similar to: bug with --link-dest ?

Hi! It's me again with another --link-dest issue: I am using dirvish (www.dirvish.org) to create daily backup on disk images. dirvish is using rsync with --link-dest pointing to the last good image. This creates images with hardlinks to unmodified files. So far so good. Now I want to create a "current" filetree with hardlinks pointing to the last image. rsync -vaH --delete

Hi! Is it possible to avoid this error condition by specifying a command line option? I haven't found an obvious one in the manual. Background: We are using rsync for a live backup of our home directories. Emails are stored in Maildir format within the homedirectories. The rsync process is running for some time and in the meantime emails get deleted because users still have IMAP access. The

Hello, Why if I do in my home directory: rsync -av --link-dest=sources/ sources/ backup.0/ that's don't make hardlinks, but copy. rsync -av --link-dest=/home/maxim/sources/ /home/maxim/sources/ /home/maxim/backup.0/ is work properly and I get hardlinks. I'm use Debian 3.1 and rsync version 2.6.4 protocol version 29. Thanks, Maxim.

Hi, i use rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on Mac OS X 10.6.3 and expierienced the following problem. When using --link-dest=DIR with DIR on the startup volume everything works fine. If DIR is a volume on an external drive many files are copied instead of creating hard links. hardlinks are create e.g. fom .jpg files and from .rtf files but not from .doc files and many other files.

Hi. This is bug report and simultaneously urgent asking for help. I am trying to write my rsync wrapper script, which will create minutely snapshots of my data using --link-dest. I want this script to be robust, it should work even if I do suspend/hibernate/reboot without notifying the script about this actions, it should work if I make hard-reset of the computer and if I disconnect network. Also

Hi (especially Wayne), ftp.gwdg.de is rsyncing most of the data from about 500 other rsync servers. Especially during the general "high traffic" phases like the release of a new Knoppix ISO or a new SUSE distribution or a new KDE release, I see timeouts with other servers which have maximum traffic at that time. There is a general scheme: 1. rsync is building the data base of the

I'm a database noob, and it really seems like it would be overkill for my setup: I just want to proxy all connections from my DMZ to my internal mail server -- same internal server for all users. I used to use perdition for this set up, but am having issues getting it to play nicely with my new servers. Can I bypass all of the SQL stuff and just have dovecot forward all POP/IMAP

I'm using Dovecot (+postfix) to host some personal imap accounts on a private server (Maildir format). I've got one account that receives mostly automated mails, and I want to be able to purge messages beyond a given date (say 30 days). I know that since maildir uses flat files, I can literally just delete messages doing something similar to the following with bash: for i in $(find

No. Now there is no --inplace. So, rsync will never write new file directly into old one (without unlinking). If there already is old file and it needs updating, then rsync will write into something like .file-He4gw, and then it will rename this file to its right name. This new file will not have any hardlinks to old files == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

I am trying to use rsync for making snapshots, sharing hardlinks at the destination using the --link-dest option. In conjunction with this, I would like for --dry-run to report some reliable-ish number for how much space it is going to consume at the destination so that I can arrange to free such space prior the launching rsync "for effect". Right now, that isn't working: #

Please CC me. I'm not subscribed. Attached is a patch against 2.5.4pre1 CVS current to add the --link-dest option so rsync will create hardlinks for unchanged regular files to a directory on the destination. This is like --compare-dest except that the result is not a sparse tree. Also included is extension to --(ex|in)clude-from to allow - for stdin. Could one of the maintainers please add

Hi! I am currently testing a setup with dovecot's lda, the cmusieve plugin, pysieved and the avelsieve plugin for squirrelmail. The issue I am stumbling upon is that avelsieve is generating folder names including the namespace prefix when creating "fileinto" rules. E.g.: A rule: If the header "Precedence" contains "bulk", then file it into the folder

Hi! We are running dovecot-imapd on Debian sarge out of the backports.org packages (version 1.0.rc15-1~bpo1). We have ~ 80 clients using secure IMAP. I understand that imap-login has to run for every SSL connection. Thus I already increased the max value for the number of imap-login processes. But unfortunately dovecot is unresponsive from time to time. Where can I tune the installation? Do I

I'm new but am already starting to accumulate utility functions for the fairly specialized kinds of data files with which I work. I'd like to keep those functions in a single folder, or filetree rooted at a specific folder under my $HOME (I'm running linux), for ease of * source()-ing * git commit to bitbucket * scp to clusters I'm wondering, 1 is there a canonical location for

Hi, is there a recommended groupware (email + calendar + address book + syncing with mobile devices) on top of an existing dovecot installation? Most existing commercially supported groupwares come with their own mail storage engine. I would like to keep dovecot as the email storage engine because of the maildir format which greatly helps with backup & restore. Regards -- Robert Sander

Hello, I have an el-cheapo shared hosting account on Dreamhost, and have had it for a very long time. For the most part everything usually works fairly well, considering I do keep a lot of folders, and mail, on some of my accounts. They are running dovecot, but still don't have a response as to the version, or doveconf -n output yet. My problem is, one of my most used folders, which was
