similar to: equivalence of gzipped and non-gzipped files?

Greetings, We have encountered an odd performance issue in rsync (running version 2.4.6). We have an rsync server set up in our production environment (at a colo facility). A backup machine in our office (which is connected to the colo by a 3Mbit pipe) is doing a rsync -a -v -z --delete on a directory. If the first few files in the directory are already gzip'd then we don't get any

I'm having troubles with getting rsync 2.5.5 (CYGWIN version) to include/exclude files they way I expect it to. I have mulled over the list postings and man pages regarding this and I am either missing something or ... well I don' know. I have a drive with 12 folders in the root however, I only want to rsync 5 of them (the ones marked with an *) and in those 4 I want to exclude certain

Hi, I tried performing a complete copy of 17GB of filesystems over the WAN (0.8GB/hr) with the speed of 16Mbps. The filesystem consists of several large g-zipped files. These large g-zipped files have actually been zipped out of other sub-filesystems and directories. I noticed that while transferring a lists of large g-zipped files, rsync tends to take a much longer time to transfer those files

After my wonderful experience with febootstrap and and gzipped kernel modules I just wanted to post a little information about it. febootstrap uses insmod, it seems because insmod is required for building the initrd, while modprobe can read in gzipped kernel modules, insmod cannot. This means that there are two solutions to the problem, one would be to make febootstrap copy all of the modules to

Hi, Some days ago, I have used the maildir-size-fix.pl script (cited in this mail thread: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087942.html, in available here: http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl). This is a very good script and helped me a lot! However, some compressed mails where misdetected as non-compressed mail. So I discovered that some versions of the file command

Package: xen-docs-3.0 Version: 3.0.3-0-2 The PDF's are gzipped. As there is no PDF reader that can open such files, the process to get to read the docs is quite complicated. I doubt this package is useful that way. Then it's faster to lookup the docs on the net. To make it useful, please don't zip the files. Henning

Thanks for looking at this, and developing rsync. Really useful program that I rely on. Bit of a newbie but I couldn't find anything on this in these archives. Hopefully it's a really stupid question! I'm trying to backup using cp -al and then rsync -auR --delete backup idea basically as per http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental. I have a separate

Hi, I have been testing dovecot on my own machine before a bigger deployment. Basically I have all my mbox mailboxes in ~/Mail, delivered by procmail. Some mbox's are gzipped because they are archives which I can grep into, but do not want to look at often. When I first launched an IMAP client, dovecot created the indexes (I think) and gave several errors when finding a gzipped file, such

I attempted an upgrade from 1.1.7 to 1.1.15 and encountered an apparent regression in handling gzipped maildir files. I have tried to narrow down the conditions under which it happens and reproduce it with as simple a case as possible. The actual mail application that exposed this problem is Squirrelmail. Starting off with the index files removed from the "Folder" maildir directory: *

I don't have any guests with PAGE_SIZE > 64k but the code seems to be clearly broken in that case as PAGE_SIZE / MERGEABLE_BUFFER_ALIGN will need more than 8 bit and so the code in mergeable_ctx_to_buf_address does not give us the actual true size.

Dear JW, I spent hours checking and upgrading my hardware. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a 'mature' Pentium-II 400MHz system that has been running my servers WITHOUT ANY CRASHES for nearly 2 years now 24/7 Listen to me: "The crashes are dues to rsync" There is an IDENTICAL report from a totally different source at

Hi all, I want to copy files from a remote server to a local directory with ssh. I've some difficulties with that because on the Remoteserver I have a directory "/www/ftp" with a lot of subdirectories with each of them 4 other subdirectories. I want to sync only */data/* to the local machine without */images/* or */doc/* or */movies/* Any solution would be appreciated. regardsMac

Can someone tell me what has to happen to get the aliases working in samba? Below is an earlier posting. Thanks!! Does anyone have aliases working correctly? Suppose I am moving the samba to one server to another, say VIPER > to JOKER. > > In smb.conf I change the 'netbios name = VIPER' to JOKER > and I also want the old name to be seen as well. To do this > I create

Hi All, I've got two APC SmartUPS's that behave differently with nut, I have a SmartUPS1400 & a SmartUPS1250. I'm fairly sure this isn't a nut problem but more likely a problem with the age of the SmartUPS1250 and the apcsmart driver not being able to identify it. Under the APC Powerchute software the same monitoring & command parameters are available for both

Commit ab7db91705e9 ("virtio-net: auto-tune mergeable rx buffer size for improved performance") introduced a virtio-net dependency on EWMA. The inclusion of EWMA is controlled by CONFIG_AVERAGE. Fix build error when CONFIG_AVERAGE is not enabled by adding select AVERAGE to virtio-net's Kconfig entry. Build failure reported using config make ARCH=s390 defconfig. Signed-off-by:

I've got a patch that changes f_name_to() to return an unsigned int (like snprintf() and strlcpy() do) and adds checking to ensure that we didn't overflow the name before we try to use it: http://www.blorf.net/name-overflow.patch If anyone would care to check out the following patch before I commit it, please do. ..wayne..
