Hello all, I have trouble to use rsync (tested with 3.0.2 and 3.0.3pre2) on MacOS X 10.3. Rsync always seems to stop when working on open files (?). Source is my laptop hard disk, destination a USB attached external drive. If I stop Firefox for instance all runs smoothly. This is how I built rsync: #!/bin/bash # VERSION=3.0.2 VERSION=3.0.3pre2 DIR="rsync-$VERSION"

Awesome work Wayne. I have been following the various threads about running rsync 3.0.0 on MacOS X 10.4.11 and wanted to confirm that following all the various bits of advice yields a clean running rsync (as tested by backup bouncer). I am running MacOS X 10.4.11 on PPC. The following is a synopsis of my installation procedure (as gathered from the various emails in the archive) - note

Hi All, I just tried (on OS10.5.2) the new fileflags.diff patch patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff (see result below- I fixed the rej's ) then ./configure make then tried it out but it isn't copying the creation dates now.... just wondering if I missed something ..

Hi Wayne, Trying out 3.1 pre 1 on OSX 10.8.4 I like the new extended stats and the ir-chunk file numbers in log. Also getting a lot of errors and most copies not completing to local disk. rsync just stalls. Standard osx build: patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/hfs-compression.diff ./configure make rsync --fileflags --force-change

Hi All, I'm trying a remote backup for the first time. It is between two laptops, I installed rsync 3.0.7 on both compiled patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.dif f patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff ./configure make this all works perfectly for local backups, clones

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

Hi, I'm trying to make a small script to get rid of Apple's TimeMachine. The aim is to backup the files of my company. I setup a MacMini with a lot of storage attached to it. The MacMini connects every once in a while to our data server (XServe) through SSH and pulls the files that need to be saved (I'm using the --link-dest option to limit the amount of files transferred, and to keep

Hello all, I was eager to test the fresh release with MacOS X using "bbouncer" This is how I compiled and run the tests: patch -p1 <patches/osx-create-time.diff patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff ./prepare-source patch -p1 <patches/backup-dir-dels.diff ./configure make make test sudo make install Then compiling and running "bbouncer" from

Hi, Which version of Mac OS X are you running? If you are on Mac OS 10.5.x then I can only suggest that you try either formating the drive to HFS + or creating a disk image with an HFS+ file system. If you are running Mac OS 10.4.x then ensure that that ACL support is enabled on the drive. The following URL contains information on how to check and enable ACL support :

Hi All, I don't know if this has been discussed here but creation dates are nto being preserved on OSX 10.6.1 in 64 bit mode. Rare of course, the folks that are using 64 but I am getting reports. I built in 64 with the usual crtimes and fileflags patches. Otherwise works like a dream and, in 64, is unbelievably Fast! Thanks, Rob

Hi All, I've been off list for a while and just got around to building rsync 3.0.6 on Mac OSX 10.6 intel core 2 duo machine. It runs great on similar machines but someone just said it won't for their OSX 10.6 intel core duo and returns an error: rsync Bad CPU type in executable. I check the file and it says: rsync: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 my older builds all

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the

What patch files are necessary to build rsync-3.0.9 for OS X 10.6.8 (Darwin 10.8.0)? Mr. Bombich maintains an excellent page about this, but it's a bit out of date, methinks, and his instructions point to patch files that return some interesting errors. My rsync-3.0.9 is working just fine, btw, with the fileflags and crtimes and hfs-compression patches applied; I just wondered if the others

Returning to this list after a long hiatus: rsync 3 has been working very well for me for many years, as a supplementary backup tool for MacOSX. However, attempting to build the new 3.1.0 release on a brand new Mountain Lion box with my standard 'fileflags' and 'crimes' patches applied, make fails, reporting that 'force_change' is undeclared. In fact, the problem occurs

Hi all, hi Mike, I am just building 3.0.8 on osx 10.6.6 and mike's hfs_compression.diff is failing. Am I missing something? Thanks, Rob patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff ( this says previously applied?) patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.diff but for patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff patching file

Hi All, Well, we compiled pre9 on an intel Mac running Tiger and now it does work on the machine. I need to see if that will now work on a PPC mac though. Hopefully it will but I am wondering if there is a way to compile and make a universal binary rsync for the Mac that will run on both, from my PPC Mac. Itried that yesterday with patch -p1 <patches/flags.diff patch -p1

I compiled 3.0.6pre1, including the crtimes and fileflags patches for use on Intel OS X 10.5.6, as described by Mr. Bombich (thanks!) here: <http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html> I want to use 3.0.6 because it seems that this bug: <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5365> has been resolved (yay!). ----- [~]$ rsync --version rsync version 3.0.6pre1 protocol version 30

I've been getting spurious unnecessary copying of files on OSX when using the crtimes patch and the --crtimes -H options (version 3.0.4). I can reliably demonstrate it (on OSX 10.5) by doing this several times (as root): rsync -v -N -axHAX --delete-during --fileflags --force-change /usr/ bin/ /tmp/foo/ I think I've tracked it down to the hard-link processing code in
