similar to: [patch] replace dir with file error

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 5) * Fixed silly logic error. (rev 4) * Updated for committed robust_rename() patch, other changes in CVS. (rev 3) * Don't link empty

Hello, here is a preliminary patch allowing rsync 2.5.6 to compile in BeOS (using the new BONE networking stack). Some explanations: - BeOS doesn't have chroot(), - the BONE networking stack export legacy network function for old apps in libnet.so (linked to by default), so it's necessary to force linking to the new libraries for things to work. I've yet to get inet_ntop() to be

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

Anyone have an example of an MD4 collision so I can test that case? :) Patch Summary: -1 +1 Makefile.in -0 +304 hashlink.c (new)

Hi, I have written a 'smallish' patch to implement the --inplace option as discussed on this mailing list at various points in the past. It makes a small modification to the sender algorithm so that it won't ask the receiver to relocate blocks from earlier in the file when running with the --inplace option. I would appreciate any testing and feedback people can provide! I

This mode is useful when a process is monitoring the log for post-processing of transferred files. With --log-after in local mode, both sender and receiver log to the same log file, so it require --log-file with absolute path. We add %o to the default log format, so it will be easy to tell the logs of the sender from the logs of the receiver: 2023/02/14 14:40:25 [559755] building file list

Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

Some background: I have been assigned a task to implement one-way synchronization of a large file storage to another box. The problem is that on the target box a special directory has to be maintained in which symlinks to received files should be created using special logic. After some experimentation I have set up a named pipe which is used by the receiving rsync daemon for transfer logging;

hi. return value of close() (receiver.c) is ignored. when running out of quota on NFS (for example), this can happen (without the patch): output file(s) is/are truncated to 0 bytes and rsync reports success. with the fix, this happens: close "/home/luser/.test.mp3.PwaG50": Disc quota exceeded rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(464) ... ...and additionally, test.mp3

Hi all. I have just finished a small patch that adds support for multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest args. Its primary usage is to do incremental backups on top of eachother. (My current backup system stores each incremental as a single diff of the latest full.) Example: First full backup: rsync -a somedir full-20040415/ First incremental: rsync -a --compare-dest=../full-20040415 \

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

The following code in receiver.c around line 421 (2.5.6pre1) contains some dead code: /* we initially set the perms without the setuid/setgid bits to ensure that there is no race condition. They are then correctly updated after the lchown. Thanks to snabb@epipe.fi for pointing this out. We also set it initially without group access

Recently various needs for multiple version handling were discussed and I put forward a plan of mine. Subsequently the proposal for a --compare-file=<FILE> switch had support, so I have implemented this. I have also implemented an experimental --compare-auto which decides which file to match against using a rule. Instructions for patch: 1. Install rsync-2.5.6 source 2. "patch -p1
