I got this mail from a cronjob and can't figure out what is causing rsync to crap out on me. I received the message at 5:03, when the cron job is scheduled to run at 4:00, so total runtime is approximately an hour. Machine that is fetching the files is a low-end G3 running Yellowdog 3.01, rsync --version 2.5.5. It has only 128 megs of ram, but isn't doing anything else. Transfers are

Hi, I am using rsync to backup various machines to a central server (all archlinux, rsync 3.0.7 on ext4). Yesterday I needed one of those backups, and I found out it is useless since a lot of files never got updated. Even when I enable checksums some files are not updated. I am pretty sure I am missing something, but am not sure what it is. This is (a stripped version of) the command I use:

I've got a problem for which the combination of -R and --link-dest doesn't seem to be quite enough---and I may have discovered a few small bugs as well; test cases are below. [And if someone has a scheme for doing this that doesn't involve rsync at all, but works okay, I'm all ears as well---I'm not the first with this problem.] Here's my problem: I unfortunately need to

Hi, I've got problems with a symlink to another device in a directory used with '--link-dest'.

Hello. tl;dr = v1.0.0 can boot my LXC containers, v.1.0.1 and v.1.0.2 fails. Paraphrased error message: "lxcContainerMountProcFuse:616 : Failed to mount ..../meminfo" I'd like to know if my host is misconfigured, or my domains, or ... why 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 are not working for me. I've been using libvirt for a while to manage QEMU instances. I have experimented with lxc.

Dear rsync users, I'm trying to copy my Time Machine Backup from my old USB hard drive to a new one. I got error messages, because rsync don't create group and other permissions. I use rsync 3.1.3. Did I use the correct parameters? Who has an idea, what mistake? Thanks! Best, André -- The bash script: #!/bin/bash source=/Volumes/LaCie\ d2\ Quadra\ v3/Backups.backupdb

So I am attempting to add a 2nd vpn to my existing setup and for some reason I can't seem to get it to work quite right. The issue I'm having right now is successful execution of the tinc-up script. It's probably something obvious but after several days I still don't see what I'm missing. I can see in syslog that "Script tinc-up exited with non-zero status 1" Both

I am on rsync version 3.2.7 protocol version 31, currently on an Arch Linux. The following seems I would expect to copy the contents of 'a' to 'c', based on my understanding of the the advice of `man rsync`: ----- mkdir a b c touch a/hello rsync -M--fake-super -a a/ b/ rsync --super -M--fake-super -a b/ c/ ----- Instead I see 'c' unchanged, and a garbage directory

Wondering why rsync isn't copying hidden files. I thought (google told me so) that rsync doesn't treat dot files specially.

Hello, I am doing some testing on a PXA270 based processor (on a single board computer) which makes the processor vulnerable to bit flips. One such bit flips seems to have corrupted the file system. The debug port on the board (it is a single board computer) had the following message when i think the FS corruption occured : <7>init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (33061) init_special_inode:

Synopsis: Prior to the 2.6.4pre versions, issuing 'rsync rsync://host/module/' behaved effectively as 'ls -l'. I've toyed with various options in an attempt to get an 'ls -l' style output, but to no avail. As I have a small handful of scripts that rely on this no-longer-functioning functionality, this could be considered a Bad Thing(TM). Following is an example of

Thanks so much for the quick reply, Kevin! I tried with ssh and --partial-dir, it looks the partial file still will be stored in local dir, but not in /tmp.

In my new bash script, I'm doing what I think is a very simple rsync command the way I'm used to doing it. I just do a lot of setup and checking before I get to it. When I run it, it gets very unhappy with me. It's probably something very simple. I need to build the rsync command in a string so that some things can go away - like if my variables DRY_RUN and DELETE are undefined,

Hi, I got the following report from a Debian user, about --files-from transferring the contents of a dir (i.e. including the files in it) specified in the input, even thugh the files aren't listed in the input. This happens only when the dir name ends with a slash. I asked him to cook up a script to reproduce this (as it wasn't quite clear to me at first what happened exactly). Any

I'm trying to synchronize a particularly troublesome directory structure on a SunOS box to a PC. I really want all symbolic links resolved to real files on the PC when everything is done. I can't seem to find any combination of parameters that will accomplish this. It boils down to two problems. 1. It seems like that even if I exclude a symbolic link that is a directory it is not

Hello rsync people I've noticed an apparent inconsistency in the ordering of output from the --list-only option. For example: $ ls d1 d2 d2-x d3 f1 f2 f2-x f3 $ rsync --list-only . drwxr-xr-x 4096 2012/12/17 15:18:05 . -rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f1 -rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f2 -rw-r--r-- 0 2012/12/17 15:17:52 f2-x
