Hi! I am running rsync 2.6.4 (on Debian sarge) and I am experiencing a strange behaviour. I am trying to create an identical filetree on the same filesystems with the single files being hardlinks to the source like this: rsync -vaH --progress --delete --stats --numeric-ids -x --link-dest=/path/to/filetree/ /path/to/filetree/ /path/to/current/ /path/to is one filesystem. This creates hardlinks

Hi, i use rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 and expierienced the following problem. When using --link-dest=DIR with DIR on the startup volume everything works fine. If DIR is a volume on an external drive many files are copied instead of creating hard links. hardlinks are create e.g. fom .jpg files and from .rtf files but not from .doc files and many other files. The

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

Hi. This is bug report and simultaneously urgent asking for help. I am trying to write my rsync wrapper script, which will create minutely snapshots of my data using --link-dest. I want this script to be robust, it should work even if I do suspend/hibernate/reboot without notifying the script about this actions, it should work if I make hard-reset of the computer and if I disconnect network. Also

Hi! It's me again with another --link-dest issue: I am using dirvish (www.dirvish.org) to create daily backup on disk images. dirvish is using rsync with --link-dest pointing to the last good image. This creates images with hardlinks to unmodified files. So far so good. Now I want to create a "current" filetree with hardlinks pointing to the last image. rsync -vaH --delete

I am trying to use rsync for making snapshots, sharing hardlinks at the destination using the --link-dest option. In conjunction with this, I would like for --dry-run to report some reliable-ish number for how much space it is going to consume at the destination so that I can arrange to free such space prior the launching rsync "for effect". Right now, that isn't working: #

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

Hourly I have an rsync job backup /home to /home/backup. I have 24 directories (one for each hour): home.0 ... home.23 Here is the script I am running via cron: #! /usr/local/bin/bash dest=`date +%k | sed 's/ //g'` linkdir=`date -v-1H +%k | sed 's/ //g'` chflags -R noschg /home/backup rm -rf /home/backup/home.$dest rsync -ahHP --numeric-ids --delete --stats --link-dest=../

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.

Greetings All, I've been thinking about the current behavior of the --link-dest=DIR option. In the absence of --delete, ALL members of DIR should be linked to the destination (aside from those that are changed). If not, there should at least be a --no-link-dest-delete option. (This latter option might be better to avoid disrupting the behavior of current rsync commands) My rational: This

Hi, I want to use rsync to make daily backups using hard-links in this way: rsync -av --delete --link-dest=../backup_old ./source/. ./backup_new This works great, but the problem is, that rsync does not show correctly what action it performs (-v option). It shows correctly all new and changed files/folders, but it does not show files that were deleted. This works only if I do not use the

I've got a problem for which the combination of -R and --link-dest doesn't seem to be quite enough---and I may have discovered a few small bugs as well; test cases are below. [And if someone has a scheme for doing this that doesn't involve rsync at all, but works okay, I'm all ears as well---I'm not the first with this problem.] Here's my problem: I unfortunately need to

Hi all, I have just migrated my tooling from version 2.6.9 to 3.0.0. Unfortunately my script generated an error message during the execution. Because this command was working perfectly in the previous version I suspect this could be a bug. This is the command that I am executing: rsync -av --link-dest=20080313/ --compare-dest=/data/20080313/ 20080313/ /data/20080314/ It just

Using: # rsync --version rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30 Copyright (C) 1996-2009 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

No. Now there is no --inplace. So, rsync will never write new file directly into old one (without unlinking). If there already is old file and it needs updating, then rsync will write into something like .file-He4gw, and then it will rename this file to its right name. This new file will not have any hardlinks to old files == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia
