similar to: Test case for hard link failure

Greetings, I've setup a samba server (ver 3.0.14a-3) on debian sarge. When I copy files to the server, the 'date created' attribute is always the same value as the 'date modified' attribute. The 'date modified' attribute remains the same, but the 'date created' changes as noted above. I also have a snap server which has the same type of behavior. It is my

Hi folks, I've been googling around for awhile but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. I have a number of filesystems that contain thousands of hard links due to some bad organization of data. Rsync, cpio and various other utilities fail to copy this data because I think there might be some cycles in it. (you know you have troubles if cpio can't copy it!) What I thought

Hello, I have an el-cheapo shared hosting account on Dreamhost, and have had it for a very long time. For the most part everything usually works fairly well, considering I do keep a lot of folders, and mail, on some of my accounts. They are running dovecot, but still don't have a response as to the version, or doveconf -n output yet. My problem is, one of my most used folders, which was

I'm running a mirror of several repositories that are fetched using separate rsync runs. Since some of those repositories are hosting related files, I'm using the hardlink utility[1] in order to save disk space. However, I've noticed an issue that may lead to potential file metadata inconsistencies when using hardlink. Consider the following scenario: - two repositories (rep_a and

I am looking for a simple backup program that I can use to backup a CentOS box to a local tape drive. Hopefully someone here can give me a recommendation. This is what I need: - Simple launching of manual backups (preferably from the command line) - Ability to span tapes for a large backup - Proper treatment of hardlinked files - Notification via email or similar when it is

I notice that devices are not hardlinked when using the --link-dest option, for instance: rsync -aH --link-dest=../bar/ foo/ baz/ When foo/zero is a device, baz/zero is not a hardlink to bar/zero.

Hourly I have an rsync job backup /home to /home/backup. I have 24 directories (one for each hour): home.0 ... home.23 Here is the script I am running via cron: #! /usr/local/bin/bash dest=`date +%k | sed 's/ //g'` linkdir=`date -v-1H +%k | sed 's/ //g'` chflags -R noschg /home/backup rm -rf /home/backup/home.$dest rsync -ahHP --numeric-ids --delete --stats --link-dest=../

Hi Rsync-ers I'm simply using rsync to do an exact copy of my root (and home) partition by using the -aHv options. When the copy is complete, I modify fstab so my root and home mount points are pointing to the newly copied partitions. When I boot (into the new partitions), init and all the services start okay; however, when I get to "mgetty" and it passes control to

Hi! Lately I'm faced some problems with samba. Basically it starts and dies[1] soon after. A little research and I found the issue: I/O error. There was a bad sector "under" the DOMAINDNSZONES ldb file, making the file corrupted. So far no problems, but before the current setup, I've tested samba within an usb stick - please, don't judge me :P - and faced exactly the same

I've got a problem for which the combination of -R and --link-dest doesn't seem to be quite enough---and I may have discovered a few small bugs as well; test cases are below. [And if someone has a scheme for doing this that doesn't involve rsync at all, but works okay, I'm all ears as well---I'm not the first with this problem.] Here's my problem: I unfortunately need to

Hi! It's me again with another --link-dest issue: I am using dirvish (www.dirvish.org) to create daily backup on disk images. dirvish is using rsync with --link-dest pointing to the last good image. This creates images with hardlinks to unmodified files. So far so good. Now I want to create a "current" filetree with hardlinks pointing to the last image. rsync -vaH --delete

The background: I host one of the unofficial slackware mirrors & push to a high speed (unlisted) mirror that several other unofficials use for pulls. To save time/disk/bandwidth I use a custom script to hardlink the trees prior to pushing the updates to said unlisted mirror. The commandline (linewrap from hell, sorry): (note: username/password/hostname/modulename deliberately obfuscated)

Hi list, many moons ago I asked about preserving hardlink between identical messages when pigeonhole (for sieve filtering) was used. The reply was that, while hardlink worked well for non-filtered messages, using pigeonhole broke the hardlink (ie: some message-specific data was appended to the actual mail file). Here you can find the original thread:

To me, this seems a _very_ important feature, and I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if the feature (hardlink+sieve) simply does not exists. Hardlink+Sieve has never worked. The fix is a bit complicated. Here's my
