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, I am getting the following error when I try to rsync using ssh on a Redhat 7.2 box of another RedHat 7.2 box. I am running a OpenSSH_3.5p1 and rsync version 2.5.6. One clue is, it works fine if i do it as root!!! Could be permission issues, but on what? I have checked permissions on all the relevant config. files as well as files/directories involved. Any ideas/tips would be greatly

Hi all, I am very new to the rsync world (as well as the linux world) and have some really basic doubts. Please bear with me. I installed RH 9 on two systems in the same network and Rsync 2.5.5 was automatically installed with it. When I executed the command “rsync –avz test.txt /backupdir/ ”, it backed up the file test.txt into backupdir/test.txt. But when I tried the command “rsync

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

Hi all, I know this subject is extensively discussed on the mail list but I did not get the solution yet.. I have a server running RedHat Linux 7.2 (2 CPU, 4 Gb RAM) and 6 client machines running RedHat linux 7.1 ( 1 cpu(2Ghz),512 Mb RAM ). I am backing up the client machine every 15 minutes since these machines generates important data. I am using rsync as a cron job on the server to backup

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..

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

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

Hello, rsync.h is always including the syslog.h file, even though it is only used when the LOG_DAEMON macro is defined. Could someone change it to be as follows: #ifdef LOG_DAEMON #include <syslog.h> #endif OpenVMS currently does not have a syslog facility, so it does not have a syslog.h.

Hi, I would like to log whatever happens with rsync on client side when it runs with Cygwin on NT4. First, I just did a redirect of the screen output to a log-file: rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/ bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\%FDATE%.log The problem with this method is that it does not redirect whatever Rsync reports as errors; because they

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

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

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:
