This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 5) * Fixed silly logic error. (rev 4) * Updated for committed robust_rename() patch, other changes in CVS. (rev 3) * Don't link empty

hi, all. I had an problem with rsync-2.5.4/5 related to filename length. On Linux box (kernel-2.4.18 + ext3 fs), filename length limits to 255byte, but rsync can't handle fn > (255 -9) byte. So I had an instant hack to avoid this problem. Patch file attatched works fine in my case, but I'm not sure that it is correct or not. Any suggestions ? Please cc me, I'm not on this

The following code in receiver.c around line 421 (2.5.6pre1) contains some dead code: /* we initially set the perms without the setuid/setgid bits to ensure that there is no race condition. They are then correctly updated after the lchown. Thanks to snabb@epipe.fi for pointing this out. We also set it initially without group access

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 Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

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

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. Anyone have an example of an MD4 collision so I can test that case? :) Patch Summary: -1 +1 Makefile.in -0 +304 hashlink.c (new)

Hi, I needed to filter content of files (encrypt), before they are sent over the network to backup server. The easiest way to do this was modifying Kyle Jones's "--dest-filter" patch. Somebody was asking there this feature in the past, so I'm sending this patch to list. Implementation details: -filtering disables rsync alogrithm -source filter makes temporary files in /tmp

Why is do_mkstemp fchmod-ing the temporary file? I was not able to figure this out from the CVS logs or my searches in the mail archives. Currently, do_mkstemp does this (*): mkstemp temporary file (which leaves it with 0600) fchmod temporary file (final perm & 0700) And then later it gets renamed to the final name and permissions set to what they are supposed to be.

I've been having problems trying to sync two small partitions (128MB) that may be near to full. If rsync gets a write error (such as is caused when you fill up a partition) during a sync without the use of "-T", it will stop with this error: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes: phase "unknown": Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

[I sent this the other day, but it never got approved for the list] I've been having problems trying to sync two small partitions (128MB) that are usually near being full. The rsync would fail with this cryptic error: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes: phase "unknown": Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(515) It ends up

Some of my users have reported problems with rsync puking on locked folders. The errors typically look like this: rsync -aNHAXx --fileflags --force-change --no-inc-recursive / /Volumes/ Backup > rsync: mkstemp "/Volumes/SCSI Backup/Users/Ken/Library/Caches/ > Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/..DS_Store.N9xtNy" failed: Operation not > permitted (1) (51) > rsync: mkstemp

All callers of robust_rename() call copy_file() if EXDEV is received. This patch moves the copy_file() call into robust_rename().

Hello, It would be goog if attached patch will be included in upstream. This patch adds option --apt-support for rsync and with this option rsync will print some additiona information about file being transfered. No program logic changed. Having this option in rsync we can have apt with rsync method support. Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 11:34:14 -0200 From: Gustavo Niemeyer

Yes, it's time once again to return to the subject of moving files. With the recent changes to the communications code between the receiver and the generator, there is now a non-clogging channel that we can use to signal the sender when a file has been successfully transferred, which allows us delete the original for all transferred files. I have in the past waffled on whether this feature

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

Hi all. I have just finished a small patch that adds support for multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest args. Its primary usage is to do incremental backups on top of eachother. (My current backup system stores each incremental as a single diff of the latest full.) Example: First full backup: rsync -a somedir full-20040415/ First incremental: rsync -a --compare-dest=../full-20040415 \
