Hi there, I use rsync over ssh to syncronise various directories between a windows machine and a linux box. Now I want to sync files between two linux boxes. Because the I want to do that as a cron job I need rsa key authentification. I have a user called test on both machines. On both pc I also run "ssh-keygen -t rsa1" and enter no passphrase. I copied the identity.pub file from the

During my initial download for my home directory backup, it took rsync over 6 hours to do the initial backup, but I can FTP the stuff in about 30 Mins. Is Rsync usualy this slow? I have compression turned on, and its across a 100 MB/S network, Anyone had this problem before? Steve Sills

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

Hi all, I've installed rsync-2.5.6 on a sun box (solaris 8). When I run rsync using the command rsync -a ssh /opt/local/pkgs/httpd/htdocs/ root@remotemachine:/mnt/ I get the error rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) What could be the reason? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rajesh.

Hello, I just posted this a few days back and my email got totally messed up so I don't know for sure if there was any reply yet to this. If there was I would be glad if someone just could forward that to me. Thank you in advance, Stephan Hello, I downloaded that win version of rsync and I have a small question: How can I do one of the following: 1.) Add multiple syncronisation

hi guys Environment 2 servers (SunOS 5.8) rsync 2.5.6 Problem For a disaster recovery solution, we are running trying to synchornize interwoven backup stores between these 2 environments (server A and server B) The rsync operation is initiated over the network using 'rsh'. Once initiated from server A the rsync operation freezes with no indication. When the debug flag is enabled we get

I have downloaded the source for rsync 2.5.6 and compiled it without adjusting any options, no problems. Performed a test copy of a file GT 2 GB and it failed. In the file configure I changed the line to "--enable-largefile", removed all the .o files, performed a ./configure, gmake, gmake install. Tried the test copy and again received the following error message: rsync:

Hi, In http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html, I noted that the often-observed hangs of rsync under Cygwin were assuaged by a call to msleep(). After upgrading my Cygwin environment to rsync 2.5.6, I'm seeing these hangs again, not surprisingly given a CVS entry for main.c notes that this kludge was not harmless: Revision 1.162 / (download) - annotate - [select for

Hi, I have 2 ftp servers with 3 identical users. I want server B to be updated of server A. Whatever changes mmade by users on server A should be made on server B say every 5 hours. Is rsync the right tool to use here? Can rsync be used such that only changed files are downloaded? Thanks a lot and bye.

Hi all, We are currently looking at a solution for backing up files on laptops to a server in a small office (10 users). I was looking at rsync as a solution. Here is my suggested solution: Install rsync on network server - this is Windows 2000 :-( Share the root of C:\ on laptops Schedule rsync to periodically mount to laptops share ove SMB (if they can be found) and running an incremental

Hi, What are the limits to file size and file count when doing a rsync transfer using 2.5.6? I was trying to rsync about 500 GB of data with many files and many directories, but it has been stuck building the file list for several hours. First of all, is it possible to transfer 500 GB of data? Secondly, what would the limit for file count be when doing a rsync transfer? Any comments or help

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

I have hinted in the past of wanting to go to a more selective control of the output of rsync. Here it is. PROBLEMS with the existing --verbose et al. The simple incrementing verbose doesn't allow one to restrict stdout to what actually is of interest. For instance inside dirvish i don't care about directories, or any kind of non-regular file because they show up every time even if

Thought my troubles were fixed, but files disappeared again and reappeared after a few dozen rsync cycles. I am mapping a Win2K directory to Linux with Samba. That mounted directory is then Rsynced to another Linux box on a schedule (Linux to Linux, because I can't run rsync on the windows machine). For some unknown reason, several thousand files are periodically (after several days) deleted

Hi, My name is Vu Huynh. I'm currently work for Atmel Corporation. We're using Rsync v2.5.7 to rsync design kits between our remote sites. It works fine for all small kit directories. However, there is 1 BIG kit directory (But there is no file has the size of bigger than 100MB) that always gets "rsync: connection unexpectedly closed" Error. The Full Error Message

Hi, We downloaded the latest rsync 2.5.6 source code and compiled it on HP-UX for both 10.20 and 11.x. Rsync runs fine if we run it from the command line on both platforms. But after we put rsync command into a HP Software Distributor package configure script (just a shell script with rsync command in it) and run swinstall, which will get installation bits including the configure script, put the

I was wondering if it might be possible for an rsync developer to look over the attached patch (tested on Linux 2.4.24 against the rsync-2.6.0 release), and offer suggestions on how I could improve it. Basically I want to use Linux finer grained capabilities to retain only CAP_SYS_CHROOT & CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH when rsync drops root privs. That way I can take whole system backups as a (mostly)

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
