I have the following as a line in a script kicked off from cron: sudo rsync -e ssh -avz /Times_QPS/ 192.168.22.72:/Times_QPS/ --eahfs It logs the output to a log file, however rsync caused the log file to go to an 80gb file and fill up my disk because it threw a mental when a file it went to sync was no longer there! Is there some way to get the sync to ignore errors? -Jason

I am in the habit of syncing my /usr/local tree over several computers (all Mac OS X). Recently my /usr/local tree has doubled in size, from 300,000 files to 600,000 files because I have added a large subversion checkout (TeX Live). As a result, rsync has become a time hog. Instead of a minute or two or so to calculate what needs to be sent over, suddenly this process takes 18-20 minutes,

Hello everybody, maybe someone has also had this issue: I try to copy the root partition "/" to a subdir "/Volumes/System". This is not a cyclic recursion, because "/Volumes/System" is a mounted hard disk partition. So I gave rsync the parameters "-x" for one-file-system, and '--exclude "/Volumes/" ' also: # rsync -ax --showtogo

Hi I am a rsync (on Mac OS X, RsyncX version with extended HFS+/-eahfs forks) beginner (I merely use it for backing up my desktop machine to a bootable external firewire volume, so that I can resume work in case of a harddrive disaster) and I got these messages: mknod "/Volumes/backup/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/var/zopectlsock" failed: Invalid argument mknod

Hi there, I'm using this version of rsync: localhost:~ mzehetle$ /usr/local/bin/rsync --version rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others HFS+ filesystem support for OSX (C)2004 Kevin A. Boyd <http://rsync.samba.org/> Basically incremental backup (--link-dest option) works with a destination on my local volume but not with a

Hi, I am pretty new to rsync so this question might have a very trivial answer. Sorry for that then. (using google didn't work though) I want to synchronise the files from my laptop to my machine at work and back from time to time. Both machines have linux (the laptop has fedora core 2 with a 2.6.6 kernel and the remote machine redhat 9 with a 2.6.3 kernel) On the laptop I use rsync

Hi all! I'm trying rsync synchronizing some directories with about 16.000 files. After the first synchronization, the others are transfering just the changed files, as it is expected to be, except for 1 single file, that is not changed (size or time) and is being transfered in all synchronization. The file is called JSPWiki.war, and is a java war file. I checked the size and times on both

I made a script to backup a folder on a remote server it works manually, I set a cron job to launch the script every 2 mins (for test), I sse in the log this line Mar 13 13:10:01 debian /USR/SBIN/CRON[6302]: (root) CMD (root /usr/bin/backup.sh) but when I sheck the remote server nothing is done, any sugestions pls

Hello R helpers, I would like to automate this code for many files of the same type. But I don´t know how to make it. In particular, i don´t know how to read many files each one as an r object with the name of the file. Then a for loop would be sufficient, right? Many thanks and a happy new year.

I'm getting a "bad address" error which is causing my rsync process to bomb out. I'm running RsyncX 2.1, in daemon mode on the source machine, with a script to pull the information to the backup server. Both servers are Xserves running OS X Server 10.2.8. Rsync target is on an Xserve RAID. The RAID has 350GB free, so I'm not running into a disk full situation. My command

Hi, I am using kernel 2.6.15.4. On my system, I first created a partition with EXT3 and put some data on it. Later, I deleted the partition, and re-created another partition with the same starting block number and a higher ending block number. I intended to format it with another filesystem, but surprisingly (or maybe just to me), the superblock of the partition had not changed. I could still

Hello, I've just spent several hours going over several Google searches trying to find a way to configure rsync to log into a file named "/var/log/rsync.log". So far, every instance where I've found someone asking about rsync logging remained unanswered (which is kind of weird in itself). As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is to setup rsync as a daemon process so

Hi, I make a script which make some call of rsync to connect to a rsync daemon. When I run on a shell, the script work fine. When I run this scripts from a cron-job, the script fail with theses messages : rsync: failed to connect to remote-node: Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94) What's happen ? thanks St?phane

All I am use rsync to backup a large filesystem over the internet. I do an incremental backup of the 2 file systems once a day to keep an offsite backup. However, this backup takes about 60 minutes. Are there some tweaks I can do to speed up the backup? Here is the command I run via cron every day: rsync --exclude-from=/home/backups/rsync/attachments-exclude.lst --delete -ave ssh

I have been trying to use rsyncx to generate a script for rotating backups but it seems to me that the --link-dest option doesn't work properly in my configuration. Instead of creating hard links for all unchanged files it seems that rsync copies everything, as if --link-dest hasn't been specificed. Can somebody clarify what's going on? My script is ptovided below: #rotating backup

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

Hi, Can you help me since upgrading the latest version of rsync on my Xservers I have lost all resouce fork information and I am losing the file types on the backup server. The command I am using is sudo rsync -e ssh -avz /Times_QPS/ 192.168.22.72:/Times_QPS/ Am I missing something simple? -Jason Ferguson *********************************************************************************

Hi I use rsync to perform backup on disk on a SunFire 880 with Solaris 8. For performance issues, we launch simultaneously 5 rsyncs on 5 different fliesystems and about 150-200 "cp -p" commands on as many database files. We have been using the same scripts for about 2 months, without problems. The backup is performed on the same server (from filesystem to filesystem on the same

I get this error when I try to copy a directory with a lot of files: "bash: /usr/local/bin/rsync: Argument list too long" The exact command is: "/usr/local/bin/rsync -rsh=/usr/bin/rsh -r --delete --perms --owner --group /mail/spool/imap/user/wex/* root@192.168.250.68:/mail/spool/imap/user/wex".
