similar to: exit code for vanished files in 2.6.9

A new 2.6.0 feature is supposed to use a different exit code when the only 'errors' were from files that disappeared between the building of the file list and the actual transfer of files. But if the client is local and the server is remote, IOERR_VANISHED gets set on the remote server, but is never passed to the local client (the io_error value is passed at the end of the file list, not

Hi What should be the right exit code for vanished file in this scenario. (1) Use inotify or other mechanism to check changed files and then generate a file list. (2) < file get deleted> (3) run rsync with --files-from with the old list. then send_file_list()->link_stat() will return errno 2 on some files and then set exit code to 23. but shall rsync return 24? -- Ming Zhang

I run an rsync to backup my mail server ever 4 hours. Sometimes, I get these sorts of warnings: Rsyncing... file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged1*/new/ 1210876129.43402_0.mail.server.tld" file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged2*/courierimapkeywords/. 4036254.1210876052.43312_0.mail.server.tld" file has vanished: "/usr/local/virtual/*munged3*/cur/

Hello All I have a rather curious problem. I rsync from a fileserver shared in via cifs. This connection sometimes fails (don't worry, that is not the question I have). I am not at all sure where it goes wrong, but in the end the result is that rsync thinks certain files has disappeared. It could for instance go wrong in the cifs client, but also in rsync when trying to read the remote

Hi Everyone, The following request was received from a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, although the cron output can be fixed by writing to a temporary file and using grep -v. (The temporary file is necessary to avoid discarding the exit code, although that may not be needed in the case of rsync, since it writes that to stderr). On Mon, Feb 20, 2006 at

I've been seeing the following wonky behavior with Dovecot. Currently this is with Dovecot 2.0.19, but I was also seeing it in earlier versions as well, including versions from the 1.x series. Some background, this is from Horde's ActiveSync library, when it is trying to determine what UIDs have recently been expunged. I can guarantee that when this command was sent, there was

Hi Rsync/Samba team, First of all, cudos on rsync 2.6.6! It is running exceptionally well. I'm using a script executed by cron to keep warm-backup servers in sync with the primary server. The execution is set to run every 5 minutes. Like any good programmer, this process is *very* paranoid and uses 'wall' to notify the users if any error occurs during the transmissions. This is

Hi folks, What does this line mean? Its been there in the summary every time i run the rsync command. rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] Can anybody please shed the light about the error code? Thanks in advance ak

Hi I would like to ask, when the "vanished files" warning is a sign that something bad is happening somewhere. I know that the `rsync-no-vanished` script can silence the warning, but I am wondering whether this is a sane thing to do. My guess based on https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3653#c26 and https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10356 is that it's fine, but

Hi !

Does anybody have a clue under which circumstances rsync doesn`t show these ? regards Roland

Hey, I've been trying to transfer about 90GB from one Server to another using rsync. But rsync stops randomly. I use the bash script provided in a bug report, to block errors about vanished files! Here is how I start rsync: ./rsync-no-vanished -vvvvv -a -e ssh --delete --progress -z root@kilu3.de:/var/www/users /data/oldkilu3/ > /data/rsync.kilu3n & When I log in into the server

Just ran into this bug when running the latest snapshot from CVS: when rsyncing from two source directories into a third one, rsync gets confused about which source file is from which directory, resulting in a "file vanished" error. See test script below. Also, is there any consensus on whether using multiple source modules when pulling from an rsync daemon is going to be ok? I

Greetings, I am attempting to RSYNC files from a Linux box which has a mounted path to a NetWare 6.5 server. I am using the Novell Client for Linux (beta). I am sure this is probably a Novell issue, and there won't be much help on this mailing list, but perhaps someone could explain what the underlying issue might be. I could use this information on my bug report to Novell to help them

Please help : Strange 'file has vanished' behaviour with rsync on windows. I need to run rsync on windows and sync shares thru UNC names. When I try : rsync -e ssh -av //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. rsync does a copy but says "file has vanished" for every file. Then when I run: rsync -e ssh -av --dry-run //mypc1/myshare1/dir1/* //mypc1/myshare1/dir2/. it shows

Hi, I am getting "rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]" now frequently but while using rsync version 2.6, I used to get it rarely. Any idea would be helpful on why rsync 3.0.6 is throwing this warning frequently. Jignesh. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Maybe someone could point in the right direction. I have a small facility that's running around 40 Polycom 301/501 phones, Asterisk 1.4.18 running under Mandriva 2007.1. The phones were assigned a DHCP address in the 10.10.10.x range. Today, the DHCP server failed and to get them back online, I loaded the dhcp-server onto another system (Also running Mandriva) and copied the dhcpd.conf
