Hi, The following lines in compat.c are rather imprudent: if (read_batch || write_batch) checksum_seed = 32761; else checksum_seed = time(NULL); write_int(f_out,checksum_seed); Setting checksum_seed to a constant in batch mode means block collisions are reproducible and predictable. Thus, some files will be permanently "unlucky" in batch mode and will

Hello, I wrote this patch that allows you to run rsync over an existing I/O connection, instead of creating a new rsh or socket connection. For example, I have a client and server that talk over ssh via a simple custom protocol. I want to use the existing ssh connection to transfer files, but I want the flexibility of rsync to do it. With this patch, I can do the following in my client

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.

In an effort to get my long-desired move-files functionality into rsync, I have created a version of my patch that runs as an extra pass at the end of the processing. This results in a simpler set of changes to rsync. I still think it would be nice to have incremental deletions during large transfers (as my first patch provides), but acceptance of this patch would relegate such quibbling to a

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 *** ***

In the bufferbloat age, anything that can make for a kinder, gentler bulk transfer protocol seems desirable. This add support for user and server selectable congestion control algorithms. As examples: --congestion-alg=lp # For the tcp-lp algorithm on the command line Or in a subsection: [mystuff] congestion alg = westwood # for a wireless connection And diffserv support: --diffserv=8 for

Greetings, Upon a suggestion to improve the --timelimit patch, I have also added a --stopat option. You can get the patch from this URL and/or cut/paste it from below. http://www.terry.uga.edu/~jft/rsync-timelimit-stopat.patch.gz Here are the details... --timelimit=T This option allows you to specify the maximum number of minutes rsync will run for. This time starts when

Greetings, I have written a patch for rsync-2.6.1pre-2 which adds a --time-limit=T option. When this option is used rsync will stop after T minutes and exit. I think this option is useful when rsyncing a large amount of data during the night (non-busy hours), and then stopping when it is time for people to start using the network, during the day (busy hours). If this patch is accepted it may

I've added the options --min-age=SECONDS and --max-age=SECONDS to allow rsync to skip files based on how recently they were modified. Setting --min-age=30 (for example) would cause rsync to skip files that had been modified within the last 30 seconds. Setting --max-age=7776000 would cause rsync to skip files that had been modified more than 90 days ago (7776000 == 60*60*24*90). I realize

This draft patch adds support for transferring extended attributes with a new --xattr option. It ought to work on Linux with XFS or ext2/ext3 filesystems with the SGI/bestbits attribute system. It is partially working, but there seems to be some kind of hang bug while transferring the file list. I suspect it might be provoking a problem in io.c. You need to rerun autoconf, autoheader and

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

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

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 \

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
