Hello, Can someone tell me what the problem is here. I am doing an rsync on a sendmail spool directory to a folder that is a samba mount. Why is rsync trying to change owner? Does it have to? I tried manually changing owner (as root) on a file that is sitting on the samba mount and I got the same operation not permitted error. Does anybody know why this is? Or do I need to ask in a samba

I just got done sending 42,000 e-mail messages that were rotting away in /var/spool/clientmqueue. I figured out the command to do so was "sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m". I never even knew that directory existed. I thought everything queued was kept in /var/spool/mqueue (which, I might add is being taken care of on a regular basis.. just seems the problem lies in the

Hello All - I've been struggling to figure out whether this is possible, and starting to think it isn't. What I'm trying to do is add all directories to be backed up (source) in the include file and not mention any source directories on the actual command line. For example I've tried something like the following with no luck: rsync 10.0.100.254: /backup/

Hi all, The firmware I used is pa168s_iax2_us_151011.bin. My problem is the handset dial before I finished key in all the numbers, no matter how fast I managed to press the keys. It appeared it always dialed immediately, for example "011862", when I actually ment to dial 0118620xxxxxxxx. Thus left the remaining numbers "0xxxxxxxx" unsent. The handset had its dial plan

I've got a strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. Just installed 2.5.6 on a Redhat 8 system. Was doing a simple test from one local directory to another (in the root) with a couple of text files in the source. Using the following command line: rsync /directory1/ /directory2/ -v --recursive --stats After the first sync all files are copied properly, but then every

Hello - When using the stats option I understand that Literal should be the amount of data that did not match, and that Sent should be the actually amount of bytes that were sent. I always use compress for remote transfers, so I'm used to Sent being smaller (usually around half the size) than Literal. However on one server, the backup from last night had the Sent figure larger than Literal

I'm wondering if it's possible to do the following. I've got a source directory of /data with several subdirectories such as subdir1/ subdir2/ subdir3/ , etc. I'd like to rsync these to a different host under directory /backup, so that I have paths /backup/subdir1, /backup/subdir2, etc. I also need to be able to use the option --files-from. So, a source dir of /data on host1,

Hello list, I am running rsync 2.5.5 on some Solaris 7 and 8 boxes. I'd like to sync different directories from one box to another. This is my include file: ppukweb2% more rsync-include-file /tmp/loris/testrsync1 /tmp/loris/testrsync2 /tmp/loris/testrsync3 This is the command I run: rsync -azv -e ssh --stats --include-from=/tmp/rsync-include-file ppukweb8:/tmp/loris and this is the

I have a basic question, being new to EXT3. What are the pros and cons of using an external journal? Also, for a Terabyte-sized system, what should I use as the external journal's size? is there a general rule-of-thumb to follow when choosing the external journal's size? I know these are very basic questions, if they have been already answered in some FAQ, please let me know. Any

Hello, I am trying to rsync folders/files hosted on a Windows machine to a Linux machine. Many of the directory names have spaces in them. How can I list them in a file so that the --include-from option use them correctly? Thanks! Charles -- Charles-E. Nadeau Ph.D http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/

Hi, I'm doing a 30 day rotational backup using rysnc. If I go to the root of the backup directory and use: du --max-depth=1 -h, it gives me the actual space being taken up by each incremental directory, the space being taken by the current directory, and then the total of all. For example: 44G /Current 1G /06-20-2004 750M /06-19-2004 Etc... Etc.. .. .. 70G Total But what I would like to

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under. So my include-from file looks like: + Test2/* - /* This doesn't work as nothing is synced, and if I do a -vv it tells me that nothing is being

Hi, I'm having some strange issues when using cp in my rsync script. It seems there may be links breaking or something. Before running the actual rsync I run the following command in my script: cp -al /backup/Current /backup/$prevday Then I rsync from the source to /Current So shouldn't all my previous days have hard links back to the original /backup directory? Sometimes the

Hello - I've just upgraded to 2.6.5. On a new set of servers I'm trying to sync I seem to be running into a log of memory allocation errors. With some of the servers, I start the rsync session, and it counts so many files and then stops. At that point I'm unable to control-c out of the process. From another session I can't issue a kill command either...very strange. On other

I am using rsync version 3.0.7. My rsync server is running on the cloud. I have set the bwlimit to 10 i.e. 10 KBps. When I try to sync files the bwlimit is as what is set. I have enabled storage of partial files. When a communication break causes rsync to time out during a transfer the partial file is stored in the partial directory. I then try rsync again when the link is up. At this point I see

I am experiencing intermittent network failures on rsync 3.0.7 built using cygwin for Windows-XP (SP2). I am using GCC v4.4.2 and the latext version of cygwin.
