similar to: [Bug 1804] FreeBSD's mknod can't create FIFOs and sockets

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6280 Summary: (Bug incl. PATCH) Linux mknod does not work when syncing fifos and sockets from Solaris Product: rsync Version: 3.0.6 Platform: x64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo:

Hi there, there is a problem (which as far as i know) is already known with rsync on FreeBSD: it is not possible to rsync neither fifos nor unix domain sockets (note that you have to be root there): # mkfifo test # file test test: fifo (named pipe) # rsync -a test test2 mknod test2 : Invalid argument rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(620) # file /var/run/log

Since mkfifo, mknod_b, and mknod_c add the correct file type to the modes of the resulting file, make sure the specified mode contains only permissions bits. --- daemon/mknod.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ generator/actions.ml | 21 ++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/mknod.c b/daemon/mknod.c index 7f71210..9af8701 100644 ---

The following patch (adapted to rsync 2.5.5 from the one posted in Dec. 2000, http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2000-December/003349.html) is necessary to prevent rsync from failing on creating FIFOs or UNIX sockets on FreeBSD. Any chance for it to be integrated in a future release of rsync? Thomas. diff -ur work/rsync-2.5.5/config.h.in work.patch/rsync-2.5.5/config.h.in ---

Greetings, here is the output of the 'configure' step and the compile step (using the Compaq cc compiler that comes with Tru64 V5.1A. The configure reported success and most of the compile steps cam through error/warning free except for the one that stumbled. Can someone help me out here? I am willing to provide a binary for Tru64 V5.1A if we can swat this bug. We depend greatly on Rsync

Hi all, I ran across a few threads on google regarding FreeBSD's rsync mknod problem but I didn't find any good fix. I was wondering if anyone knows more about this and a good fix. Here's an example of the output. mknod qmail/queue/lock/trigger : Invalid argument mknod qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/supervise/control : Invalid argument mknod

Hi all, Currently, umask takes effect when we create device file via mknod, as bellow commands show: ><fs> mknod-b 0760 8 1 /dev/sdf ><fs> ll /dev/sdf brwxr----- 1 root root 8, 1 Apr 15 11:10 /sysroot/dev/sdf But I wonder whether it is reasonable? For mknod(1), when we use option -m mode, we set file permission bits to MODE, not a=rw - umask. Should this also be applicable

Hi I am a rsync (on Mac OS X, RsyncX version with extended HFS+/-eahfs forks) beginner (I merely use it for backing up my desktop machine to a bootable external firewire volume, so that I can resume work in case of a harddrive disaster) and I got these messages: mknod "/Volumes/backup/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/var/zopectlsock" failed: Invalid argument mknod

When trying to move my root to a btrfs filesystem, I found a missing feature (or a bug). It's not possible to create device files. To reproduce, run this on a btrfs filesystem: mknod test c 1 1 result: mknod: `test': Operation not permitted Frank

Hello I have a large list of URLs (from a database, generated automatically during tests) that I want to download using several wget processes at the same time. With our internal web servers, this will be a lot faster than downloading the pages one at a time with a single process. So I create 20 pipes in my script with `mkfifo? and connect the read end of each one to a new wget process for

Currently I only have one machine backing up to another. I am backing up to a filesystem that is mounted as nosuid. The syncing process works perfectly except it fails on files that are suid.

Hi there, I already asked the list about the problems with sockets on FreeBSD (see here: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg08121.html). I adopted Andrew Flury's patch to the recent CVS version of rsync: Index: rsync.h =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/rsync/rsync.h,v retrieving revision 1.155 diff -r1.155 rsync.h

Hello, I'm new to the list, so if this is an FAQ, please point me to the relevant docs. I'm playing with Theora, to see what kind of quality I can expect (I realise its not for production use yet). I've download the source from CVS, and got it to build, with the example encoder and player. While trying to find something to serve as a good source of input, I decided I'd use a

Hi all, I have rsync 2.5.1 (with a patch from albert chin - china@thewrittenword.com) installed OK on Tru64 5.1 UNIX. When I run rsync, it doesn't work with special files (FIFO, socket,...)
