similar to: checksum_seed

I now fully and completely remember why I hate Windows. I have struggled with the backup semantics options in order to get rsync able to back up open files, and I got something that appeared like it should work, but it didn't work. So I finally broke down and wrote a holdopen.exe and a tryopen.exe to test my theory, and no matter what privleges were enabled (backup and restore were enabled),

I've pondered the feedback and revised my proposal to the client. Here is the revised project objectives. Notably, this is the addition of 4), the deletion of the whole slew of items actually related to handling versioned files, and mention of preexisting work on 1). I've took a little gander at some of the backup wrappers, and it looks like I will probably use one of these. I'll

Hi! Below is a link to a proposal I'm writing for two clients of ours who want an Internet-based backup solution. I propose eleven "objectives" in it, most of which are modifications to rsync. I'd like to contribute these changes back where possible, and so I'm posting this here for review. The nuts and bolts of it is the ability to keep multiple copies of files (think

Hi, The following lines in compat.c are rather imprudent: if (read_batch || write_batch) checksum_seed = 32761; else checksum_seed = time(NULL); write_int(f_out,checksum_seed); Setting checksum_seed to a constant in batch mode means block collisions are reproducible and predictable. Thus, some files will be permanently "unlucky" in batch mode and will

hi guyz, One simple question. What does rsync do when it encounters open files. Do we have to use open file manager(like st bernard) to back up open files or is there any open source open file manager or can rsync backup open files by itself. thanx tarun --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Any feedback on this patch and the possibility of getting it into CVS or the patches directory?

Wayne, Please consider the attached patch. This applies to the current CVS, and is independant of patches/local-batch.diff. As a matter of fact, I'm sure it would conflict heavily with local-batch.diff. This version of batch mode has a couple distinguishing features: Write-batch records (almost) the entire sender side of the conversation into one file. ("Almost" because it has

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name.

I am the author of BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) and I am working on adding rsync support to BackupPC. I am implementing the server-side in perl, and the client will run vanilla rsync. (BTW, is there the protocol documented? I've answered all my questions by looking at the source, but it would be great to check against any docs.) I started with librsync 0.9.3 and the

Hi, while implementing the rsync protocol in one of our projects I found that the current CVS version still has a MD4 bug. I'm using the FreeBSD libmd implementation and I still had checksum mismatches with protocol version 27 for files whose size was a multiple of 64 - 4 ( - 4 due to checksum_seed). A patch for todays CVS version is attached. Someone should also review the clean_fname()

The attached patch provides an additional check for the checksumming mode to ensure that a file that is actually written out to disk can be read back and has the same MD4 sum as the file on at the originating location.

> Just curious: what about the rsync+ patch? Thanks for the reminder. I've just committed Jos's rsync+ patch onto the "branch_mbp_rsyncplus_merge" branch. If it works OK and nobody screams I will move it across onto the main tree tomorrow or Wednesday. I see the patch doesn't add documentation about the new options to the man page, so we should fix that in the future.

I'm in the midst of coding a patch set for consideration that will bump the protocol version and have a couple of observations. The current minimum backwards-compatible protocol is 15 but we have code that checks for protocol versions as old as 12. If someone else doesn't beat me to it i'm considering cleaning out the pre-15 compatibility code. A backwards compatibility patch could

Is there a way to start or trigger the el-torito process from PXELinux?
