similar to: patches for copying atimes

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

Attached is a patch for rsync 2.5.0 to fix the "make check" option. The find command was not being passwd the current directory in the hands.test and longdir.test testsuites, which caused them to fail on SunOS 4.X and Solaris 2.X systems. Tom -- Tom L.

On a PPC machine running Mac OS X, I noticed that creation time is not preserved for files that are transferred (i.e. versus files that are not transferred, or files that have only attribute changes). I discovered two things that work together to cause this: 1) cmp_time (util.c) doesn't check for negative values provided in file1 or file2. If file2 is positive, and file1 is

Dear All, Along with the files that suddenly disappear, we have a bit of a problem with these that do not. Namely, in my test runs I can see a small but stable set of files, that rsync is repeatedly trying to transfer, and then repeatedly fails to updates their times ; and then the story repeats itself. The situation is illustrated by the log snippet below, where I have changed file names to

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the

In the past there have been discussions about adding a switch to rsync to preserve the atime on files being copied by rsync. I needed this function for a project I'm working on and decided to invent it. I've attached the diffs. Note that this has the limitations describe in previous emails, namely that preserving atime causes ctime to not be preserved. *** Patch follows *** ***

How do I make rsync ignore and not report or update certain parts of the [l]stat(2) struct or checksum when selecting which items to report or update in a hierarchy? For example, I want to run: rsync -Haxi --delete /hier1/ /hier2/ and have it NOT do anything if say ONLY the modtime differs. Leaving out or in the --times [-t] option from the expansion of -a to -rlptgoD obviously does not do this.

-------- --Multipart_Thu_Apr__8_13:33:51_1999-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hello guys, I always wondered why smbclient keeps timestamp in `put'ting a file but does not keep it in `get'ting a file. Alternative to keep the time stamp in `get'ting file is to use -Tc option or smbtar script, but they are a bit hairy for interactive use, and it can only dump files with an
