similar to: Potential new option: --delete-during

Hello. Recently, I started using rsync to backup files in my root partition on an Ensim box over to a remote machine. The remote machine 'pulls' from the Ensim box using the following: rsync -arvzx --exclude=/proc --exclude=/tmp --exclude=/mnt --delete --delete-excluded -e ssh 192.168.0.1:/ /bkup/rootpart/ The problem is, if I 'df' the Ensim box, it reports that the entire

OK, I will do that next. I just tried 2.6.1 on both ends, and it died in a similar fashion. -------Original Message------- > From: Wayne Davison <wayned@samba.org> > Subject: Re: rsync 2.6.2 crash > Sent: 24 Sep 2004 11:21:51 > > On Fri, Sep 24, 2004 at 11:09:26AM -0700, jim wrote: > > The server crashed, but left rsync.exe.stackdump: >

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.

OK, I packaged up the current CVS as our first preview release for 2.6.0. You can grab it here: http://samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz The MD5 checksum is: 70e9dea967f083c231b7821ef35aef1b rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz There is not currently a .sig file for the package, but I'm looking into that next. Please test this and let me know if we have any remaining issues

Hi, sorry if this is old stuff, but I did my best to look first... Have been getting errors along these lines: mv mydir mdir.2002 ln -s mydir.2002 mydir Then update mirror with rsync -av --delete-after. Without --delete-after, no problem, with --delete-after, get a code 23. The attached shell script will recreate the error (on my machine, at any rate). Just run it from a clean directory.

Hi, from time to time, in times like today where the whole world is grabbing SUSE-9.2 and/or debian-30r4, I really like to condemn those other anon rsync server admins (you know, the successors of the traditional unix ftp server admins). They usually have within their /etc/rsyncd.conf a line like timeout = <very low> because they are thinking "less" there is "better for

So I'm doing daily backups with rsync, and weekly, I run it with --delete after archiving the whole thing (this way I don't lose any deleted files). All week long this runs fine, but when I add --delete, rsync runs for a few hours then aborts because the box runs out of memory.

Hello Everyone, Would it be posiable to add a "keep alive" option to rsync. The problem I am having is that the connection is dropped while rsync is scanning the local directory. If "null" packets are send to the server every 60 seconds or so, the connection will stay up and the sync will work. Or maybe there is an option that does this already ? Thanks, Pieter De Wit

I'm using 2.6.3pre1 to transfer a rather large Debian archive (126GB, more than 30 million files). It contains about 450 daily snapshots, where unchanged files are hardlinked between the snapshots (so many files have hunderds of links). It's been running for some time now, and I found that while it's far from done, it's already used 165GB on the receiving end. Investigation shows

This is a patch made by the redhat folks. I noticed it in their src.rpm for rsync while I was updating it for 2.5.7. I figure at the worst, it's a nice bit of protection. It would be cool to get this put into CVS. -- Kees Cook kees@kernel.org -------------- next part -------------- --- rsync-2.4.6/main.c.foo Fri Aug 17 11:46:03 2001 +++ rsync-2.4.6/main.c Fri Aug 17 11:45:37 2001 @@

Hello! I need to do rsync between local drives on win32. Rsync works, but it never ends. I started it with -vv and it writes something like: total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 And then it stays forever. :-( Could you help me?

Hi, I only want to preserv symlinks when copying but rsync deletes the leading "/" on the target system or does nothing regarding to the options I use. My Symlink on the Source Filesystem : serviceWeb -> /users/service/.public_html results to: serviceWeb -> users/service/.public_html on the destination Filesystem Has anyone an idea ?? Thank?s Clemens

Hi all Here is the egrep result : egrep "SIZEOF|LONGLONG" build_mipsel/rsync-2.6.3/config.h /* #undef HAVE_LONGLONG */ #define SIZEOF_INT 4 #define SIZEOF_LONG 4 #define SIZEOF_SHORT 2 and the HAVE_LONGLONG config.log result : rsync_cv_HAVE_LONGLONG=cross Is there a problem with this values ? Thanks a lot for your answer Best regards, Florian

When using rsync -avv to recursively copy a local directory on a remote server, and if the remote server has a symbolic link of the same name pointing to some other directory, then that remote symlink is clobbered in favor of the hard-wired path. I looked at the man page and other rsync documentation about copying links, but not of the options seemed to apply in my case. The closest was

Hi, I want to mirror NetBSD on this server: ftp://ftp.univ-orleans.fr/logiciel-libre/netbsd-ftp/ The problem is I dont want to mirror old versions (1.5.x) There are 1.5* branches as subdirs of 'packages' and others at the root of the server called 'NetBSD-release-1-5' and 'NetBSD-1.5.3'. I want to avoid to sync them. The command I use to sync is: - - - - - - - - - - -
