I have some pictures that I unload from the camera into: dir/tmp and at night I automatically rsync all of dir/ to some remote:dir/ Then days or weeks later I do some local sorting, and I make lots of image moves of the sort where image dir/tmp/bar goes to to dir/category1/bar, possibly linked also into dir/category2/bar. Then rsync runs the next night, notices the "new" image

rsync-2.4.6-2mdk I ran an rsync into a file system that filled up. I got no error message out of rsync - it just stopped and exited sliently. I stuck an fprintf into the receiving code and verified that the proper error was being generated - it just never gets printed by the rsync sending process. I submitted a bug report about it; but, I can't believe that other people haven't had

It's probalby a common question, and I've read the man pages and such, but I need a little bit more help getting this specific task to work right. Basically, I want to mirror home directory structures, and only two files within each home directory, to other machines from a central server. Those files are ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs and ~/.procmailrc. Other files should not be transfered,

I've not been happy with the stories about the "stable" 2.4.x kernels. Everywhere I read people saying "not for production use". Would you recommend adding ext3 to 2.2.19 (ext3-0.0.7a) or moving to 2.4.1x and using ext3 there (ext3-0.9.12)? -- -IAN! Ian! D.

I want to use --min-size to copy just large files (and their necessary parent directories), but everything I've tried copies *all* the source directories, and creates them empty on the destination even if they don't have any big files in them. I only want the minimal directory hierarchies that contain the big files. This doesn't work: $ rm -rf /tmp/foo $ rsync -ai --min-size

Kernel 2.4.8 on an Athlon 500. e2fsprogs-1.23 ext3 compiled as a module. I used "tune2fs" to make /boot and /home into ext3, and remounted them OK. (I am so amazed to see the system come right back without an lengthy fsck on these two file systems after a power off! Well done!) I also used "tune2fs -j" on /, it created a /.journal file. The debugfs features command shows

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine. The smbfs mounted file system shows most lower-case accented characters fine; but, it substitutes underscores for most of the upper-case accented characters (and a few lower-case ones too): # uname -a Linux elm 2.4.18-8.1mdkian3 #7 Sat Aug 17 15:19:44 EDT 2002 i686 unknown (Mandrake 8.2 Linux with all

I think you can change the existing firewall logging code for log_rule_limit (where you have one case for for LOGRULENUMBERS and another almost identical case without) down to this slightly shorter version with no duplication (excerpt): if [ -n "$LOGRULENUMBERS" ]; then eval rulenum=\$${chain}_logrules [ -z "$rulenum" ] && rulenum=1 fi case

This rule with a long name and logging: AllowInternetPrintingProtocol:debug causes this iptables error: Processing /etc/shorewall/rules... Rule "AllowSSH:info net fw" added.

I almost always use "-u" with rsync so that I don't overwrite remote files that have changed. The only way to get rsync to tell me which remote files are "newer" is to use a double-v (-vv), which produces way more output than I care to see. (In true Unix fashion, I don't care to see what was done successfully; I only want to see what failed.) I've always had to

I'm not sure if I was relying on unspecified behavior, but I was in the habit of putting entries like this: /home/tug/public_html into an exclude file. This would omit everything under that directory. (I'm not sure if it omitted the directory itself, but I didn't care.) In rsync 2.6.7, this had no effect, and everything under /home/tug/public_html was copied. I notice that a new

I have the following 3 commands which are supposed to run every night to back up my web server: rsync -avve ssh --numeric-ids --delete --ignore-errors myuser at myisp.com:/usr/home/myuser /Volumes/Downloads rsync -avve ssh --copy-links --numeric-ids --delete --ignore-errors myuser at myisp.com:/usr/home/myuser/mail_boxes /Volumes/Downloads/myuser/mail_boxesBU rsync -avve ssh --copy-links

My Linux workstation (Mandrake 10.1 kernel 2.6.8.1) is dual-homed to two ADSL Internet providers. Card eth0 (192.168.9.250) is the default route and leads to an SMC router (192.168.9.254). Card eth1 (192.168.1.250) leads to a Linksys router (192.168.1.1). I''m not doing any NAT or PPPoE in the workstation - the SMC and Linksys handle it all. I know four commands that let you set an IP

Hello all I cannot sync my windows box with my linux box because of the following error. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] I run rsync version 3.0.4 ( protocol 30) on both machines (cwRsync binaries on windows). i sync over ssh. Ssh command works fine from windows. Same rsync command from the linux box works fine. Only the rync command from windows

What I want is a client-side log file itemized list of *all* the changes that rsync did on the remote machine. Using "--log-file" doesn't show everything. In particular, --log-file says nothing if the remote directory was populated using hard links from a --link-dest source. Any number of remote links and directories can be created, with no mention of any of it in the log file.

Hello, Thanks Olly , by following to your suggestion I could do the indexing in the CSV file while the search results retrieved from the Postgres and it's working fine. [ I am using the Xapian PHP-binding to index and search.] How could I enable the WILDCARDS in it ? I followed with the online manual which says it is disabled by default there given some method to enable but I am not
