similar to: update with -K?, ignore symlinks

Hi folks, I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R (--relative) and -H. so far ok but: I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant directory names on target. How can I achieve that? I thought -k

I have found an unwanted feature of rsync 2.5.5. It has to do with soft links and the --delete option in archive mode. The following shows how to reproduce the error. Provide a soft link that refers to a parent directory. %> /bin/ls -lR /tmp/src /tmp/src: total 16 16 drwxrwxr-x 2 wke sys_admin 239 Sep 17 16:18 dir1/ /tmp/src/dir1: total 32 16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 wke

Hello, I'm totally new to this list, so I hope I don't break all the rules. :) I've looked through the archives (and google), and I really can't find the answer to my question. I'm trying out the 'detect-renamed'-patch, and I've encountered some odd behavior. I've applied the patch to both rsync-2.6.9 and rsync-3.0.0pre7, and it's the same behavior.

Hello, I would like to have a full repository, say, holding files full/a.txt (version 1) full/b.txt (version 1) full/c.txt (version 1) and a repository of updates, for example new/b.txt (version 2 - newer) Then, I would like to call rsync [flags] new/ full/ destination to get destination/a.txt (v.1) destination/b.txt (v.2) destination/c.txt (v.1) This simple case works

When I do rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \ /dir1/dir2/dir3 machine:/dir1/dir2/dir3 I get /dir1/dir2/Backup/dir3/... /Backup/dir3/dir4/... i.e. the tree under 'dir3' (my source tree) gets created under .../Backup. This is fine. But when I do the same thing with a single file like rsync -av --backup --backup-dir=/dir1/dir2/Backup \ /dir1/dir2/file

I have noticed that the contents of per-directory .cvsignore files apply outside their subtrees when using --cvs-exclude in rsync 2.6.0. In the results below, notice how dir1/.cvsignore is applying to a file in dir2. There is no ~/.cvsignore, and the CVSIGNORE variable is unset. % ls -AFR .: dir1/ dir2/ ./dir1: .cvsignore file1 ./dir2: file2.foo % cat dir1/.cvsignore *.foo % /usr/bin/rsync

Hi, I'm running rsync-3.0.4 on my UNIX system. I've just updated from rsync-2.6.9. I'm facing a general problem with the execution of files during a transfer process. The situation: 2 Directories (dir1 and dir2) on one machine with a some files in dir1 which shall be translated to dir2. rsync does not correctly recognize dir1 and dir2 as directories. It tries to transfer dir1 as a

Hi, I'm using the following command to move files from a to b: rsync -avvvv --remove-source-files --ignore-existing /path/to/dir1/ /path/to/dir2 >> logfile dir2 isn't empty so I only move files from dir1 to dir2 that don't exist already. Every so often rsync stops in the middle and doesn't continue with the result that I have to kill it. The last time it happened, rsync had

Hi all!! I'm experimenting a set of problems when trying to connect Samba client to windows. I don't have admin rights on the windows side, so I should trust all my winSA admin is telling me. Windows side (server): In the server Side (win2k3), the SA defined a shared resource. The share-permissions tab the "domain users" group has typical permissions, and in the security

Hi List, hope this is not too offtopic, but this bothers me and my backup. My backups are tar jobs in cron, eg: 20 23 * * * tar -zcf /mnt/backupInternalHosts/backup/backup.tar.gz /etc /root /home && touch /tmp/state_backup-backup This always sends me an unwanted email with: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names I consider this a bug because this informal message is

Hello All, I have an off topic question about rsync and was wondering if i can get some kind person help with it.

Hi mabi, Some questions: -Did you by any chance change the cluster.quorum-type option from the default values? -Is filename.shareKey supposed to be any empty file? Looks like the file was fallocated with the keep-size option but never written to. (On the 2 data bricks, stat output shows Size =0, but non zero Blocks and yet a 'regular empty file'). -Do you have some sort of a

Hallo I thought that I need to use `--delete' option for that, but it looks like not. Problem explanation: prompt# ls /tmp/dir1/ /tmp/dir2/ /tmp/dir1/: fil1.txt /tmp/dir2/: fil1.txt fil2.txt prompt# rsync --delete /tmp/dir1/* /tmp/dir2/ prompt# ls /tmp/dir1/ /tmp/dir2/ /tmp/dir1/: fil1.txt /tmp/dir2/: fil1.txt fil2.txt # fil2.txt still exists My question is,

Please help : Strange 'file has vanished' behaviour with rsync on windows. I need to run rsync on windows and sync shares thru UNC names. When I try : rsync -e ssh -av //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. rsync does a copy but says "file has vanished" for every file.

Hi all, I'm running rsync (2.6.2) this way (which do not remove files from the destination side which were removed from the sending side): rsync -vbu --backup-dir=/bkp --stats /dir1/*.fle /dir2 I want to sync all .fle files from dir1 to the dir2 and also remove files from the destination which were removed from the sending side, using no recursion.
