similar to: problems with --link-dest

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.

Hi there, my dovecot is now running normaly, but there is a small problem.... We want to to use the maildir format at the mailstorage. But the imap part of dovecot creates the for mbox specific files, but why? I created a passwd-file for a testuser. At this tme, there is only on line: test2 at dev2.abc.de:ujAN28k8.5zV2:99:99:*:*:*:* in dovecot.conf are these interesting lines:

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller

Hello, from a server where neither a rsync daemon nor ssh is running I'm trying to backup the whole data with ftp. So my idea was to call rsync like this: rsync -v -a 'ftp://1.2.3.4/' my_folder But this gives me: ftp: unknown host ftp: unknown host ftp: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Hello, today our dovecot imap server died. The following message appeared in the logfile: dovecot: Mar 23 07:00:58 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files We have one dovecot instance for pop3 and one for imap, so while the pop3-service was still available, the imap-service was not running any more. I've seen a lots of users keeping there imap-connections idle for hours, often more

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

Hello, I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for multiple architectures are installed: yum install sqlite-devel Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.intergenia.de * updates: centos.intergenia.de * addons: centos.intergenia.de * extras: centos.intergenia.de base 100%

Hello, I'm a bit afraid of users, the might slow down the server because of search requests to the imap-server on very large mailboxes. Even with a performant index, this could cause a lot of cpu and i/o-load. Is it possible to include the login-name in the imap process, so that a "ps ax" doesn't just give "imap", but e.g. "imap test at example.com"?

Hello, is dotlock supposed to work with NFS? I noticed that the default-locking method causes problems even with nfslockd started. Regards Marten

Hello, is it possible the change the folder separator from "." to "/"? Users shall be able to have folders like "Junk/aol.com/*". Regards Marten

Hello, I experimented with dovecot the whole evening yesterday and the mailserver worked fine since there haven't been that much users connecting to it. I'm using dovecot 1.0.alpha5 as pop3 and pop3s server. The maildirs are mounted through NFS and since there is no nfslockd running I disabled mmap in the config and told dovecot to use dotlock. Also I experienced, that dovecot was

Hi, I'm working with dovecot 1.0.beta2 for pop3 only and have set index=memory, so no indizes are created on the disk. pop3_uidl_format is set to %f. The maildirs are located on an nfs-share. So generally, this setup is very similar to what qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d does. However, everytime I'm switching from qmail-pop3d to dovecot, the system load increases from less than 2 to more

Hello, (I found a post in the archives titled "link_dest checks perms despite no -p -o or -g" on April 7th, which might be related - not sure...) I'm trying to get a rotating daily backup going with previous days kept as hard links to save on network transfer and disk space. The plan: on day N, rsync to blah/N/, using --link-dest=../<N-1> (modulo 7 or whatever). My test

Hi, I'm having a MAJOR issue with an rsync backup script that is actually OVERWRITING the files that it should be backing up! The thing is, the same script (with different source/destination variables) runs FLAWLESSLY on another file server! Background: 2 OS X client computers running 10.4.11 (1 intel, 1 PPC). both are running rsync v2.6.3. rsync is backing up from one firewire HD(afp

Hello, I'm currently experiencing, that 0 messages are shown at the pop3-prompt: list +OK 0 messages: . But the cur-folder containes 74 files. How can this happen? Why aren't they removed physically? Regards Marten Lehmann

Hello, for some reason dovecot doesn't start up. I'm using the default values in dovecot.conf, just changed the login_user, disabled ssl and ran sbin/dovecot, but nothing happens. No error's, I can't find any logs, no daemon anywhere, no ports bound... I don't know where to look and whatfor. I compiled with --enable-debug, but there's no extra output. Any ideas?

(I'm not sending this to dirvish@pegasus because I think that this message applies more to rsync's --link-dest option than to just dirvish.) I recently noticed a huge spike in dirvish network usage and traced it to files whose permissions had been changed. (with rsync v2.5.6) I understand and agree that a --link-dest copy of a source file cannot be hardlinked to, but couldn't a

Hello, i'm using rsync 2.6.0 for daily-syncing some remote AIX 5.2 machine to a local linux (RH 7.3) with using the --link-dest option for saving space on incremental backups. Even if there are no changes on the AIX machine, all files are newly transferred on every new sync. My test scenario (actisi=remote aix machine, actisa=local linux machine): =====> Initial rsync [mma@actisa

When using --link-dest, this block of code in skip_file causes new copies of files to be created if source and destination file permissions differ, even if -p -o and -g haven't been specified. if (link_dest) { if((st->st_mode & ~_S_IFMT) != (file->mode & ~_S_IFMT)) { return 0; } if (st->st_uid != file->uid || st->st_gid != file->gid) { return 0; } }

Hi, I'm having a problem using --link-dest and --hard-links when the fs hits the hard link limit (link(2) returns EMLINK). Using rsync 3.0.7 an error is thrown and the target file is not created. Glancing at git head it _looks_ like things could now be a little nicer. Perhaps the target file is copied instead of hard linked when hardlinking fails -- I've not tested it. Anyway, the
