Operating System: OpenVMS ALPHA V7.3 Compiler: Compaq C T6.5 Compiler switches: /WARN=ENABLE=(LEVEL4, QUESTCODE) syscall.c is missing the "const" qualifiers for several of it's functions. This patch should supercede the previous patch I submitted. This was discovered while working on resovling the conflicts between signed and unsigned values. -John wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal

The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to --ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a --dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination with transient increments in dry_run; this caused

Wayne, It's taken a little while for me to get more familiar with the code, but I think I've reached a good breakpoint in improving batch-mode. Let me highlight some of the changes in the attached patch: * --write-batch and --read-batch arguments are no longer passed from client to server. This fixes the current problem that causes the server threads to die when the client

I noticed that this topic appeared from time to time on the mailing list and that one patch exists (copy-devices.diff) from a previous thread which allowed rsync to operate with a source device file. The patch below, when combined with the 'copy-devices' patch, allows rsync to be operate between two device files. In our environment this is being used, along with LVM snapshots, to

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

Yes, it's time once again to return to the subject of moving files. With the recent changes to the communications code between the receiver and the generator, there is now a non-clogging channel that we can use to signal the sender when a file has been successfully transferred, which allows us delete the original for all transferred files. I have in the past waffled on whether this feature

Hi All, Here's an rsync patch which adds an --offline flag, letting you transfer changed blocks via removable media, while still comparing checksums via the net. I expect this could be very popular for the growing number of people who want to do disk-based offsite backups, which is what I needed it for. It took me longer than I hoped, but still only several hours to work this out -- it

As I reported a while back rsync doesn't handle metadata (permissions and ownership) in dryrun mode. I offered to make a patch and that offer still stands. I didn't have the time for it until now and want to pick it up again. I had some ugly hack back then but I want to redo it in a clean way. I would like some input on my thoughts. IMHO, it would be ideally if the check for dry_run

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

I just took a look at the 2.5.5 codebase to see how easy it would be to write a little driver script that downloads a big directory tree from an rsync daemon the chunky way (get a list of a module's subdirectories and do the transfer by subdirectory). The reason for doing this is obvious when you have large directory trees, as is the case for many of us. Unfortunately the way list_only is

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I
