This is a patch to add an --rsync-exclude option to rsync-2.5.6cvs. File names in .rsync- (or .rsync+) are excluded (or included) from the file lists associated with the current directory and all of its subdirectories. This has advantages over --cvs-exclude for backing up large file systems since the .cvsignore files only apply to the current directory: unless the .cvsignore restrictions apply

Some of the debug messages that rsync outputs (when verbose >= 2) can occur on both sides of the connection. This makes it hard to know which program is saying what. Some debug messages deal with this by outputting a "[PID]" string at the start of the message. Unfortunately, the startup message that tells us which pid is which is only output when verbose >= 3, so there's a

I have added regular expression support using a POSIX implementation. The patch (against 2.5.5) is attached. The implementation is simple and follows the same mechanism that is implemented for normal searches. I added these command line arguments: --rexclude=PATTERN exclude files matching regexp PATTERN --rexclude-from=FILE exclude regexp patterns listed in FILE --rinclude=PATTERN

Hi guys, I recently stumbled across what I think is an rsync bug. The problem was I was trying to rsync from one CVS checkout, to another, and was using rsync -Cavz to do the job. In this CVS module, there happens to be two sub-directories with the names of "core" and "tags" respectively, which were ignored, since these names matched the default CVS ignore list. When rsync

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hy folks, everybody knows, that rsync eats up a lot of memory, when rsyncing a lot of files. To avoid this i run rsync on different parts of the directory-tree (e.g. first ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir1 then ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir2 and so on) and it works fine for me. So i tried to do this in a automatical way (e.g perl/shell/whatever

On behalf of the development team of R (www.R-project.org), I would like to report the following problem with recent versions of rsync. First, some background info. The R Development Core Team uses CVS for maintainins its source code archive. Additionally, there is a mechanism for "mirroring" some important (so-called recommended) extension packages from a CRAN (Comprehensive R

We use rsync in a Linux installation script. First, the root filesystem of another machine on the network is cloned with "rsync -axzH", and then a few files are updated to give the clone its own identity. This works fine, but last week, the Postfix mailer daemon on a new machine refused to start because some lock files had a link count of 2. It turned out that rsync had created two

Hi, The patch below adds a "--ignore" option to rsync, which means "--exclude-but-dont-delete-even-if-we-specified--delete-excluded". I need this for a few tasks, the simplest of which is to have rsync resist trying to delete NetApp filers' ".snapshot" directories. The change is fairly simple (the boolean filter returns become tri-state), and works for me both

Hi, I'm trying to get rsync to use a list of directories and their contents to to another drive on a Windows XP machine. I tried the command rsync -rDPt --delete --include-from=c:\include_list.txt --exclude-from=c:\exclude_list.txt /cygdrive/d/source/ /cygdrive/e/backup But the trouble is that no matter what I put in the include_list file it always copies everything in source. I even

Hello I run rsync on a server and I backup our office PCs to it using cwRsync on Windows PCs. The command I use to backup these PCs is: rsync -vbalz --stats --backup-dir=/yesterday_backups/ --exclude-from="exclude_list.txt" --files-from="include_list.txt" --rsh="ssh" . username@mydomain.com:/path/to/folder On the server, I have the rsync service started at

This patch causes --exclude-from and --include-from to read from STDIN when given - for a filename. This was formerly incorporated in my --link-dest patch.

hi. return value of close() (receiver.c) is ignored. when running out of quota on NFS (for example), this can happen (without the patch): output file(s) is/are truncated to 0 bytes and rsync reports success. with the fix, this happens: close "/home/luser/.test.mp3.PwaG50": Disc quota exceeded rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(464) ... ...and additionally, test.mp3

We've just been hit rather badly by a very nasty bug that can cause rsync to silently discard files or fill them with zeroes. It happens when e.g. opendir() succeeds but readdir() returns an error; rsync does not check for an error from readdir() and so simply ignores the error (along with any remaining files in the directory). No error is reported to the user, who will then happily

I just received this bug report on Debian's rsync package. I've verified it. The entry from the manpage: -C [...] Finally, any file is ignored if it is in the same directory as a .cvsignore file and matches one of the patterns listed therein. Here the patterns of a .cvsignore file is apparently used to exclude file outside the directory where the .cvsignore file is found. Any

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

Hello All: I'm having an issue with rsync in that it recently (11/29/2008) started to crash during a daily cron job backup. Below is some info on how rsync is being used to backup our servers.
