similar to: mirroring with rsync

As root, I am trying to mirror a Redhat 7.3 Linux user area onto another Redhat 7.3 Linux box using rsync. This is using the following type of command: rsync -a -v --stats --safe-links However, rsync cannot mirror most of the user area because of the default permissions for the user areas. e.g., opendir(user1): Permission denied opendir(user2): Permission denied drwx------ 3 user1

A friend of mine recommended checking out the Vyatta project. I was reviewing their website and saw endorsements of their product running on both Vmware and Xen. In fact, they have a Vmware virtual image and a beta XenServer image. However, I am running a typical Debian Lenny 64 DomU installed through the repositories. According to their installation documents, it states that the ISO can be

hi, I have an 20G archive of pic files which would have to be mirrored onto another server. It contains large JPEGs, around 10k files, one of the servers is located in Boston, the another is in Budapest, Hungary. I use rsync rsync://remote_box/remotedir localdir/ -zcvr --progress --size-only The issue is that the remote server sends the filelist very slow. Looking into the rsyncd process with

Hello guys, we have a production server named prod-server we have a mirror server named storage-server . I want to mirror a downloadsite on production server to a mirror server , but i want to keep all files from production server on mirror server . More explicitly. If i will have a file named "myproduct.exe" on production server , which is allready mirrored on mirror server , and i

I'm running a mirror of several repositories that are fetched using separate rsync runs. Since some of those repositories are hosting related files, I'm using the hardlink utility[1] in order to save disk space. However, I've noticed an issue that may lead to potential file metadata inconsistencies when using hardlink. Consider the following scenario: - two repositories (rep_a and

I am trying to rsync between two linux boxes, but one of the linux boxes is using samba to map a share from a windows SAN onto it's file system. Rsync quit working properly when I changed the source directory from a local ext3 filesystem to the windows share mapped onto the filesystem. This setup may be kind of odd, but I need to keep user's data on the SAN and I also need the linux box to

We have a CentOS 3 server with about 300GB of data on an ext2 filesystem that we need to mirror onto a new drive, which we're then going to pull out and put into a second server. A straight disk-to-disk copy (with rsync, tar, or "cp -a" doesn't much matter) manages about 75MB per minute, which would take almost three days, and the system gets very sluggish while such a copy is

I have a working CentOS5 installation on server A's first SATA drive (sda). I had an empty SATA drive on that server (sdb). I was asked to mirror the installation of server B (installed on first SATA drive, sda), also running CentOS5, to the second drive (sdb) of server A. I am unsure what should be done after mirroring to get the new system boot. What I have done already: - On server

G'day, I'm in the process of fixing a long broken rsync backup on a couple of servers. The old system rsync'd a Linux (CentOS 5) server onto a Opensolaris/OpenIndiana server but didn't worry about ownership or permissions, across an expensive WAN link. All the ownerships and permissions are different to the original box on the OI box. I now have a virtual CentOS 5 box that I

Is there any chance this can be added into the distribution as it sounds really nifty. Another suggestion unless I have read the following - would it be useful to have a command option in rsync to generate the file list by doing the "find" and outputting into a standard format? (As this would make it less OS specific or kludgy?) Cheers, Lachlan. At 16:06 19/11/01 -0500, you wrote:

I am trying to use rsync along with find to quickly copy changes to mirrors for some web sites. The basic idea is: 1 look for files newer than X >> export-file 2 rsync --include-from=export-file remote-server:/remote-path Simple enough. Unfortunately, I can't get this to work. Step 1 works well enough. However, when I use rsync it appears that rsync is excluding the files I added

The patch for CESA-2017:2563 announced at https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-August/022529.html is only available in the centos 6.9 repo. It is missing for the generic centos-6 repo at http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/Packages/. Typically this repo contains all the latest patches for the latest minor release, but it's missing the new version of openssh. I

I was about to ask how to get this to work, but I think I might have solved it with another last look down the documentation before I clicked on the send button. I have an annoying little problem known as the iriver T60 audio player. It plays Ogg files from my PC perfectly well, but only in the same order in which it thinks they were copied onto its flash memory. It makes no attempt to sort

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies. Also, thank you for pointing out that I should have been looking in updates, not os. That makes perfect sense, but I got hung up on the fact that it was missing from os. Anyway, that led to me discovering that on one of my internal mirrors the updates repo hadn?t synced in a couple months, which was ultimately the cause for the missing package in that

I figured I try if I can mirror the base and updates repos locally. There's no tutorial for that, only one about creating your own repo of packages which is not the same. So, I just mirrored all the stuff with wget and changed the baseurl in the repo files and hoped that's enough. Works. So easy you don't need a tutorial. *But* I then realized that the updates directory contains

I have started mirroring various cvs archives such as gcc, but I have started wondering/worrying about the validity of doing this. If the cvs archive is busy and potentially subject to many accesses during the rsync process, is the mirrored copy going to be valid/consistent? Any information/help greatly apprieciated Andrew Walrond

Hi, I have sent this mail to info@puppetlabs.com and received no answer, so I''m posting here as well; I hope somebody at PuppetLabs will be able to help. I have a local mirror of apt.puppetlabs.com which has been broken for at least a few days: the apt/dists/ subdirectory only contains symlinks to non-existent files.

Hi everyone I am currently testing Solaris 11 Express. I currently have a root pool on a mirrored pair of small disks, and a data pool consisting of 2 mirrored pairs of 1.5TB drives. I have enabled auto snapshots on my root pool, and plan to archive the daily snapshots onto my data pool. I was wondering how easy it would be, in the case of a root pool failure (i.e. both disks giving up the
