similar to: Looking for atime reset...

Often we need to preserve the information atime conveys, but I have found no way to get rsync to preserve this, nor any hint it is being worked on. It would be great if 'rsync -t' also set atime not just mtime -- or maybe a new option is desired for atime. I don't know if the -X mentioned in "NEWS file from CVS" covers this: > Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver

Hello I am making backup of a Plesk Debian server to /backup using Rsync. My questioin is how can I preserve the ctime, mtime, and atime of original files? Thanks

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

Hi Everyone, The following feature request was received by a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, but perhaps should be enabled only conditionally (as if the argument parser isn't stressed enough).

It looks like I need to elaborate further to get a feedback. I checked the rsync source code and it is using utime() to restore atime file attribute. It is fine to change ctime for that transferred file in this case. What we are having problem is that when rsync gets kicked off and transfers one file to the destination, this action changes ctime of "all" files in the same

Hello, since we are using rsync for backing up millions of files in a virtual environment, and most of the virtual machines run on SSD cached storage, i`d be curious how that negatively impacts lifetime of the SSD`s when we do rsync run every night for backup my question: does rsync normal file comparison run to determine if anything has changed change atime of any files ? for me it seems,

We should call ocfs2_inode_lock_atime instead of ocfs2_inode_lock in ocfs2_file_splice_read like we do in ocfs2_file_aio_read so that we can update atime in splice read if necessary.

Hi, I'm having this Sendmail configuration problem and stuck. I've been doing googling/reading posts and none of the solutions matched my problem. I'm doing some testing, and have been getting this 550 5.1.1 ....User unknown error when I send the email to my company's email address. When I send it to an external email address, such as yahoo, the message delivered successfully.

Hi, I use rsync with hardlinks for backup, once a week doing checksums to ensure there's no filesystem corruption in the backed-up data. I also use tmpwatch, or something similar, to clean up /tmp, it removes files that have not been accessed recently. (atime older than some configured limit). I backup /tmp because I throw stuff in tmp that I might possibly need again but don't want to

Hello Gluster Community, I did some experiments with setting the atime in different scenarios. In scenario 2,3 and 4 I have a simple replica 2 volume with worm-file-level on 1. Setting atime on XFS: *[davids at gluster-test1 src]$ touch test[davids at gluster-test1 src]$ sudo touch -a -t 197001010001 test[davids at gluster-test1 src]$ stat test File: ?test? Size: 0

Hi I have a single filesystem i don't mount noatime because mutt would work very good otherwise. Today, in a discussion about mkisofs, i learned that Linux since 2.6.8 supports "O_NOATIME" as an option to open. (see "man 2 open") So how comes that rsync doesn't do that and/or there is no option to switch on that behaviour? Bis denn -- Real Programmers

In the past there have been discussions about adding a switch to rsync to preserve the atime on files being copied by rsync. I needed this function for a project I'm working on and decided to invent it. I've attached the diffs. Note that this has the limitations describe in previous emails, namely that preserving atime causes ctime to not be preserved. *** Patch follows *** ***

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I

Hi, I'm using samba-3.2.6 on linux. Using this, I'm trying to update/modify Last Access Time(atime) of a file on CIFS share(on NetApp Filer). But not able to do so. I could successfully update atimes on windows server, but NOT on NetApp Filer. Is SET_PATH_INFO supported by NetApp filer(7.2 version)? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks, -Kishore

Hi, Does anyone have experience with bending the NFS recommendations to get better performance? The question is has anyone, with Maildir and the INDEX= on NFS (i.e. dovecot.index and dovecot.index.cache, set mail_nfs_index to no. If so, was it better to turn maildir_copy_preserve_filename to on or did it help to turn if off. The other question is did you play with turning off atime updates

Hi! I've just tried to do a backup of a machine with rsync. While doing this (I was reading emails:-) I noted that mbox for mbox, I had no longe new mails, but I've never read off these mailboxes lately... This seemed to be a st_atime problem, and indeed, I could verify that. This is what I used for backup: rsync --archive \ --recursive \
