similar to: DU and Hard Links?

Hello, Can someone tell me what the problem is here. I am doing an rsync on a sendmail spool directory to a folder that is a samba mount. Why is rsync trying to change owner? Does it have to? I tried manually changing owner (as root) on a file that is sitting on the samba mount and I got the same operation not permitted error. Does anybody know why this is? Or do I need to ask in a samba

Hello All - I've been struggling to figure out whether this is possible, and starting to think it isn't. What I'm trying to do is add all directories to be backed up (source) in the include file and not mention any source directories on the actual command line. For example I've tried something like the following with no luck: rsync 10.0.100.254: /backup/

Stephen, OK, I can now reproduce this hang at will, purely by pulling the plug on my desktop when logged in and then rebooting - its a gnome desktop box with few partitions and ext3 on all of them, so I guess its getting a pile of gnome or ssh related sockets kept in /tmp which is on root To recap, when the machine is suffering from this, it hangs at the point of mounting the root filesystem

Hello, Sometimes when creating hard links to the rsync destination directory, it seems like the new directory (created from the cp -al command) ends up with all the data. This causes a problem in the sense that if the rsync destination directory had 21GB, after the cp -al command, it ends up having only 8mb, then the rsync source directory determines that it now requires 21.98GB to update the

Hope this isnt' too off topic... I have a tree structure on one server similar to the following: /Current /01-04-2003 /01-03-2003 etc... /Current holds the most recent rsynced data, and the date directories are created with cp -al on a daily basis so they are hard-linked. I'm going back 60 days. The question is how can I move this entire structure to a new server and preserve the

Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else. Thanks - Max

Hello - I just finished doing a search of the archives and couldn't seem to get this answered. Example, I have a root directory containing the following directories: /Test1 /Test2 /Test3 I want to rsync only /Test2 and all subdirs under. So my include-from file looks like: + Test2/* - /* This doesn't work as nothing is synced, and if I do a -vv it tells me that nothing is being

Hi, I'm having some strange issues when using cp in my rsync script. It seems there may be links breaking or something. Before running the actual rsync I run the following command in my script: cp -al /backup/Current /backup/$prevday Then I rsync from the source to /Current So shouldn't all my previous days have hard links back to the original /backup directory? Sometimes the

Hello - I've just upgraded to 2.6.5. On a new set of servers I'm trying to sync I seem to be running into a log of memory allocation errors. With some of the servers, I start the rsync session, and it counts so many files and then stops. At that point I'm unable to control-c out of the process. From another session I can't issue a kill command either...very strange. On other

Hello - When using the stats option I understand that Literal should be the amount of data that did not match, and that Sent should be the actually amount of bytes that were sent. I always use compress for remote transfers, so I'm used to Sent being smaller (usually around half the size) than Literal. However on one server, the backup from last night had the Sent figure larger than Literal

I've got a strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. Just installed 2.5.6 on a Redhat 8 system. Was doing a simple test from one local directory to another (in the root) with a couple of text files in the source. Using the following command line: rsync /directory1/ /directory2/ -v --recursive --stats After the first sync all files are copied properly, but then every

Hello list, I am running rsync 2.5.5 on some Solaris 7 and 8 boxes. I'd like to sync different directories from one box to another. This is my include file: ppukweb2% more rsync-include-file /tmp/loris/testrsync1 /tmp/loris/testrsync2 /tmp/loris/testrsync3 This is the command I run: rsync -azv -e ssh --stats --include-from=/tmp/rsync-include-file ppukweb8:/tmp/loris and this is the

I've been using the latest cifs 1.8 client at http://linux-cifs.samba.org/ with Fedora 3 and RHE 4. This client seems to have a lot of issues that I did not notice when using smbfs. It seems like when there is an issue with connectivity to a windows machine, and you try to access a cifs mount, the entire session locks up. I basically have to kill the session, log back on, and then there is no

Hello, I have a small server running a tool (RT : perl + mysql + apache) for our support team. I stripped down everything else. The OS is CentOS 4.8.

I'm using Fedora Core 6 which uses cifs.mount version 1.10. When mounting shares from a particular Windows 2003 R2 server, I cannot read certain directories. For example, when performing an 'ls' command as follows: [root@backup Admin]# ls /share/CORP-SERVER/C\$/Corp/User\ Files/xxx\ Finacial\ Shared/Admin/Freddie\ Mac/ ls: reading directory /share/CORP-SERVER/C$/Corp/User Files/xxx

Hello, I started monitoring lan traffic with RRDTool on a linux box the other day that runs rsync, and I've found what I would consider a strange traffic pattern. This linux box rsync about 2Gb of data to a local samba share that is connected to a Windows 2003 server. Based on the literal data stat, roughly 20% is changed nightly and uploaded. However, the strange thing is that the traffic

Hello, I am trying to rsync folders/files hosted on a Windows machine to a Linux machine. Many of the directory names have spaces in them. How can I list them in a file so that the --include-from option use them correctly? Thanks! Charles -- Charles-E. Nadeau Ph.D http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/
