Hello, Can someone tell me what the problem is here. I am doing an rsync on a sendmail spool directory to a folder that is a samba mount. Why is rsync trying to change owner? Does it have to? I tried manually changing owner (as root) on a file that is sitting on the samba mount and I got the same operation not permitted error. Does anybody know why this is? Or do I need to ask in a samba

Hi, when syncing from windows NT/cygwin to linux usimg rsync 2.5.2 I get the following error: readlink pagefile.sys: Permission denied IO error encountered - skipping file deletion pagefile.sys is however in the exclude-list, so I think rsync shouldn't care that it can't stat the file. The code fragment responsible is if (readlink_stat(fname, &st, linkbuf) != 0) {

How can i open a virtual disk in read-write mode ? # guestmount --rw -d winxp -m /dev/sda1 /media/ # rm -f /media/pagefile.sys rm: cannot remove ?/media/pagefile.sys?: Operation not permitted # cd /media && touch file touch: cannot touch ?file?: Permission denied # cd && fusermount -u /media I've tried with guestfish also.

I am using the following command and the excluded directory /usr/share/doc/ still appears with all it's contents in the backup directory when it's contents should be deleted. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? rsync --delete --delete-excluded -a -R --exclude="/proc/*" --exclude="/dev/*" --exclude="/usr/share/doc/*" --exclude="/backup*"

Hello, samba-users, I am using Amanda to backup WinNT-shares. Amanda uses smbclient to generate smbtar-archives which it then writes to tape. As you all know there are various files on Windows-system-partitions that don?t need to be on backup. For example stuff like pagefile.sys System Volume Information hiberfil.sys and the registry files. So there is a need to exclude files from getting

In order to run some performance tests on optimization tools, I want to be able to avoid the use of swap memory. In *nix systems, at least Linux ones, I can issue a 'sudo swapoff -a' command and use just the RAM available. If I don't do this, at some point swap will be used, the disk goes ballistic and the machine is unresponsive because it is thrashing data to the swap. I

Dear Developers: I have a question about memory management in R 2.2.1 and am wondering if you would be kind enough to help me understand what is going on. (It has been a few years since I have done software development on Windows, so I apologize in advance if these are easy questions.) ------------- MY SYSTEM ------------- I am currently using R (version 2.2.1) on a PC running Windows 2000

Hi, I have just installed Samba 2.0.6 and noticed that the "pagefile.sys" smbmount bug still exists: When unsing smbmount to mount an NT4 volume, and doing an "ls" on the mounted directory, I get: # ls /mnt ls: pagefile.sys: Permission denied . IO.SYS SRVMGR.EXE ffastun.ffa summary.dat .. KBROWSER

Hello, In our office we would like to do something like "memory overcommitment" or rather "dynamic allocation" for a bunch of windows domUs (server 2003 & 2008). We thought this should be a simple feature, however we did not find any fitting solution. We use Xen 4.2.1 with xl toolstack. The idea is to use ballooning to dynamically (and automatically) change physical

Hi all, I'm searching for a way to exclude outliers from my dataset while making xyplots.

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under. So my include-from file looks like: + Test2/* - /* This doesn't work as nothing is synced, and if I do a -vv it tells me that nothing is being

Is it possible to use rsync to mirror a group of files, deleteing most files from the mirror when they disappear from the source, but not deleting a certain set of files that match a pattern if they disappear from the source? Thanks. Greg Brauer greg@wildbrain.com

Hi, I've got a problem reading certain files from NT workstation 4 shares. The main problem seems to be pagefile.sys, but it sometimes happens with registry files as well. What happens is, that the 'pagefile.sys' NT swap files cannot be accessed. Any attempt at using ls on it or anything else fails. For example: # ls pagefile.sys /bin/ls: pagefile.sys: Text file busy The file is

Hello All - I've been struggling to figure out whether this is possible, and starting to think it isn't. What I'm trying to do is add all directories to be backed up (source) in the include file and not mention any source directories on the actual command line. For example I've tried something like the following with no luck: rsync 10.0.100.254: /backup/

I'm setting rsync up for the first time and would prefer to have the exclude file defined in the conf file, but the exclusions aren't honoured when I define the parameter in rsyncd.conf - although they are when I specify the file in an argument. The server is the remote system and both rsyncd.conf and the exclude file are the same on both local and remote systems. I'm attaching the
