similar to: Inadequate error checking in rsync 2.5.5

In short: Platform: linux with 2.4 kernel Version: rsync 2.6.6 Command line: rsync266 -av -W --bwlimit=1 /mnt/somedir/rsync-2.6.6.tar.gz ./ Destination: local disk Source: file on a smbfs mounted filesystem; share is exported on a NT 4.0 workstation over a very slow and unstable link Result: Rsync completes operation with no special message, but the resulting file is damaged, large

We've just been hit rather badly by a very nasty bug that can cause rsync to silently discard files or fill them with zeroes. It happens when e.g. opendir() succeeds but readdir() returns an error; rsync does not check for an error from readdir() and so simply ignores the error (along with any remaining files in the directory). No error is reported to the user, who will then happily

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

smbclient (and smbtar) in version 2.2.7a (and prior) has problems with large files (> 4GB). The following patch (against 2.2.7a) fixes all known problems with this. This code has been checked into the CVS tree in all branches as well. -- ====================================================================== Herb Lewis Silicon Graphics Networking Engineer

hi everybody, we have problems using wincvs with a cvsroot on a samba-server. we think that the problem is the renaming of files where the cvs user does not have write-permisson on: this is our configuration: fileserver on a irix6.5 running samba 1.9.18p8 having a share on / named 'coder'. win95 box, running wincvs, setting cvsroot something like

Hello, after upgrade from CentOS 5 to 5.1 I see the following error in /var/log/messages: 'rpc.idmapd[2330]: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory' The directory exists with the permissions dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 7 10:21 nfs So is this an owner/permisson problem? Should /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs be owned by rpcuser? # ls -al /var/lib/nfs/ total

Samba version : 3.6.3 Filesystem : BTRFS Clients : XP, Win7 Log Level : 5 When we start our samba server everything works fine. After a few days, some of our users are not allowed to connect to shares anymore. When we restart the clients they can connect for a short time and then say have the same problem again. When we restart the server everything works fine for a few days again.

All, similar to some mail threads found in this forum and some other xen-related threads, I had problems with the network performance of my test system: * software base of dom0/domU: RHEL5 (Xen 3.0.3, Redhat 2.6.18-8el5xen SMP kernel) * ibm x306 servers with 3Ghz P4 /MT support; coupled via Gigabit Ethernet switch * standard xen bridging network configuration * test tool: iperf * Xen

i have: "SERVER A" "SERVER B" with "full root permisson" [ssh, etc] each server has a folder. i want to backup a folder in "SERVER A". are there any backup methods, that meets these two requirements? : 1) running from e.g.: a cronjob 2) when running, it just checks the folder in "SERVER A" and "SERVER B". if a file/folder has been

Package: xenstore-utils Version: 4.0.1-2 all it says is: "Description: Xenstore utilities for Xen This package contains the Xenstore utilities." Wow, i never would have guessed that a package called xenstore-utils might contain Xenstore utilities. I'm glad that's cleared up! that just leaves a few tiny, niggling questions: 1. WTF are the Xenstore utilities? 2. What are

R versions 2.1.0 to present. Examples shown were computed under Windows R-devel, current SVN, but ix86 Linux shows similar behaviour (sometimes NaN or -Inf rather than Inf, depending on the compiler and optimization level used). The replacement pgamma algorithm used from R 2.1.0 has an inadequate design and no supporting documentation whatsoever. There is no reference given to support the

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal When a DomU is defined as using a file: device the loopback driver will be used to make it appear to be a regular block device. The loopback driver will by default only support 8 nodes so this is a limited resource. http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/10/22/kernel-issues-with-debian-xen-and-centos-kernels/ If there is a problem that prevents

Hi gurus, I like zpool iostat and I like system monitoring, so I setup a script within sma to let me get the zpool iostat figures through snmp. The problem is that as zpool iostat is only run once for each snmp query, it always reports a static set of figures, like so: root at exodus:snmp # zpool iostat -v capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read

Currently you can only turn on miniexpect debugging by recompiling. These two patches make it configurable at runtime, and also improve the usefulness of the output. Rich.

Hi all, I''ve got alpha versions of nread and nwrite now added to the win32-file class in CVS. They seem to work fine, although I''ve noticed one bug in the File#read method. Let''s say we have a text file with "hello world" in it. If I call nread with no arguments, it works fine: fh = File.nopen("C:\\test.txt") p fh.nread -> "hello

Hi, I have a share "dev". This share should be readable by all domain users. Beneath this share, there is a folder "source " which should only accessibly by developers. This folder has unix permissions set to 770 (recursive) , owner is user "build" and group is "develop". Share setup is: [dev] comment = Dev path = /export/dev

Hi all, So far, so good. Things seem to work just fine and, in the case of nread, I am getting incredible performance. I can''t tell if this is due to some kind of caching, however. Anyway, there a couple of things I want to work out yet. The first is File#nread and Really Big Files. I created a 500 mb text file and sucked it into memory using Ruby''s File#read method just
