similar to: rsync eating bandwidth without doing anything

Sorry, my question was whether or not this issue has been resolved. Thanks Hello, I am having problems with rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "dirname" No such file or directory (2) stat dirname No such file or directory Which is the same problem reported in the link below: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg16446.html rsync

Hello. I would like to transfer files which have changed on another box. The rsync man page says: --size-only ..This is useful when starting to use rsync after using another mirroring system which may not preserve timestamps exactly.. Which is my situation. My problem is that the size-only switch (clearly) ignores files with different content, but that have the same size. I'd like to

Hi friends, We are using centos4.0 on Dell Machines. Everytime we use top command on one of the systems, we see system usage is b/w 75.-80% and we are not able to trace who is eating this much system cpu. 02:00:06 up 13 days, 5:39, 3 users, load average: 7.12, 7.25, 7.34 76 processes: 68 sleeping, 6 running, 0 zombie, 2 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq

Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage (99%) and keep running like that for days? I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel. Below is the current top report. Strangely, the PDC still responds in reasonable good response times to heavy network duty.traced the log.%machine name% and didn't find anything . I haven't tried to restart smb

Hi, I've recently setup a new server for our public libraries. For the last two years, this has been my first "big" job, since it involves networking eleven small to medium size public libraries. There was a hiccup some time ago when the administration hiring me wanted to do it on their own, but it took them less than two weeks to get the server hacked and lose everything. So

I've trying to do a backup from a remote host to a local machine via rsync using the following configuration: Remote host (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES3): $ uname -srmpi Linux 2.4.21-47.EL i686 athlon i386 $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8) $ rsync --version rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29 Local machine (Mac OS X 10.4.8, Intel): $

I have been trying for quite a while now to understand why is the flist.c:f_name() function implemented using static buffers. Anyone care to comment? The immediate problem is that any call to f_name overrides the previous content (well, obvious). This, combined with the fact that several function calls are made with the result of f_name(file) results in problems handling hardlinks - and

Hello, I've looked through all the postings and can't seem to find an answer to my delema. I have tested this on an XP and win2k box and get the same results. I'm trying to rsync a fairly large directory (approx. 1.6 GB) from a windows machine to a linux box for backup purposes. The process hangs at the same point everytime. When I try to rsync smaller portions of the same large

Hello, I am mirroring the debian tree using rsync. I realised following bug. Version: 2.5.5-0.2 on Debian GNU/Linux.

Hey guys, I've been working with rsync for the last couple weeks and I really need some help here. Linux to Linux transfers are working beautifully, but for the life of me I can't get transfers from win2k to work. I have the exact problem that was reported by Mark de Jong on Tue, 16 Jul 2002. I'm using the lastest version of cygwin, with rsync 2.5.5 and ssh 3.5p1 for my tests. The

Hi, I am trying to use rsync to migrate homefolders from one server to another. For this I use: > rsync --rsh="ssh -l root" -vaz beaucent.ling.umu.se:/export/home/ . Which works fine until I get to some files where the user has, unfortunatelly, used a non-ascii character in the file name: --- snip -- ...

Hi all. I have a strange issue with sync'ing from a USB-attached ext4 file system on one machine, to a USB-attached ext3 file system on another. The sync works fine (a few thousand files). If I run it again straight away, or a few minutes later, rsync reports no action required. But if I wait for a few hours and run it again it copies all the files again. I'm trying to determine

The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to --ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a --dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination with transient increments in dry_run; this caused

I am getting a handful of these errors, and I am not sure why. The directories in question have rights like this: drw-r--r-- 2 osstbb osstbb 42 2008-05-02 00:04 12981826/ As root, why would it matter if it has executability? I can read it just fine on the server. Or is it an issue when it tries to create it on the -client- ? Is there a way to fix this? I can chmod 0755 the dirs on the server

We're having a problem trying to set up rsync to sync between a couple of sites. This is NetBSD 1.5.1_ALPHA on the remote end (eftp) and 1.4.1 on the local end. The rsync versions appear to be identical, as shown in the output. Here is the full command being used: rsync -r -C --exclude .snapshot -e /usr/pkg/bin/ssh -vvv --delete \ eftp.redback.com:/home/ftp/customers /service/eftp/ And
