Hello, i'm using rsync 2.6.0 for daily-syncing some remote AIX 5.2 machine to a local linux (RH 7.3) with using the --link-dest option for saving space on incremental backups. Even if there are no changes on the AIX machine, all files are newly transferred on every new sync. My test scenario (actisi=remote aix machine, actisa=local linux machine): =====> Initial rsync [mma@actisa

When using --link-dest, this block of code in skip_file causes new copies of files to be created if source and destination file permissions differ, even if -p -o and -g haven't been specified. if (link_dest) { if((st->st_mode & ~_S_IFMT) != (file->mode & ~_S_IFMT)) { return 0; } if (st->st_uid != file->uid || st->st_gid != file->gid) { return 0; } }

Hi -- I was very keen to download rsync and give it a whirl with the new --link-dest feature. However, I was terribly puzzled when I couldn't seem to get it working, even though --compare-dest with the same argument would work. It seemed like new files would be transferred even though files existed in the compare-dest/link-dest location; compare-dest would detect them but link-dest would

Hello, I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh. This is what I wrote yet: src="/vrmd/webserver/" today=`date +%F` #link_dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/2004-09-05" link_dest="../2004-09-05" dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/$today" rsync -av -e ssh --delete --link-dest=$link_dest $src $dest in 2004-09-05 (on the dest-server) is the

Updated to current cvs without the --exclude-from - patch. This patch allows specifying a --link-dest path similar to --compare-dest except that unchanged files are hard-linked to the --link-dest path instead of producing a sparse tree. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.

Please CC me. I'm not subscribed. Attached is a patch against 2.5.4pre1 CVS current to add the --link-dest option so rsync will create hardlinks for unchanged regular files to a directory on the destination. This is like --compare-dest except that the result is not a sparse tree. Also included is extension to --(ex|in)clude-from to allow - for stdin. Could one of the maintainers please add

Why does --link-dest assume -ugp ? This patch removes those assumptions allowing mortal users to use --link-dest for back ups. (I think... I didn't look at the large picture.)

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, I needed to filter content of files (encrypt), before they are sent over the network to backup server. The easiest way to do this was modifying Kyle Jones's "--dest-filter" patch. Somebody was asking there this feature in the past, so I'm sending this patch to list. Implementation details: -filtering disables rsync alogrithm -source filter makes temporary files in /tmp

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.

(I'm not sending this to dirvish@pegasus because I think that this message applies more to rsync's --link-dest option than to just dirvish.) I recently noticed a huge spike in dirvish network usage and traced it to files whose permissions had been changed. (with rsync v2.5.6) I understand and agree that a --link-dest copy of a source file cannot be hardlinked to, but couldn't a

Hello, (I found a post in the archives titled "link_dest checks perms despite no -p -o or -g" on April 7th, which might be related - not sure...) I'm trying to get a rotating daily backup going with previous days kept as hard links to save on network transfer and disk space. The plan: on day N, rsync to blah/N/, using --link-dest=../<N-1> (modulo 7 or whatever). My test

Hi, I'm having a problem using --link-dest and --hard-links when the fs hits the hard link limit (link(2) returns EMLINK). Using rsync 3.0.7 an error is thrown and the target file is not created. Glancing at git head it _looks_ like things could now be a little nicer. Perhaps the target file is copied instead of hard linked when hardlinking fails -- I've not tested it. Anyway, the

Working with rsync 3.0.2, it appears that rsync isn't unlocking files before setting the file attributes when those files already exist. This generates error messages on subsequent such as: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("locked_file","test_xattr") failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: rsync_xal_clear:

Hi, I'm having a MAJOR issue with an rsync backup script that is actually OVERWRITING the files that it should be backing up! The thing is, the same script (with different source/destination variables) runs FLAWLESSLY on another file server! Background: 2 OS X client computers running 10.4.11 (1 intel, 1 PPC). both are running rsync v2.6.3. rsync is backing up from one firewire HD(afp

Greetings, I am currently having a problem using smbclient (Samba v2.05a) running on Solaris 2.5.1 to restore a tar file from a tape drive onto a Win NT share. smbclient works successfully when using a tar file on disk, but is skipping the tar file (created by a third party) on the tape drive. The command used is as follows: smbclient //celeborn/test -U peter -T x /dev/rmt/0 The problem

Dear R-devel, I would like to launch the Rgui.exe from a Fortran console application (we will call this FortranCon.exe), that I have written myself. To do this, I send the command line "C:\Program Files\R\R-X.X.X\Rgui.exe" (where X.X.X is the version number) as an argument to the Windows API function CreateProcess (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425(VS.85).aspx)

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the
