similar to: dry-run bytest to be transferred?

Since Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) the rsync option -n (Dry Run) is not working correctly. --- rsync --version rsync? version 3.1.3? protocol version 31 ---- I used this command for about ten years without mayor issues: --- rsync -vaHEiuzn --skip-compress=jpg,JPG,mov,MOV,mp4,MP4,m4v,avi,png --exclude=*.pyc --exclude='somedir/**/.gps.cnf' --exclude='somedir/**/clonezilla' --stats

Hi, I'm using rsync to backup my files. I have also added a pre-backup step where the script checks if there is enough space on the destination for rsync to run successfully. The goal is to make room (delete oldest backups) if that's not the case. I'm running rsync with -ahAXS --numeric-ids --link-dest options. For my pre-backup step, I'm currently using the same options +

Hi, As far as I can see, the only way you can tell it's been a dry-run at the receiver-side, is to parse RSYNC_ARGs in the pre-xfer script. I think the only way is to crawl through the RSYNC_ARGs to find a value which: - starts with a single dash, and; - contains 'n', and; - comes prior to the "." value, signifying the start of the 'path args' (which seem inherently

I'm trying to figure out if a file has changed since the last rsync call. I use the following command line: rsync -cvv /mnt/xxx/vol1/dbase/100/kunden.dbf /mnt/label | grep "^total: " | sed -e 's/.* data=//' This gives a 0 if the file is unchanged and the file size if the file has changed. Adding the "dry-run" option "n" to the command line always

Rsync is a remarkably handy tool that I use virtually every day. But there is one thing about rsync that drives me totally crazy. Under the -n (dry run) flag, rsync seems to produce exactly the same output as without that flag. I cannot tell you how many times I sit and scratch my head long and hard,after I discover that my intended rsync operations did not actually happen. Until I finally

I want to use rsync to diff two folders (with checksum) by using dry-run and itemize changes like this: rsync -rni --checksum /dir1/ /dir2/> ~/Desktop/diff.log However, I read that in --dry-run rsync wont do checksums. Is this true? If it is, is there a way to force checksums i dry-run mode?

Try as we may (--dry-run), it still won't tell us where it intends to put the files, $ rsync --dry-run --remove-source-files --relative --verbose --itemize-changes -Cavz Maildir/new /tmp/ sending incremental file list delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file cd+++++++++ Maildir/ cd+++++++++ Maildir/new/ >f+++++++++ Maildir/new/1546157908.1392_1.jidanni7 total:

I chose rsync over diff -r because diff -r is a binary comparison and it takes longer than creating a checksum. Isn't that correct? I did not understand this: > Rsync isn't even smart enough to not bother checksumming things that don't even have a comparison file. --checksum seems to work as you say even in --dry-run mode. At least it takes a lot of time, which should be a good

Please improve (default) output for *--dry-run*. Specifically, it would be nice to imply *-v* since dry runs without displaying anything make no sense. Further (independently from dry run), it would be nice to have an option to hide directories which did *not* change. The need to *grep* results is really frustrating and error prone. Thanks a lot! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I went ahead and moved to the trunk versions of RSpec and Spec:Rails because I wanted to try out the new Story Runner feature. However, when I tried to do "rake spec:doc", I got the following: AccountController - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) AccountHelper - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) User (in general) - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) - NO NAME (Because of --dry-run) - NO NAME

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: #

I'd like to know if it's possible to run rsync in batch mode, but avoiding transferring the deltas, just generating the batch file. I'm looking for such a behaviour because overnight backup sessions are often interrupted and daily snapshots (--link-dest) of remote servers are truncated. Specially the ones using slow links. Options: 1) Using -write-batch when mirroring volume

Hi, Is there either a step, or a recipe for a step between --dry-run and actually running? In a particular instance, --dry-run isn't enough. I want to actually attempt to read the entire file in, but then write it out to nowhere. I'm trying to see if it generates any disk errors that may hurt during an actual transfer. I realize 2 minutes later I could do the read again for the real
