Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

Hi, I'm running rsync-3.0.4 on my UNIX system. I've just updated from rsync-2.6.9. I'm facing a general problem with the execution of files during a transfer process. The situation: 2 Directories (dir1 and dir2) on one machine with a some files in dir1 which shall be translated to dir2. rsync does not correctly recognize dir1 and dir2 as directories. It tries to transfer dir1 as a

Dear All, I have been seeing some strange behavior using rsync 3.1.1 on OSX with the 3 standard patches applied when using the --backup and --backup-Dir options. This works as expected on 3.0.9, moving any files on dest that are not on source to the backup folder. If no changes then the backup folder is not even created. -aHAXN --fileflags --force-change --protect-decmpfs ?delete --backup

Dear All, I found a workaround for the corrupted backup app package files though there is probably a more intelligent way. When the destination is empty or missing (rather than an update) rsync.c calls make_backup and returns 1 when it encounters if (x_lstat(fname, &sx.st, NULL) < 0) return 1; the calling code in rsync.c: if ( make_backups > 0 && overwriting_basis) {

I came up with a patch to fix the problem of IO Errors caused by excluded files as did Eugene V. Chupriyanov below. Is there a chance that this change will show up in a future version of rsync? Is there a reason that we should not ignore IO errors when copy_links is off? Just want to make sure that I'm not missing something here that may corrupt my syncs.... Here's the version that

Hi, The patch below adds a "--ignore" option to rsync, which means "--exclude-but-dont-delete-even-if-we-specified--delete-excluded". I need this for a few tasks, the simplest of which is to have rsync resist trying to delete NetApp filers' ".snapshot" directories. The change is fairly simple (the boolean filter returns become tri-state), and works for me both

I'm getting a SEGV on a FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE box. The client is Solaris 9/SPARC. Both boxes run 2.6.2.

Hi, when syncing from windows NT/cygwin to linux usimg rsync 2.5.2 I get the following error: readlink pagefile.sys: Permission denied IO error encountered - skipping file deletion pagefile.sys is however in the exclude-list, so I think rsync shouldn't care that it can't stat the file. The code fragment responsible is if (readlink_stat(fname, &st, linkbuf) != 0) {

As those of you who watch CVS will be aware Wayne has been making progress in reducing memory requirements of rsync. Much of what he has done has been the product of discussions between he and myself that started a month ago with John Van Essen. Most recently Wayne has changed how the file_struct and its associated data are allocated, eliminating the string areas. Most of these changes have been

Hi All! rsync-3.0.6 with fileflags.diff under FreeBSD 8.0-RC1: if there is a file with uchg or schg flag in source directory and it's hard-linked (usual case for /usr/bin), then rsync cannot create the link in destination directory. Error message: rsync: link "/tmp/s/a" => b failed: Operation not permitted (1) The problem is that it's not allowed to link a *chg'ed file.

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.

Hi, One feature missing from rsync, and requested on this list before, is on-the-fly conversion of filename character encoding. For example, I often need to sync files having Hebrew filenames from a UTF-8 system (Linux) to an ISO8859-8 system (Cygwin on Windows 2000 using the non-Unicode Win32 interface). Other circumstances surely abound. Attached is a patch against rsync 2.6.2 that adds an

Gurus, Can I rely on the rownames() function, when applied to a matrix, always returning either NULL or an object of type character? It seems that row names can be entered as integers, but as of now (R 2.4.1 on Windows) the function returns character vectors, not numbers (which is my desired result). I am using elements of the returned vector to index the matrix. e.g., nams <-

Included below is a shar archive containing two patches that together: 1) make backup files get their setuid and setgid bits stripped by default 2) add a "-s" option that allows backup files to continue to have these privileges This means that if you update a collection of binaries with rsync, and one or more of them has a local-root security problem, the backup file(s) created when

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time
