Hi all, I'm setting up a backup script for my Mac, and I'm wondering about the rsync ability of dealing with HFS+ filesystem (resource-fork and such...). I've searched the mailing list archive for this topic and I've found some thread regarding it, but it's not clear to me what is the actual situation. Is the HFS+ officially supported? Will it be in the near future?

On Linux, an rsync command and exclude_file contents of: # cat exclude_file /etc/alsa # rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=exclude_file /etc server::module properly excludes /etc/alsa but not any file within /etc's directories that is named alsa. On Windows I don't seem to be able to reliably emulate this: C:\Scripts\Backup\rsyncd>type rsyncd_exclude

hi, i'm trying to use rsync to backup some directories of my box. i.e. i will backup the whole subtree /opt/ except /opt/apache/ and except /opt/kde3. the rest in /opt/ should be copied to my external usb harddisk. but i can't find a way to do this, because apache and kde3 are always included in the backup. here is the rsync-call: rsync --backup --one-file-system \ --delete

I am trying to use rsync to create a mirror of my Linux laptop (Ubuntu Dapper amd-64) onto a USB drive hanging on a Windows 2000 desktop over ethernet. The folder I want to rsync to is /laptop and the USB drive is mounted at /media/smb using the following: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jcj //Devil4/Linux_Backups /media/smb Mounting works fine -- the mount command shows the USB drive as

Referring to the DTrace manual: "Module If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the module in which the probe is located. This name is either the name of a kernel module or the name of a user library. Function If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the program function in which the probe is located." and then ...

I have been unable to figure out how to exclude directories that only exist on the source side when running rsync version 3.0.2 with --relative. Here is an artificial test that shows my problem in case 3). Any help would be appreciated. # mkdir -p /tmp/source/a/b /tmp/source/a/c # touch /tmp/source/a/b/hello /tmp/source/a/c/world 1) Try mirroring both b/ and c/, this works: # rsync -avn

Is there any difference in rsync behaviour between "--exclude /dir/*" and "--exclude /dir/**" (one and two trailing "stars")? Will rsync enter and scan content of dir/ (and thus change access time of files and directories) in any of these examples? Here in list rsync users show both variants in their examples, on practice I see no difference, but maybe there is a

Try to use include list: --include-from=includes.txt I can ssh into rh8 machine and can rsync to machine not using includes file. When I use the include file --include-from=includes.txt + /aBackup/ - /* What I get is: receiving file list ... done wrote 50 bytes read 283 bytes 60. total size is 3021 speedup is 9.07 There are 4,396,416 bytes in the folder...

I wish to rsync an entire Linux tree to another partition for backup while excluding certain directories. /home /var and /usr/local are mounted on separate partitions. How do I specify starting at the root directory? Is // correct? The USAGE section of man rsync and some googling suggest I need a trailing / for the source path. Is the line below correct? rsync -uacHv

I thought this command would do what I wanted, but instead it doesn't transfer any files: rsync -avh --stats --password-file=/var/rsync.passwd --include=Maildir/ --exclude=* mail::root/usr/home /backup/usr/ I want to backup ONLY the /usr/home/*/Maildir directories. I don't want any other files from any other directories to be transferred. I can see in the man page where this is a

This patch allows one to repeat the '-x' option a third time to stop rsync from traversing potentially cyclic bind mounts that are on the same filesystem. For example, the following scenario would cyclically traverse the bind mounts until the OS (Linux in this case) hits a maximum traversal count, thank goodness. Other OSes may traverse the bind mount indefinitely... su cd mkdir

I use rsync in a fairly complex scripted situation and am trying to figure out how to avoid changing ownership/permissions just on the directories specified on the command line (but operate normally for everything underneath). I've been using --relative --no-implied-dirs with some success in other situations, but here it still seems to try to chown the last path component of the

As threatened a while back, there are some exclude/include bugs that I'd like to see fixed in rsync. Here is the patch: http://www.blorf.net/rsync-exclude.patch This fixes the following bugs: - A non-anchored, slash-including pattern with a wildcard needs to be matched at the end of the path (e.g. "CVS/R* should match throughout the tree, not just at /CVS/R*). - A leading

Dear R list members, How to produce barplots anchored to the x-axis (not floating above the x-axis) with a box around? With both following codes, the lower horizontal line of the box is below the y = 0 line: # first code x <- c(1,2,3,4) barplot(x,yaxs='i') box() # second code x <- c(1,2,3,4) op <- par(yaxs='i') barplot(x) box() par(op) The parameter yaxs='i'

Hi, I've read as much as I can regarding the many problems people seem to have with -delete and none of the solutions seems to work for me. I have tried all combinations of using the trailing slash but it seems to have no effect. Does anyone know if -delete can work with -files-from? Here's the code: DIR="/mnt/backup/machine/oracle" FILES=".test_files.files"
