similar to: synchronisation in multiple directions.

Help me Tell it is possible to make double-side synchronisation of two servers? So that it passed only on time. For example at an identical set of files on two servers any file on the first to change, i.e. for it time modify will exchange. It means becomes newer and it is necessary to transfer it to other server. And on the contrary, if modification time for any file of the second server it to

Hello, is there any way to use rsync for two-way-syncronisation? I want to use it to keep the data on two hosts consistent. Sometimes one of this hosts (sometimes the first, sometimes the second) changes its location. If the two hosts are at the same location I want automatically rsync them. The data only changes at one hosts but it is not defined on which host it changes. For example: I have

I have a project that requires that I have two file servers physically separated, both of which need to be able to written to and synced using rsync. I'm not worried about rsync, I'm really worried about users deleting files, because if they delete files on one side, they would just get replicated back from the other side. I have thought about hacking up a script that logs into the

I have /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail NFS mounted from another server. Everything is fine, until I simulate an NFS server failure, by shutting down the NFS server process. At this point, Asterisk becomes almost non-responsive. It won't even process a 'sip show peers' command correctly. It displays a few lines of text, pauses for several seconds, and then displays the rest. When a call

When operating in daemon mode, will rsync check to see which file is newer and decide which direction to transfer based on that? Example, We have 2 terminal servers, A and B. I want users to be able to work on either server and have their home directories on both stay in sync. If a user logs into server A and changes files, the server would know to transfer the file from A to B. If they log

Hi, I have a mac pro and a windows Vm which I want to keep sync. I tired using other Sync programs but they do not seems to be working. I tend to leave applications running which create their own temp files in its own specific folder, which caused the other sync programs to crash. I tired SyncToy by MS and Unison. I am looking for a bi-directional sync program that runs in the background

What's the current wisdom on sync of sysvol to other (samba) DC's? [I should probably search, but I don't recall seeing discussion on sysvol sync details hit the list recently.] A quick search dud turn up this wiki article - is that current best-practice? https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rsync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround I'm running the Ubuntu 18.04 packaged Samba

I see the Samba guide suggests using rsync to keep sysvols in sync, but this poses a problem with ID's and it is only one-way. I have been hesitant to suggest anything because of the flak I have been getting, but I do believe I have a much better solution that transfers files via SSH, is bi-directional (no more only editing group policy on one server), and does NOT set UID/GID

Hello Rowland, Louis and Min, sorry for late reply, I was really busy in the past days. As Min already wrote, I have made the same experience unfortunately. With Rowland's suggested settings it didn't solve the problem. I'm on another issue at the moment and didn't find time to check the rsync/unison process on my own, but I'll promise I'll dive into it as soon as I can.

Hi everybody! I know this is an ultraknown issue, but in my case i think it is going beyond. As you may guess my domUs clocks go faster or slower They come with the same OS (Centos 5 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 ) but each of them have a different clock speed. Why? Dom0 does not syncronize domUs : So i watched out looking for any solution.... First attempt: /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock = 0

greetings, i want to sync my desktop home directory to my laptop home directory. i am using KDE for desktop. a problem that i foresee is the different screens between the 2. i synced using; rsync -a -u -v -e ssh /home/geo geo at 192.168.1.5:/home/geo.new with intent of in laptop's /home; mv geo geo.org mv geo.new geo what files and directories in 'org' directory need to be

I want to build 2 servers (both running samba) to provide file storage to 2 offices (approx 100 miles apart, linked via DSL) but all data writen to 1 server must also be saved to the other server. Both servers would also allow users to access the data via a VPN thus allowing 1 office with a failed server to access the other server via the vpn and still see the data from both offices. I currently

Hi. I have two servers located in two different time zones. I want to know if there is a way to keep the shares synchronized. Right now what i thought is to run rsync from Server A to Server B . However the issue is say Server B has a new version of the file in server A and that should not be overwritten but should be copied back to server A. How to go about this? Regards Janantha

Assume I start with two absolutely equal directory trees. Now I rename in one of the directory trees a file from aaa.txt to bbb.txt How EXACTLY can I tell rsync to synchronize the other directory tree. That means that in the other partner directory tree the missing file should be deleted and the new, renamed file should be copied? This should work regardsless on which side/partner dir tree the

I'm trying to do a two-way rsync and it works ok for creating and updating files but file deletions are flawed. The only way to sync the fact that a file was deleted is to use the -delete option, but this poses a problem. If Server A has file 'foo' and Server B does not. Will rsync think that 'foo' is new and copy it to Server B? Or will it think that 'foo' is old and

Hi, I just read the thread http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-June/009678.html which describes how --keep-dirlinks came to be. My use case is similar, but I?d like a similar option for files as well. Setup: in my public_html I have some symlinks which I send over as files, with -L (for various reasons: partly, because they are copies of current work which is done elsewhere, or

I am looking at possibility of using OCFS2 with an existing application that requires very high throughput for read and write file access. Files are created by single writer (process) and can be read by multiple reader, possibly while the file is being written. 100+ different files may be written simultaneously, and can be read by 1000+ readers. I am currently using XFS on a local filesystem,

Hi, I need to solve a specific problem and I think that I need an extension to rsync for this to work :) I have an FTP server in the DMZ and a samba server in my intranet. The ftp server has an "incoming" directory, where people can put uploads and it is also running rsync in daemon mode. The samba server syncs the incoming directory of the ftp server every minute to make access to

I've done quite a bit of looking, but I haven't found an answer that answers this question. Environment: cygwin on Windows rsync 3.0.4 I know that rsync isn't optimzed for speed on local copies - that's clear in my testing. I'm attemting to sync a large volume of files. (In this case, I'm syncing a rdiff-backup set...) An initial sync will be about one fourth as fast a
