I have a customer that is using 250 gig drives for his business data. I have been using rsync to keep mirror copies of his data on a second machine. In the last 3 months I have lost 2 of four drives, the last one being the system drive. I have been doing a manual switchover. Each time rsync runs, I copy my samba conf files, passwd, shadow and group files from etc. Has anyone setup a HA

I have a server running Centos 4.2 with samba 3.0.14a running and using roaming profiles in a domain setup. There is a user with 125 tmp files in his Outlook Express Folder. They date back to June of this year with different sizes from 300K to 65 meg. Is this a sign of a problem with syncing? This same user has another problem. Let's call the user jdoe. When he goes to the server

A while back I argued for adding a --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and got some general agreement that it would be a good thing (especially for systems that don't have rsh at all). However, the changes were never integrated into rsync. This patch adds the --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and modifies main.c to improve the blocking-IO setting code. The old code would set blocking_io to

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync, with the transfers originating from a Win2K box and going to a Linux box. Both boxes are on my home LAN, so ssh is not required; I thought I would simply use the rsync protocol. I set up xinetd on my Linux box to start a rsync server when needed. My first attempts at a test run failed like so: $ rsync -a /cygdrive/c/installs/palm rsync://192.168.2.3/palm

I have been setting up my domain server using FC2 and samba 3.0.9. First thing, for your information: In the notations in several sources, it tells you to user "logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u" this is wrong. It should be, "logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U". Now that I spent 5 million hours banging my head on a wall with that, how do I get he exist desktops on my 2000/XP

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

Sir, How to run the rsync server in the remote machine. I want to mirror the set of directories from one machine to another machine which are in the network. I used the following command : /usr/sbin/rsync -vv --delete --recursive --times --perms --update source directory destinationmachine:destination directory. I got the error: Permission denied. How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

I am running a simple command, no firewall dropping, going to unix rsync server 2.3.1 from a win2k machine. and I am getting this error. note:(this used to work before I upgraded my win machine from NT4 to win2k. C:\DATA\RSYNC>c:\winnt\rsync -a -v c:\rsync\test-rsync user@www.server.com::site/htdocs/ > c:Connection refused rsh: can't establish connection unexpected EOF in read_timeout

Dear sir, Having read all the descriptions of how easy it was to use rsync, I tried it for the replication of two servers. Testing rsync 10.0.1.4:/tmp/repl/ /tmp/repl I got the following error message (after a period which seemed to be a time-out): 10.0.1.4: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream

I added the enviroment variable RSYNC_RSH=ssh and every things seems to work fine, but there is no way to tell if rsync is actually using ssh or not?

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change

I am recieving a connection unexpectedly closed error while trying to sync a directory on two machines. Rsync is in my path on both machines. I am using ssh and I can connect to the server fine through ssh. I am using a vpn but have no problems connecting to any of the servers with it. This is the full error message I get: Remote Machine: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly

I have a user John Dow on a local machine johnsmachine. I have a samba user jdow. When I moved the profile john dow to the domain keydomain, I can't get the install program to run. This is how it looks. I have local profile johnsmachine/John Dow and roaming profile keydomain/jdow. When logged into profile johnsmachine/John Dow, I can install and uninstall the palm software with no

I have 2 250gig drives in my machine and one has 50 gig on it and the other with my profiles directory in it has 219 gig. Is there a way to "split" my profiles directory. These are ide drives and I will not be mirroring them. My entry in smb.conf reads: [profiles] path=/data/profiles browsable = Yes readonly = no create mask = 600 directory mask = 700 profile acls = yes

I added a second network card with a new ip address that was say 11.11.11.11. I removed it and samba is still trying to reference it. This server is my domain master. I did not put in an interface parameter in my smb.conf so I am assuming this ip address was recorded as part of my domain master. Where would this ip address been saved? This server is also my PDC and winserver. Any
