similar to: propagate atimes with rsync-2.6.6 (fwd)

In the past there have been discussions about adding a switch to rsync to preserve the atime on files being copied by rsync. I needed this function for a project I'm working on and decided to invent it. I've attached the diffs. Note that this has the limitations describe in previous emails, namely that preserving atime causes ctime to not be preserved. *** Patch follows *** ***

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

Bradley, and the rsync development team, I came across the following message on the rsync bug tracking system, while searching for just this feature (access time preservation)... http://rsync.samba.org/cgi-bin/rsync/incoming?id=2509;expression=atime;user=guest ... where it is written... > Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 02:59:42 -0500 > From: "Bradley M.

Hi Everyone, The following feature request was received by a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, but perhaps should be enabled only conditionally (as if the argument parser isn't stressed enough).

Dear collegaues, please evaluate the patch attached, which allow to use both --detect-renamed and --fileflags extra features. This is meta-patch which sould be applied to detect-renamed. fileflags patch should be applied first, following by the modified detect-renamed patch. It is included in current FreeBSD port, but it seems it would be much more useful to be supported by samba

Strict C99 compilers do not support implicit function declarations or implicit ints, so something like the patch below is needed.

Hello, as of gcc v2.7.2.1, the noreturn attribute needs to be given *after* the prototype declaration and not before, but for gcc v3.x, things changed for this attribute again, since gcc v2.5.x did it the way, newer gcc versions prefer it...

-------- --Multipart_Thu_Apr__8_13:33:51_1999-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hello guys, I always wondered why smbclient keeps timestamp in `put'ting a file but does not keep it in `get'ting a file. Alternative to keep the time stamp in `get'ting file is to use -Tc option or smbtar script, but they are a bit hairy for interactive use, and it can only dump files with an

Hello, since we are using rsync for backing up millions of files in a virtual environment, and most of the virtual machines run on SSD cached storage, i`d be curious how that negatively impacts lifetime of the SSD`s when we do rsync run every night for backup my question: does rsync normal file comparison run to determine if anything has changed change atime of any files ? for me it seems,

schilytools star has the ability to restore ctimes from tarfiles. This is useful when restoring filesystems as root in single user mode, and I thought I'd like rsync to do the same. I started working off the rsync-patches/atimes.diff patch but noticed that this patch is buggy and presently does not work. (It fails to set the atime and it fails to set the mtime too). Even if this is fixed

Dear All, Along with the files that suddenly disappear, we have a bit of a problem with these that do not. Namely, in my test runs I can see a small but stable set of files, that rsync is repeatedly trying to transfer, and then repeatedly fails to updates their times ; and then the story repeats itself. The situation is illustrated by the log snippet below, where I have changed file names to

Often we need to preserve the information atime conveys, but I have found no way to get rsync to preserve this, nor any hint it is being worked on. It would be great if 'rsync -t' also set atime not just mtime -- or maybe a new option is desired for atime. I don't know if the -X mentioned in "NEWS file from CVS" covers this: > Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver

Hello I am making backup of a Plesk Debian server to /backup using Rsync. My questioin is how can I preserve the ctime, mtime, and atime of original files? Thanks

Hi Folks, This is my first post on nut-upsdev. I would like to share a small patch to enable support for the Powercool PCRACK 1200VA ups. I found that the UPS uses megatec/krauler protocol but is sensitive to the USB buffer length passed to it in requests via usb_get_string(), and usb_get_string_simple(). If the buflen is greater than 102 then the ups will reply to requests but does not

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the
