Yes, it's time once again to return to the subject of moving files. With the recent changes to the communications code between the receiver and the generator, there is now a non-clogging channel that we can use to signal the sender when a file has been successfully transferred, which allows us delete the original for all transferred files. I have in the past waffled on whether this feature

Hi, I have written a 'smallish' patch to implement the --inplace option as discussed on this mailing list at various points in the past. It makes a small modification to the sender algorithm so that it won't ask the receiver to relocate blocks from earlier in the file when running with the --inplace option. I would appreciate any testing and feedback people can provide! I

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.

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2 at gentoo.org> Add new option --ignore-non-existing-directory, that is a variant of --ignore-non-existing, but applies ONLY to directories. This was previously proposed in bug #8366, but I indepentantly had a use case for it in the Gentoo infrastructure. X-URL: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8366 X-URL:

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

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 \

Hi All, Here's an rsync patch which adds an --offline flag, letting you transfer changed blocks via removable media, while still comparing checksums via the net. I expect this could be very popular for the growing number of people who want to do disk-based offsite backups, which is what I needed it for. It took me longer than I hoped, but still only several hours to work this out -- it

Hi, The patch below adds a "--ignore" option to rsync, which means "--exclude-but-dont-delete-even-if-we-specified--delete-excluded". I need this for a few tasks, the simplest of which is to have rsync resist trying to delete NetApp filers' ".snapshot" directories. The change is fairly simple (the boolean filter returns become tri-state), and works for me both

Hello, I found the reason why "refuse options" is ignored on the server side. When then 5th argument (int val) in the poptOption struct is set to zero, the parsing function poptGetNextOpt() just continues with the next arg, without returning. So check_refuse_options() is simply not called in such cases. The attached patch makes "refuse options" work with checksum and

I'd like to know if there's any support for changing the behavior of the -P and --progress options to increase the verbosity of the rsync command. Without -v, -P and --progress don't provide clear output: -v displays the current filename and -P and --progress display the progress of the current transfer. It's important that these two pieces of information work together since -P

I have two DOS filesystems mounted on Linux as "vfat" which I want to rsync. (They are on flash cards, so that they are also small). rsync gets tricked because the filesystem treats names differing in only case as the same. Thus, when it tries to sync "FOO123" with "foO123", it copies over the "new" file, and then renames it over the old one (which it

Since the heap statistics were added, I have viewed thousands of rsync reports (with --verbose and --stats), and not once have I had a need for them. So for me, they're just noise. Here is a 3-part patch to v2.5.6 that treats --stats in a similar fashion to --verbose in that additional --stats will get you more statistics. For this initial case, there's only one additional level of

hi. return value of close() (receiver.c) is ignored. when running out of quota on NFS (for example), this can happen (without the patch): output file(s) is/are truncated to 0 bytes and rsync reports success. with the fix, this happens: close "/home/luser/.test.mp3.PwaG50": Disc quota exceeded rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(464) ... ...and additionally, test.mp3

The attached patch adds an option --drop-suid which caused rsync to drop setuid/setgid permissions from the destination files. ie, even if the source file is setuid, the target file will not be. Added as we want to rsync the same files to machines both inside and outside our firewalls. For machines inside the firewall some files should be suid, for machines outside the firewalls they should

Unless you suppress all output with the -q option, rsync will always print an initial "building/receiving file list ... done" line. In my opinion, this is a bit superfluous. When I want to see a progress indication, I can use the --progress option. Another issue is the 3-line transfer speed and speedup factor report at the end. So every rsync invocation produces at least four lines of

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
