In some filesystems, typically optimized for large I/O throughputs (like IBM GPFS, IBM SAN FS, or distributed filesystems in general) a lot of lseek() operations can strongly impact on performances. In this cases it can be helpful to enlarge the block size used to handle sparse files directly from a command line parameter. For example, using a sparse write size of 32KB, I've been able to

Attached is a patch that makes window strides constant when files are walked with a constant block size. In these cases, it completely avoids all memmoves. In my simple local test of rsyncing 57MB of 10 local files, memmoved bytes went from 18MB to zero. I haven't tested this for a big variety of file cases. I think that this will always reduce the memmoves involved with walking a large

Hi all, i am working on an networking product which has a 32 MB flash memory and a 64MB RAM. i need to sync a file named appl.gz which is of size 3.1MB from a unit with ip 192.168.10.1 to a unit with ip 192.168.10.2. the rsync is called from a C code which does a fork-execve operation. the command line options being passed to rsync is as below: command: rsync --stats -aI --temp-dir=/tmp/

I've been studying the read and write buffering in rsync and it turns out most I/O is done just a couple of bytes at a time. This means there are lots of system calls, and also most network traffic comprises lots of small packets. The behavior is most extreme when sending/receiving file deltas of identical files. The main case where I/O is buffered is writes from the server (when io

Hi, In fileio.c, function write_sparse() there is a bug that can lead to corrupt copies if the write() call only completes partially. for (l1 = 0; l1 < len && buf[l1] == 0; l1++) {} for (l2 = 0; l2 < len-l1 && buf[len-(l2+1)] == 0; l2++) {} sparse_seek += l1; if (l1 == len) return len; if (sparse_seek)

Hello. Recently, I started using rsync to backup files in my root partition on an Ensim box over to a remote machine. The remote machine 'pulls' from the Ensim box using the following: rsync -arvzx --exclude=/proc --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/mnt --delete --delete-excluded -e ssh 192.168.0.1:/ /bkup/rootpart/ The problem is, if I 'df' the Ensim box, it reports that the entire

Since the heap statistics were added, I have viewed thousands of rsync reports (with --verbose and --stats), and not once have I had a need for them. So for me, they're just noise. Here is a 3-part patch to v2.5.6 that treats --stats in a similar fashion to --verbose in that additional --stats will get you more statistics. For this initial case, there's only one additional level of

There is a new patch named "delete-during.diff" in the CVS "patches" dir. This patch adds the ability for rsync to incrementally delete files in each directory during the normal course of the transfer rather than doing a separate delete scan either before or after the transfer. The patch renames the current --delete option into --delete-before and makes --delete behave in the

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.

Hi, sorry if this is old stuff, but I did my best to look first... Have been getting errors along these lines: mv mydir mdir.2002 ln -s mydir.2002 mydir Then update mirror with rsync -av --delete-after. Without --delete-after, no problem, with --delete-after, get a code 23. The attached shell script will recreate the error (on my machine, at any rate). Just run it from a clean directory.

[I sent this the other day, but it never got approved for the list] I've been having problems trying to sync two small partitions (128MB) that are usually near being full. The rsync would fail with this cryptic error: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes: phase "unknown": Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515) It ends up

So I'm doing daily backups with rsync, and weekly, I run it with --delete after archiving the whole thing (this way I don't lose any deleted files). All week long this runs fine, but when I add --delete, rsync runs for a few hours then aborts because the box runs out of memory.

As another poster pointed out recently, it's been a long time since 2.5.6 was released (Jan 28 2003). Many recent replies to questions posted to this list are variants of "It's already fixed in CVS".

OK, I will do that next. I just tried 2.6.1 on both ends, and it died in a similar fashion. -------Original Message------- > From: Wayne Davison <wayned@samba.org> > Subject: Re: rsync 2.6.2 crash > Sent: 24 Sep 2004 11:21:51 > > On Fri, Sep 24, 2004 at 11:09:26AM -0700, jim wrote: > > The server crashed, but left rsync.exe.stackdump: >
