similar to: Fwd: Re: How to use multiple link-dest directories?

Hi guys, I hope this is not considered a stupid question, but it really seems to be something that needs to be covered with a decent example in the man page. I have looked in every piece of documentation I can think of and have found no answer. So I want to use the multiple link-dest directories feature as of 2.6.4. (I am using 2.6.6) My understanding of how this should work is that I can

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

Wayne, I have redone get_local_name again (patch attached), this time to enable rsync to remove a file to make way for a destination directory; this resolves the "surprise" noted in David Tonhofer's diagram 2. I also made it obey --keep-dirlinks when looking for a destination directory and made various rearrangements. Tell me what you think, and if you decide to commit my code,

Rsync people, I am preparing to overhaul my Web site's build system, and I am looking for a convenient way to collect files and directories from various places on my computer and put them at various locations inside a destination directory to be posted to my Web site. So far, my script has been running rsync once for each source, but this is too slow. Is there a way to get rsync to collect

I would like to propose some improvements to rsync's filters. (1) Add a notation that makes a pattern match both a file and everything under it if it happens to be a directory. One possibility: ending a path in //. "+ mydir//" would be equivalent to "+ mydir" "+ mydir/**". Just some syntactic sugar. (2) Add a third sender behavior to "hide" and

Greetings, you kind and wonderful people. I've spent the past few hours or so (read: all day) attempting to get a basic PDC up and running, with no success. I've even gone to the extent of copying John Herpstra's config, which contains all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff, in the hope that he had something I missed. He didn't. I've got one box running debian testing, with

I wrote a patch for rsync 2.6.6 that changes two things: (1) When the receiving rsync creates a file in a directory with a default ACL and `--perms' is off, rsync uses the default ACL instead of the umask to calculate the new file's permissions. All programs that just use `open' and don't do an explicit `chmod' are forward-compatible with default ACLs, but rsync always sets

Today I went to back up my computer to an external disk with rsnapshot. I have two copies of the Linux kernel; a few files differ, but matching files are hard-linked between the two trees to save space. Since I didn't give -H to rsync, it is making a separate file on the backup disk from each hard link on the source. I had the understanding that -H used an O(n^2) algorithm to match up hard

I'm trying to configure Chan_H323 to register with GnuGK... without success... i've failed finding sample configurations. I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can provide sample config of H323.conf and gnugk.ini I am tyring to configure Asterisk as a neighbor in GnuGK. I'm always getting this error on Asterisk.

Rsync people, Tell me if I'm wrong, but rsync seems to have a very serious race condition that would make it risky to transfer files into a directory writable by someone you don't trust if permissions are going to be granted to other people on those files. The rsync receiver creates a half-transferred file with 600 or 700 permissions; then the receiver writes the data and finalizes the

I'm not sure if this falls within the scope of tag data, somewhere else, or if there's any provision for it at all: I have a lot of songs whose native titles are in Japanese. For example, I have a song titled "螟". The filename for this song would be "02 - yume [Dream].ogg" (or even "02 - 螟 (yume) [Dream].ogg".) To automatically name this file, I'd need

I'm seeing some inconsistency in returned timestamps using vorbisfile. I open a file, read some data (grabbing timestamps with ov_pcm_tell), then seek back with ov_pcm_seek(vf, 0) and read it again. The seek lands back on 0, but on the second read through, there's a gap in the timestamps: they jumps up by 2112 frames. This causes my vorbisfile code to insert silence to maintain sync (as

I've found a much better solution; it's standard (in Unicode itself), simple and more flexible: Unicode language tagging. It was made for just this purpose, in fact. A technical description is at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr27/#tag which, like all specs, makes it sound a bit more complicated than it really is. It comes down to this: mark the language of text with U+E0001

Hey rsync people, Here's a really radical idea and a possible future direction for the rsync project to explore. It occurs to me that tar and rsync are closely related in their purposes. "tar -c (blah) | tar -x" can be used to copy files; rsync's setup with a sender process and a receiver process is strikingly similar. The only major conceptual difference is that the rsync

I have an established server initially created with CentOS 6.5 and updated weekly. Last week there was a massive update that I believe upgraded my server to 6.6. I had a number of issues after the upgrade---like my firewall being turned on and blocking all inbound ports. (I have an external firewall.) I've fixed all the issues created by this upgrade except for one. I have a number of samba

It's difficult to programmatically determine the port dynamically assigned by -R 0. The port is output in plain (and presumably localized) text, but I've found that by far the most common use of this is for scripts. Is there currently any sane way to get this information? For the short term I'll probably just parse the plaintext "Allocated port..." message, but that's
