Hi, As the man page says, the --partial flag is to "keep partially transferred files". I'm assuming if I don't have partial flag any partially transferred files should be deleted. However this is not what I'm seeing. Example: (Using a big file so that rsync times a while to run. This gives me time to hit CTRL-C for the SIGINT). > mkdir example > dd if=/dev/zero

I've run into a bug in the IO handling when reading a file. Suppose I have a file that lives on an NFS filesystem. That filesystem is NOT being exported with auth=0 permissions. So, if I try to access a file as root, it successfully opens the file, but subsequent reads fail with EACCES. This produces a destination file full of null bytes. I noticed this with 2.5.7, but checked 2.6.2 as

I've been having problems trying to sync two small partitions (128MB) that may be near to full. If rsync gets a write error (such as is caused when you fill up a partition) during a sync without the use of "-T", it will stop with this error: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes: phase "unknown": Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 3) * Don't link empty files. * Roll over to new file when filesystem maximum link count is reached. * If link fails for another reason, leave

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

> Just curious: what about the rsync+ patch? Thanks for the reminder. I've just committed Jos's rsync+ patch onto the "branch_mbp_rsyncplus_merge" branch. If it works OK and nobody screams I will move it across onto the main tree tomorrow or Wednesday. I see the patch doesn't add documentation about the new options to the man page, so we should fix that in the future.

[I sent this the other day, but it never got approved for the list] I've been having problems trying to sync two small partitions (128MB) that are usually near being full.

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 have awaited the new release inorder to use the -"-partial-dir" option. But after testing it seems that it does not behave like it says on the tin. It will correctly move and rename the interrupted file to the declared directory, but it will not attempt to use it when the client attempts to rsync the file again. I have a Solaris 8 box running as a server (Matthew), and another

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash.

Anyone have an example of an MD4 collision so I can test that case? :) Patch Summary: -1 +1 Makefile.in -0 +304 hashlink.c (new)

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

I've recently encountered this issue which was discussed here about a year ago. I'm not sure if anyone has a fix for this, but I thought I would post my workaround here. Since the topic is old, I'm summarising the problem .. basically it involves rsync creating large numbers of files with a leading ".." when syncing to an apple network share via afp. The essence of the

All callers of robust_rename() call copy_file() if EXDEV is received. This patch moves the copy_file() call into robust_rename().

I'm in the midst of coding a patch set for consideration that will bump the protocol version and have a couple of observations. The current minimum backwards-compatible protocol is 15 but we have code that checks for protocol versions as old as 12. If someone else doesn't beat me to it i'm considering cleaning out the pre-15 compatibility code. A backwards compatibility patch could

There is a small race condition in rsync 2.5.6. When the transfer is finished, and the file is moved into place, there is a short time period where the new file is in place with the wrong permissions. When using rsync on a busy email server to replace the exim config file with a new file, exim will produce several complaints in that short period. This small patch fixes the problem, by making
