Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch

Hi! I'm using rsync to do hourly backups ov a number of server. To let the users on the servers selectively drop parts of their filesystem for backups, I'm using a method utilizing a "Stop-file" In a dir that is not going to be backed-up the user pase a file named ".no-more-backups". Before running rsync I do a find / -name ".no-more-backups" to get a list

Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

Dear all, I downloaded samba3.0-alpha21 and followed each step in "ADS-HOWTO.txt". But mapping a network directory from a Windows client failed (step 4: Test your server setup). (Succeeded in other steps.... Including step 5) Only local users in the samba server can access the share folder. (Please refer to the smb.conf listed below...) And "#kadmin -p administrator" fails

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

Hello R-Users i'm stuck with the following problem: i want to add a trend line to a scatterplot. the x axis is a time line. well it doesnt work, it seems that the function abline is not able to handle the fact, that i used the column Date as a factor. this is the script: data<-read.table('DO_hapa_all_morning.txt',header=T,as.is=2) attach(data) names(data)

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

Hi All, I've been using the great file-attr-restore script with rsync to get around problems with uid's on a portable hard drive... It's the perfect solution for me. (for those that haven't seen it,you can get it here: http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore ) Anyway, I found a small bug in the script. file-attr-restore fails for file names with dollar

Hi rsync devs and users, I want to use rsync to synchronize home directories on two PCs. It works fine if I start rsync after working on a host each time I leave. But instead of operating modes "host1 -> host2" and "host2 -> host1" I would like to have a mode "host1 <-> host2" to allow synchronizing at any time -> Scenario: - on host1 files A,B have

Back in June I posted about the trouble I've been having backing up some local directories and I'm no further ahead than back then. Link for that discussion: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-June/017882.html In summary: I'm copying nearly a million small files from the main disk in a server to another disk in the same machine. Still on this server, but at a different time,

Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. Here is my situation: I am using rsync over the internet for several hundred clients to keep them in sync with a master repository of files. The rsync daemon is listening on port 80, because most of the clients are behind firewalls that only allow outbound port 80 (and other common ports). This works fine for most of them

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a problem/conflict with -p, but I think it could be a useful feature. -- Aaron W Morris

HI all, efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks Suppose I know the list of files that are changed What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list. Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from

hello all, i am very much excited about rails and would be delighted to work on it. However, before i can use it for commercial development, i need to know that it has requeired support for some issues, for example, is it fully support excel and pdf reporting, if so, can i relay on it. In j2ee we use display tag library for showing list. Does rails have anything like that? Does it have any library

We're investigating the possibiliy to migrate our mail system from Sendmail+Cyrus to Sendmail+Dovecot. The system must use authentication against Windows AD (supposedly using LDAP) and must use virtual hosting. So far we managed to work around a bug reported in [1], and IMAP/POP3 authentication on LDAP works OK. LDAP auth is set up using binds (Cyrus and Ejabberd authenticate against the

hi there, i have a rsync server running in deamon mode, with a 1000 plus clients connecting to it to retrieve files. the problem is that when the clients connects the server has many rsync processes running on it, each of which is around 3.8mb each. Basically the server is running out of memory and grinding to a halt. is there anyway of controlling this or is adding more memory the only option?
