similar to: Multiple compare-dest args

Updated to current cvs without the --exclude-from - patch. This patch allows specifying a --link-dest path similar to --compare-dest except that unchanged files are hard-linked to the --link-dest path instead of producing a sparse tree. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.

Recently various needs for multiple version handling were discussed and I put forward a plan of mine. Subsequently the proposal for a --compare-file=<FILE> switch had support, so I have implemented this. I have also implemented an experimental --compare-auto which decides which file to match against using a rule. Instructions for patch: 1. Install rsync-2.5.6 source 2. "patch -p1

Please CC me. I'm not subscribed. Attached is a patch against 2.5.4pre1 CVS current to add the --link-dest option so rsync will create hardlinks for unchanged regular files to a directory on the destination. This is like --compare-dest except that the result is not a sparse tree. Also included is extension to --(ex|in)clude-from to allow - for stdin. Could one of the maintainers please add

Please CC me directly as i'm not on the list. I have attached a patch against latest CVS (cvs diff -u) that adds the following functionality. I can break it up if you would prefer it in pieces. Comments welcome. o add compare-perms option This creates a new inode for a file even if only the perms have changed. This way if a file outside of destdir is hardlinked to a dentry inside

Hi again. I just spotted another peculiarity when inspecting the rsync log. When using --compare-dest, source files that have permissions that differ from the "comparables" are not logged, unless you're using -i. Here's a testing session: $ ls -lR .: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:16 cmp/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vidar users 4096 2005-03-31 14:23 dst/

Dear rsync people, Today I tried to back up my computer using rsnapshot with the RPM version of rsync-acl 2.6.9pre1 that I built. I tried twice, and both times, rsync encountered some kind of assertion failure. I was trying to reproduce the crash with rsync-acl 2.6.9pre2 and noticed a different bug (described below); when I have a chance, I will go back and investigate the crash further. Rsync

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to --ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a --dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination with transient increments in dry_run; this caused

Hi! I use rsync batch mode for incremental backups. That is, I create an on-line backup with rsync, and use the --write-batch flag to additionally generate my delta, which I send off-site. To restore, I download a full backup and apply the deltas with --read-batch. This is quite a lovely setup, in principle. However, restore has give me problems. Before I detail them, let me ask: Are a lot

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

The samba server is FC3 / samba 3.0.10 (Fedora package w/ idmap_rid compiled) The samba server shows up in the browse list, but when you select it from an XP machine windows spits up "\\ server is not accessable" yada yada "The user name could not be found" The following shows up twice in /var/log/samba/winbindd: [2005/02/01 14:00:27, 0]

Hello rsync developers, The string compare_dest (in options.c) is set whenever the --compare-dest or --link-dest options is called. However, if the directory specified by compare_dest does not exist, then the target files (which should have been in compare_dest) are not found, and every transfer is a full transfer. I can't imagine that would ever be the user's intent. Perhaps a

Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

Here's a patch that makes rsync try to find an existing file in a group of hard-linked files so that it doesn't create the first one in the group from scratch if a later file could be used instead. Details: I decided to avoid having the code do an extra scan down the list when we encounter the lead file in the list. This is because it would be bad to have to do the same scan in the

Hello, Please forgive me if this has been discussed, I did not find any references when I searched. I'm trying to replace a W2K server with a samba member server in a single ADS domain. It seems that the Fedora rpms do not support idmap_rid so I am trying to compile from the Fedora SRPM. After following the docs for building and configuring idmap_rid I get no ADS users from `getent

Resolved: I was not able to compile then make install and have work so I ended up using the FC3 packages and adding only the freshly compiled idmap_rid module. Thanks for the help.
