similar to: rsync creating 0-length files?

I am running: + cd /oas + rsync -a --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --rsync-path=/dcs/packages/gnu/bin/rsync --progress root@sherlock1.oas.uci.edu:/oas . ...and I can see that it sometimes transfers some files, however, it appears to be consistently missing this directory: /oas/projects/pers/oct2004 What might cause this? Thanks!

Does anyone have advice or pointers on good documentation on how to convert a system from using the Mbox format to using Maildir? I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 2 from Fedora Core 1 and discovered that UW-IMAP was gone. So I switched over to using Dovecot. So far so good. But I would like to convert my system to start using the Maildir format. How easy is this to accomplish? Can I keep

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9? Maybe it's been fixed in a later release? Might it be a security issue?

It'd be pretty cool if rsync supported use of O_DIRECT on platforms that support it, with or without my odirect package: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/odirect/ I say this because rsync is sometimes used to move a mountain of data, just once. So there's little point in rsync toasting one's buffer cache. I gather there's something like O_DIRECT on windows too, but it's

Is it possible to mix maildir and mbox formats with dovecot? For example, I would like ~/mail to be in maildir format yet keep the inbox (/var/mail/%u) in mbox format. If so, how may I go about this? Or am I stuck not being able to create subdirectories in ~/mail? Cheers, Shane

I configured dovecot on a Fedora Core 2 system - the version that comes with FC2. I was using it with a RHEL 3 NFS server. Dovecot would again and again get stuck trying to grab an fcntl lock, even though I specified that it should only use dotlocks in dovecot.conf. Sometimes it would segfault (leaving things locked?). Often there would be two dovecot imapd processes for the same user.

Is there any way of increasing rsync's block transfer size for when you need to transfer data from one filesystem to another on the same disk? Using a large blocksize tends to decrease track to track seeks. If I put a large dd or something in between two tar's in such a situation, I see over double the throughput on an AIX system (1M vs 64K). Thanks. -- Dan Stromberg DCS/NACS/UCI

We've been using this version of rsync: rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums ...with these options: /usr/local/bin/rsync -a --stats --progress --block-size

Hi, there is an issue left in 0.99.10.5 which (I think) is a problem with imap status flags. It shows up in two places: (1) When new mail is delivered to the inbox, the last read mail changes to "unread". (2) When you move mails from the inbox to another folder with Mozilla (1.6 on win32, Linux, NetBSD), they are not removed from the inbox, effectively performing a copy instead of a

I've tried to write the new mbox code in a way that it could be moved into generic flat-file library with mbox-specific code being implemented on top of that. The code would be useful for all formats that require modifying message headers to store the metadata. How many such are there? I suppose all such formats could be implemented by separating mails into 3 logical parts: - header

I'd like to use rsync on a production box that has a great deal of memory-cached filesystem in use at all times. Is there any way, or any other tool, that will do a "slow" copy? purposefully not busting the cache by copying things as fast as possible? "nice" does not work, of course, as that is a cpu scheduling control. What I want is basically lowest-priority or

I'm trying to switch to using rsync for updating a huge software library containing binaries, text files, symlinks, and so on. We've been using something homegrown which I'm not that happy with - it's a perl script that systems cp and chmod and such. The problem I'm seeing is: target computer: directories ctime-5 and ctime-5b3 are distinct directories source computer:

You could try using an automounter, like autofs, in combination with sshfs. It'll be slower, possibly a lot slower, but it should be more reliable over an unreliable connection. I've been using: remote -fstype=fuse,allow_other,nodev,noatime,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=40,uid=0,gid=0,ro,nodev,noatime :sshfs\#root at remote.host.com\:/ BTW, I'm not sure

Hi, I like to use rsync for backup from Desktop to my nas server. - I can setup an cron job at the server, so rsync starts on the server side to backup from my desktop to the server. But what if I shutdown my Desktop? Can rsync handle interruptions in a good way or is there a better solution? Thanks in advance, Dirk

Included below is a shar archive containing two patches that together: 1) make backup files get their setuid and setgid bits stripped by default 2) add a "-s" option that allows backup files to continue to have these privileges This means that if you update a collection of binaries with rsync, and one or more of them has a local-root security problem, the backup file(s) created when

We're hoping to switch to updating a large software collection with rsync. Sometimes, we'll be using rsync to push security updates, say for setuid binaries with a security hole. In this case, we want rsync to get rid of the old executable, instead of creating a ~ file or whatever. Sometimes, we'll be using rsync to push updates to programs that people want to leave running a long

No, I should've mentioned it: this is Debian unstable x86_64, and wxwidgets is definetely 64-bit. Maybe its just something messed up on my system (had 2.9.1 in /usr/local/). Willtry removing that and reinstalling 2.8. --Edwin
