similar to: Skipping hardlinks in a copy

I'm trying to set up a machine which will be running multiple instances of NSD to serve different sets of zones from different interfaces. What I'm running into is that I can't specify different PID files to refer to on the command line. Are there any shortcuts or do I need to go write a patch? Any other implications of multiple instances? --

This problem has persisted for as long as I've used rsync. When the --delete option is used, not all files are deleted from the target, even though said files are not present in the source. The particular cases that cause this are when the target has a directory with files, and the source is something else, at least a symlink (this is the case I have seen). I'm taking a guess to say that

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

A while back, I asked if there had been any consideration in making rsync support direct ssl (as opposed to just ssh). I've been looking around for a secure way (e.g. encrypted, so passwords are never in the clear, and even content is obscured from sniffers) to allow a set of limited-trust users (limited-trust being defined as mostly customers, whom you trust with their own data, but not with

I have an openssh RPM package that restarts the sshd server during an upgrade if the daemon is already running. So far, so good, restart works. But I observed the following behaviour: - when issuing rpm -Uvh bla.rpm, rpm, obviously, opens the rpm file and gets a file descriptor. Say, 8. - rpm does its stuff and spawns a shell to execute the %post script. The shell also gets fd 8 (should rpm

Hi, i try to learn how rsync lock files for create a backup, but.. not find any on www. some can help me and give any HOWTO or FAQ or document ? Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I just noticed that there is an extra blank line in the output generated by rsync when the --dry-run (-n) flag is used. This seems to have started with 2.6.0. Is this desired? The reason why I'm asking is because I use scripts that parse the output from rsync and little modifications in verbosity can make or break things easily. Thanks, -- Alberto [ads@localhost bin]$ rsync-2.5.7

My understanding of the man page description of --exclude vs. --include is that the list of these is kept in order, and file names are searched against these parameters in that order for the first that matches and that one makes the decision. It doesn't seem to be working exactly as expected. But there is a factor involved that's making it unclear, which is whether or not *'s should

I am looking for a simple backup program that I can use to backup a CentOS box to a local tape drive. Hopefully someone here can give me a recommendation. This is what I need: - Simple launching of manual backups (preferably from the command line) - Ability to span tapes for a large backup - Proper treatment of hardlinked files - Notification via email or similar when it is

I just upgrade a file server from RH7.2 to RH8.0. Now, I am having a heck of a time trying to sync up more than 345GB of data. I keep getting "kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 10101 (rsync)" in /var/log/message. Has anyone seen this problem before? Thanks! Randy

Hi; I just attempted to install openssh-3.3p1 on a Sparc box running linux kernel 2.2.14-5.0 However any attempt to connect to the daemon causes a crash. (See below) Given the current security issue, will there be an available option for running the up coming 3.4 release on a Linux 2.2 kernel? Bob ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>

Does anybody care about supporting non-English message locales in rsync? (Do all sysadmins speak English? :-) Would anybody contribute translations if we had the framework? -- Martin

I think someone posted this before, but I can't find it in the archives. I am using rsync to pull down source files to be compiled. The delete options are used to clear out any old files left over from previous. Normally this works. I've run into one case where it persistently fails. Within the directory created during compiling is a symlink to another directory, also created during

hi all, I use rsync to copy/backup ALL my stuff to another disk. When I run this seems like my machine (4 GIG ram centos 5.1) now begins to swap out more programs. Is there a way to reduce that swapping? I am running with echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness I simply mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year then rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/mon.day.year This is approximately

Hi Phil, answer to your questions: > Which specific Slackware? Too embarrassed to say? Really, really don't know exactly. :) Installed approx. 5 yeras ago (maybe 4.5, 4.6, maybe 5.0 ... who knows now ... ) > Which OpenSSL? 0.9.6a? 0.9.6b? 0.9.6c? 0.9.6d? Only info I found is 0.9.6. Let's suppose it's 0.9.6. ;) > How about telling me how long you're going

Hello openssh-unix-dev, Some time ago I successfully compiled version 3.1 of OpenSSH. Today I tried new OpenSSH version and I am not able to compile it. Configuration script runned well. When running make, following error occured: make[1]: Entering directory `/tools/openssh-3.4p1/openbsd-compat' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory

Hi, I got stuck within some weird prob concerning my 2-node linux cluster and the synchronisation tool at hand (rsync-2.5.1pre1). I have to copy a structure of 70 directories where the data of these directories are hardlinked to the data of the 1st directory. Within this "orig data" directory, I have about 30.000 files, so the amount of files to sync is approx. 2.100.000. The
