB, and that takes some time. I'd like to use rsync so that if something happens, I can restart the migration without loosing what has already been

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

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

Hello, I am trying to use rsync (version 2.5.5) in a server client model to distribute software files. When I kick off the rsync client on an AIX 4.3.3 pwr3 platform, I get the following error message. We are in a real bind to get this protocol going; any help/insight/suggestions would be "greatly" appreciated. rsync: getaddrinfo: grp4c 873: Host not found rsync error: error in

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

Yes, I've read the FAQ, just hoping for a boon... I'm in the process of relocating a large amount of data from one nfs server to another (Network Appliance filers). The process I've been using is to nfs mount both source and destination to a server (solaris8) and simply use rsync -a /source/ /dest . It works great except for the few that have > 10 million files. On these I get

Sonu: I'm giving the whole history to the rsync list. If the tests i subscribed passed, yet you get that error, it's more in depth than i can go into. You've got 1 hour, let's hope somebody immediately recognizes the problem. I've got some ideas, but no time to explore any more for you. Gentlemen: does anybody see a quick resolution for Sonu? Looks like he's
