similar to: rsync on aix fails on large files bigger than 2gb

rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected. Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to

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

Hello, I'm facing a problem syncing files which is over 2GB size, eventhough i searched the archives and it been mentioned its possible if largefiles option is enabled, but still its giving me problems. i.e: building file list ... readlink dir1/oracle_data1.tar: Value too large for defined data type readlink dir1/oracle_data2.tar: Value too large for defined data type readlink

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

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, I have a Maildir store (about 500 GB) on a linux (redhat 8) server which I am trying to mirror to another identical server. I have 4 GB of ram on both machines. I am using rsync 2.5.5. At present the machines are on the same lan (100Mbit). Everytime I run the rsync, it runs for a short amount of time, (anywhere from 5-20 minutes) and then one of the machines (either the source or the

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:

Rsync Ver: 2.5.5 OS: HPUX-11 Hello List, I'm using rsync with ssh with this command line: rsync -avz -e ssh some_file user-b@hostname-b:/home/user-b Which does work, however I get the following error output: rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at main.c(578) Since the file does transfer, is the error output just some sort of bug? I looked in the maillist archives, and I found

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, I tried performing a complete copy of 17GB of filesystems over the WAN (0.8GB/hr) with the speed of 16Mbps. The filesystem consists of several large g-zipped files. These large g-zipped files have actually been zipped out of other sub-filesystems and directories. I noticed that while transferring a lists of large g-zipped files, rsync tends to take a much longer time to transfer those files

I have discovered that rsync 2.5.6 uses the mkstemp() routine wich do not have a 64bits version into the AIX libc. A very simple workaround to the big files writing rsync pb. is to not use this routine that create files w/ mkstemp() by modifying the "syscall.c" source file at line 154 as following : #if defined(HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP) && defined(HAVE_FCHMOD) become #if

Under Aix directories have the mode 024xxxx instead of the customary 04xxxx. Because of this when you sync a directory to or from an Aix system it's never up to date. Here is a patch which fixes this. It causes rsync to look at only the bits that chmod actually influences, 07777, when deciding whether or not the modes differ. I was surprised there wasn't an existing constant for 07777,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hy folks, everybody knows, that rsync eats up a lot of memory, when rsyncing a lot of files. To avoid this i run rsync on different parts of the directory-tree (e.g. first ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir1 then ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir2 and so on) and it works fine for me. So i tried to do this in a automatical way (e.g perl/shell/whatever

I am using rsync 2.5.5 running as a daemon on the destination system, which is SuSE Linux 8.0. The source system is SuSE 7.3, also with rsync 2.5.5. With the default 'use chroot = true' and not using --numeric-ids, I get the wrong user names on the destination files. I have tracked this down to getpwnam() failing to return the user name from the passwd file. It does not fail when

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
