G'day, I'm backing up production MySQL database servers. The tables are almost all MyISAM. My plan is to use MySQL binary logging and then rsync the binary logs offsite hourly. The binary log files are only appended to, with new queries logged at the end of the file. So I'm assuming the rsync algorithm will be highly effective at reducing the bandwith required to transfer these

Hi there, How accurate is the aproximation R makes to the Chi-Square distribution? For example, if I run: > qchisq(1/1000000,6) [1] 0.03650857 how accurate is 0.0365 compared to the theoretical percentile? What kind of approximations have been made in the software's algorithm? It woudl be useful to know since I am working with tiny percentiles such as one one-millionth and one

Hi all, Bit of a sticky situation - we use rsync to mirror files from a remote staging server to our development server (both on Linux). The mirroring works fine, however, while the rsync process is running, our apache service on the destination system can't access the files. Is rsync locking the destination file system while it checks the files or something? Anyone got any idea how I

-q seems to override -v completely, but when combined with --progress, a single newline is output when there are no updates transferred; but if a file *was* updated nothing at all is output. It seems that there might be some short-circuited code when nothing is trasferred, but that a check for quiet mode is skipped somehow. Paul

I had noticed the --link-by-hash patch a short while back & decided it was time to experiment with it. Sadly, its behaviour is considerabely different from what I expected - to the point that I find it unusable in its current form. I had hoped to use it both for my rotating backups & for my (unofficial) slackware mirror. For the test itself, I did the following: - created 3 directories in

I am trying to set up rsync as a daemon under WindowsXP (professional) in order to be able to backup this machine on to a linux server. I am struggling with an issue I don't understand. I don't know whether it is an Rsync issue or a Cygwin issue, so I am asking both mailing lists. My WindowsXP machine has ip address 192.168.0.25 and name rabbit.home My Linux machine has ip address

Hi, everyone I am trying to estimate 3 parameters for my survival function. It's very complicated. The negative loglikelihood function is: l<- function(m1,m2,b) -sum( d*( log(m1) + log(m2) + log(1- exp(-(b + m2)*t)) ) + (m1/b - d)*log(m2 + b*exp(-(b + m2)*t) ) + m1*t - m1/b*log(b+m2) ) here d and t are given, "sum" means sum over these two vairables. the parameters

Hi, I need a small information on the way rsync copies the files . I am writing the files , links to a list file and I am passing the list file to rsync for copying to remote machine.

Hey guys This is probably for Armin, but I thought maybe someone else might have something I could try. I'm having a problem with one of my Eicon Diva V-4BRI cards and I'm trying to work out if its a driver configuration error, card failure or telco problem: I have an Asterisk box running -- the Eicon drivers see all four ports on my card, capi.conf is configured with all four ports

Dear friends, a newbie here. we have two webservers, a and b, both of them with rsync installed. We would like to rsync one directory on one server with another directpory on another server. What I do is to go to one of the server (server a) as root using ssh, navigate to the directory, and write rsync -avz username@serverb:directory/ ./ But it does not work. Am I doing something

I've just subscribed, but a search of the archive doesn't indicate this has been handled before... Is there a way to get rsync to not create a new file while transferring and then rename it, but to instead update the existing file in place, i.e. simply write those blocks that have been updated and leave the rest alone? That would be ideal for what I wanted rsync for, namely updating

[ see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426191 ] The text in the description of the --append option may lead one to believe that files that are shorter on the receiving side won't be updated, due to the following text: ... Only files on the receiving side that are shorter than the corresponding file on the sending side (as well as new files) are sent. ... IMHO

There's a bug reported in Debian about the tty being screwed up by wierd filenames, see http://bugs.debian.org/bug=242300 On the one hand, find will also do this. On the other hand, ls will replace such chars with a question mark. Upon inspection, it appears to be fairly simple to also do this in rsync (in the rwrite() function). Here's a patch. Opinions? Perhaps don't do it

Hey all, A customer is configuring an offsite rsync backup. Their Internet pipe is fairly slow (DSL) but they have some very large files to backup. Their backup window is only after business hours. If one of these large files starts rsyncing at midnight, and the backup window ends before the file is complete (i.e. the rsync process stops), will it complete the rest of that file the
