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?

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

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

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. Kuhn" <bkuhn@ebb.org> >

The attached patch adds an option --drop-suid which caused rsync to drop setuid/setgid permissions from the destination files. ie, even if the source file is setuid, the target file will not be. Added as we want to rsync the same files to machines both inside and outside our firewalls. For machines inside the firewall some files should be suid, for machines outside the firewalls they should

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 -- I was very keen to download rsync and give it a whirl with the new --link-dest feature. However, I was terribly puzzled when I couldn't seem to get it working, even though --compare-dest with the same argument would work. It seemed like new files would be transferred even though files existed in the compare-dest/link-dest location; compare-dest would detect them but link-dest would

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

When syncing from Linux to Aix --itemize-changes with --perms lists directories every time because the high-order st_mode bits for directories differ between the two systems, and itemize() isn't masking them with CHMOD_BITS. Here is a fix, tested with 2.6.6pre1. PS: I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, please Cc: if you need more info from me. Thanks. --- generator.c.~1~ Thu Jun

This mode is useful when a process is monitoring the log for post-processing of transferred files. With --log-after in local mode, both sender and receiver log to the same log file, so it require --log-file with absolute path. We add %o to the default log format, so it will be easy to tell the logs of the sender from the logs of the receiver: 2023/02/14 14:40:25 [559755] building file list

Why does --link-dest assume -ugp ? This patch removes those assumptions allowing mortal users to use --link-dest for back ups. (I think... I didn't look at the large picture.)

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

I got numerous warnings when building rsync on IA64 (Itanium-2) using Intel C/C++ compiler (see attached). Is this expected?

Hello, i'm using rsync 2.6.0 for daily-syncing some remote AIX 5.2 machine to a local linux (RH 7.3) with using the --link-dest option for saving space on incremental backups. Even if there are no changes on the AIX machine, all files are newly transferred on every new sync. My test scenario (actisi=remote aix machine, actisa=local linux machine): =====> Initial rsync [mma@actisa

In some filesystems, typically optimized for large I/O throughputs (like IBM GPFS, IBM SAN FS, or distributed filesystems in general) a lot of lseek() operations can strongly impact on performances. In this cases it can be helpful to enlarge the block size used to handle sparse files directly from a command line parameter. For example, using a sparse write size of 32KB, I've been able to

We needed the group id bit to always be set on directories when rsync creates them. We always run rsync from a script with just the -ltR options. The destination file system uses acl's to control file access so new files need to inherit the properties of the directories they're in. (This is for IBM's global storage architecture on Aix or Linux). I made the following changes to make

When using --link-dest, this block of code in skip_file causes new copies of files to be created if source and destination file permissions differ, even if -p -o and -g haven't been specified. if (link_dest) { if((st->st_mode & ~_S_IFMT) != (file->mode & ~_S_IFMT)) { return 0; } if (st->st_uid != file->uid || st->st_gid != file->gid) { return 0; } }
