similar to: Confusion regarding rsync vs. rsyncx

Hi. Several months ago, I posted my first pass at a patch to transfer Mac OS X HFS+ metadata (resource forks and Finder metadata) to non-HFS+ filesystems (Linux, Solaris, etc). I finally got a chance to update the patch to reflect suggestions offered on the list. Thanks for the ideas, this version should be a big improvement. The diff and a binary (and a fuller explanation) can be found at:

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

Respected Sir I want to know whther rsync supports resource fork on mac os x. If it doesnt is there any alternative to handle resource fork while doing remote replication between mac and other platforms. Amol Gajewar SPSOFT TECH India

Hi, This is my first post to this list. I have been backing up some files with rsync from My Mac OS X 10.4.7 machine, which uses HFS+ filesystem to a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE machine, which uses UFS2 filesystem. They go across a 100-base-T lan, which has little or no traffic on it. On my Mac, I mount the nfs exported volume on the FreeBSD machine with: $ mount -t nfs moe:/backup

what is the source and destination filesystem? here is some report that rsync has some problem with HFS+ filesystems and "ressource forks": http://quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/ but as you are using ubuntu and not osx i`m curious what`s the problem, so i think we need more information here. regards roland > Gesendet: Freitag, 12.

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?

[Now the horse has left the barn, I decided to finally implement that backup system I'd been thinking about for ages. Disk crashes can be great motivators] [Web-location for the living version of this document: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/] Goal: Producing a working network backup / cloning system for Mac OS X systems. The system can be used for local backups as well, for example to

Good morning list, this is my first question and hope really to get an answer, sorry for my bad english :-( Ok so i have a machine with ubuntu and use as data server for my graphics works. Now i am trying to backup my folder on an external HDD using "rsync" where i save all my data file (file of graphics software, image, font etc.). For this i mount HDD in local and launch command

Hi I am a rsync (on Mac OS X, RsyncX version with extended HFS+/-eahfs forks) beginner (I merely use it for backing up my desktop machine to a bootable external firewire volume, so that I can resume work in case of a harddrive disaster) and I got these messages: mknod "/Volumes/backup/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/var/zopectlsock" failed: Invalid argument mknod

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

I am attempting to backup the Users directory on my desktop running OS X 10.3.6. I am backing up to Jaguar Server 10.2.8. I am using RsyncX version 2.1 on both systems. RsyncX Server is set up to run on both systems however in this instance the Rsync client is my desktop and server is Panther Server. When I kick off an RsyncX session, RsyncX will run for a while, then stop part of the way

Hi, Which version of Mac OS X are you running? If you are on Mac OS 10.5.x then I can only suggest that you try either formating the drive to HFS + or creating a disk image with an HFS+ file system. If you are running Mac OS 10.4.x then ensure that that ACL support is enabled on the drive. The following URL contains information on how to check and enable ACL support :

I'm trying to use rsync to backup some database files on a Linux box to an OS X machine, so I can write them to a tape drive connected to the OS X machine. I'm aware that there are some "issues" about rsync and certain file forks found on HFS+ filesystems, but I'm not sure that should be stopping me from accomplishing what I want to do. I'm using rsync 2.5.5 on both

hi will the official rsync version in future maybe support HFS(+) filesystem, like rsyncx does right now? i ask because the rsyncx version dosen't run on my linuxbox and the feature is only supported if all systems use rsyncx. regards sam

Well, I finagled a system up that works with Mac OS X and Rsync, I configured it in teh following steps: SSH Authentication key logs in without a password to the host machine jarmusch.

Hi Ram, In OS X, some font types (not all) put the font payload in the resource fork. Netatalk provides AFP filesharing, imitating the resource forks by creating secondary files in ?.Appledouble? folders within each folder. Netatalk tracks the resource forks, and other metadata, by keeping a ?Desktop database? at the root of the shared volume ? look for .AppleDesktop, and .AppleDB. You can

I am wanting to rsync over mac files to a freebsd 4.5 box, but have recently found out that rsync does not preserve resource forks, or creator types and maybe some other things. But, has anybody had any experience like this, would tar'ing the files and then rsync'ing that seem a worthwhile solution. There's a lot, so testing is going slowly. Thanks!
