Hi, I am using kernel 2.6.15.4. On my system, I first created a partition with EXT3 and put some data on it. Later, I deleted the partition, and re-created another partition with the same starting block number and a higher ending block number. I intended to format it with another filesystem, but surprisingly (or maybe just to me), the superblock of the partition had not changed. I could still

All I am use rsync to backup a large filesystem over the internet. I do an incremental backup of the 2 file systems once a day to keep an offsite backup. However, this backup takes about 60 minutes. Are there some tweaks I can do to speed up the backup? Here is the command I run via cron every day: rsync --exclude-from=/home/backups/rsync/attachments-exclude.lst --delete -ave ssh

Hi I use rsync to perform backup on disk on a SunFire 880 with Solaris 8. For performance issues, we launch simultaneously 5 rsyncs on 5 different fliesystems and about 150-200 "cp -p" commands on as many database files. We have been using the same scripts for about 2 months, without problems. The backup is performed on the same server (from filesystem to filesystem on the same

Hi, One feature missing from rsync, and requested on this list before, is on-the-fly conversion of filename character encoding. For example, I often need to sync files having Hebrew filenames from a UTF-8 system (Linux) to an ISO8859-8 system (Cygwin on Windows 2000 using the non-Unicode Win32 interface). Other circumstances surely abound. Attached is a patch against rsync 2.6.2 that adds an

Hi. When I try to use rsync 2.5.7 from a Windows 2000 machine with CygWin and ZoneAlarm Pro 4.5.538, I get this error: Read from remote host myweb.com: Connection reset by peer rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.5.7/io.c(177) And this is the command that I am executing: rsync -vaz

Hello, I would like to replicate one file from one machine to a second one with rsync. After the file is copied ( rsync in read mode ), if the file has changed i must start a small batch, if it has not change I must do nothing. What's the easiest way to do this ? Thanks you Andreas

Hello, i am using currently rsync-2.6.0 with option --log-format=%f to produce a list of the transferred files. This list is then used to generate hard-links for backup-purposes. Now rsync sometimes generates messages like "file has vanished: ..." on STDOUT (_not_ STDERR) which breaks this processing. When using option -q there is no output at all. Is there any way to get a

Anyone syncing say 18-20gb Oracle dbf files..? Jeremy S. Loukinas -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hi, I am pretty new to rsync so this question might have a very trivial answer. Sorry for that then. (using google didn't work though) I want to synchronise the files from my laptop to my machine at work and back from time to time. Both machines have linux (the laptop has fedora core 2 with a 2.6.6 kernel and the remote machine redhat 9 with a 2.6.3 kernel) On the laptop I use rsync

Hi all - is there some magic flag i'm missing that will allow me to rsync a raw device? Not the dev entry, but the device itself? I have a filesystem (backuppc data store) that does not respond well to directory traversal due to an extremely high number of hard links (which generate lots of disk seeks), and probably would not work well with rsync anyway due to a large number of actual

Hi I am using Rsync locally on some machines, however, there are a few machines that require me to backup over FTP, the current system I have in place is very very slow, and I would like to hire someone on this list familiar with backups ($50 sound fine?) and having it run of cron To create me a backup script that works on Rsync to backup specific files/folders on server1 and ssh or ftp to

Hi everyone! rsync 2.5.7 linux RHES v3 We need to sync over 4 Million files, and when we run rsync we run out of memory! :( We were going to batch things, but the build in Batch mode still will use a large amount of memory. Any manualy batching is proving to be harder than you'd think, even with --include and --exclude flags. The flags actually make it still have to recurse the whole

Could i run rsync on a linux server which is connected to a network share (NAS) and replicate the diffs of the files residing on the network share? or does this functionality require block level access i.e Local disk or SAN? Many thanks, Antony. ********************************************************************* This e-mail and any attachment is confidential. It may only be read, copied and

I install rsync in computer and run it as a daemon successfully, but when I run rsync command on another end to connect it. There is a error. The output is : opening tcp connection to 192.168.0.43 port 873 rsync: failed to connect to 192.168.0.43: Connection refused _exit_cleanup(code=10, file=clientserver.c, line=93): entered rsync error: error in

Is it possible to konfigure a passwordless authentifikation in kombination with ssh. for example: to a specific folder on a server named server1 has only user1 access. the user1 only exists on server1. server2 wants to replicate a foler from server1 to himself. the rsync process uses the rsync_user, which exists on both machines. the rsync process asks every time the job runs for the password

Hello, from a server where neither a rsync daemon nor ssh is running I'm trying to backup the whole data with ftp. So my idea was to call rsync like this: rsync -v -a 'ftp://1.2.3.4/' my_folder But this gives me: ftp: unknown host ftp: unknown host ftp: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Okay, as of this point, I think klibc is in quite good shape; my testing so far is showing that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the kernel root-mounting code. That being said, there is guaranteed to be breakage, for two reasons: a. There are several architectures which don't have klibc ports yet. Since I don't have access to them, I can't really do them, either.

Is there any way to disable the checksum block search in rsync, or to somehow optimize it for systems that are processor-bound in addition to being network bound? I'm using rsync on very low power embedded systems to rsync files that are sometimes comparatively large (sometimes a few hundred megs in size or larger), and am finding that just the operation of the checksumming one such file on

Greetings, I have written a patch for rsync-2.6.1pre-2 which adds a --time-limit=T option. When this option is used rsync will stop after T minutes and exit. I think this option is useful when rsyncing a large amount of data during the night (non-busy hours), and then stopping when it is time for people to start using the network, during the day (busy hours). If this patch is accepted it may

Is it possible to do live backups of a running DB with rsync??? I was just talking to livevault.com & they (only on win boxes) say they can grab changes from a client's live DB & sync them remotely. It sounded like BS to me, but I'm neither a DB guy or sync'ing expert. Steve Mallett
