similar to: Shell or rsync issue?

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a problem/conflict with -p, but I think it could be a useful feature. -- Aaron W Morris

Hi all, Today I came across something that I consider a bug. Would like to hear your opinions. Facts: - Using 0.22.1 from Debian Unstable on a Debian Testing machine - Recipes work on other machines The recipe in question is: # Keep home-dirs in sync file { "/home/tim": recurse => true, source =>

Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. Here is my situation: I am using rsync over the internet for several hundred clients to keep them in sync with a master repository of files. The rsync daemon is listening on port 80, because most of the clients are behind firewalls that only allow outbound port 80 (and other common ports). This works fine for most of them

Hello, I am using rsync 2.6.8 on a MontaVista Linux. I have a client/server setup with an rsync daemon running on the server. Also running over stunnel. When trying to do an rsync pull from the client of a module on the server, files that have a single quote in the name do not get transferred. I have tried escaping the single quote in the include from file, but still no luck. I have

Hi all, getting started with rsync. One of the best utilities I've used! My question is: I am syncing from my local web development directory (/var/www/mysite) to another drive shared by our dev team. The copy I am syncing to is a local subversion repository, and thus contains .svn directories. So I want to sync from the dev directory (which doesn't have .svn directories) to one that

HI all, efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks Suppose I know the list of files that are changed What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list. Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

Hello I am trying to set up a backup server running Solaris 8 with rsync 2.5.5 and ipfilter the latest version. The problem i have is i have about 16 different interfaces that are secured via ipfilter , and i tried running rsync via rsh but ipfilter would not set up a keepstate with rsh which meant i had to open up and that is not acceptable. So what i tried then was via ssh and that worked fine

Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

After four years of using R, I finally have run into a problem to which I can't find a solution in the guides or forums and thus I am making my first post. Our lab has Fortran code for population modeling. I have been using R as a wrapper to process the raw data, generate a batch script that compiles the Fortran code, executes the code in a shell, and then extracts the output of the program

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hi! Is there a possibiliy to tell rsync only to copy files less than eg 10Mb of size? I'm running a dedicated backup-server, and would like to skip backing up my downloaded iso-files. They can bee downloaded again if requeired ;-) -- Henning Wangerin <mailinglists-after-041101_reply-not-possible@hpc.dk>

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

hi there, i have a rsync server running in deamon mode, with a 1000 plus clients connecting to it to retrieve files. the problem is that when the clients connects the server has many rsync processes running on it, each of which is around 3.8mb each. Basically the server is running out of memory and grinding to a halt. is there anyway of controlling this or is adding more memory the only option?

Hi Has anybody ever tried (and most probably failed) to port rsync to Win32? I know there are versions built with cygwin and there are also other Windows programs that include the rsync algorithm. But neither of them make me really happy. The cygwin version is dead slow on my AMD 3500+ and the Windows programs all make something differently, can't be scripted and/or have an unusable GUI. I

I use the following command initially for a Rsync between Windows and Linux rsync -rvu -e ssh /cygdrive/c//folder user@linux.host.com:/home/public I was asked for user@linux.host.com's password. I type the password and the process continue and success. Then I change the command to (without "-e ssh") rsync -rvu /cygdrive/c//folder user@linux.host.com:/home/public I was also asked

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If
