similar to: Step between --dry-run and running?

Hi, I've got one thats really stumping me... rsync 2.6.9 from FreeBSD ports on both ends. /usr/local/tmp/rsync --dry-run -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v --dry-run -vrlptHDgozxS --partial --force --delete --numeric-ids --exclude='A/*' --include='*/' /usr/local/etc/machines/ rsync@A:/usr/local/etc/machines/ It seems to be sending over files that I can't understand

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: #

Hi, I've got a remote system that was down and came back up. I'm trying to get into the system, but when I do I get timed out. I forced it to a keyboard interactive to speed things up: ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive -vvv tuc at 10.2.0.2 but I get : debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: done:

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 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?

Hi, After I do a : upscmd ellipse@localhost test.battery.start How do I tell its running, what the status is, etc. Thanks, Tuc

Hi, Right now my UPS has "battery.charge.low" set to 30. I think thats pretty silly, I'd like it to be alot lower. Its a read only variable so I can't modify it. I can't find a setting in a conf file to override it. Did I miss it? Thanks, Tuc

Hi, I'm looking to backup a small network (Hughes DW7000 satellite modem, small consumer grade Internet Broadband router+wireless, Soekris NET4801 single board computer + 4 port lan card, Cisco 2900 switch) and want a small form factor (This is sitting on a small shelf) and light. The main thing I'm running into is that it *HAS* to be serial. (The Soekris only has 1 USB port and I

Is there anyway on a dry-run to actually see per file how many bytes are to be transferred? On a normal run I use --log-format=/%f/%l/%b/%i which shows the total file size and the actual bytes transferred. Also, during a dry-run, is there anyway to show the Literal Data? Basically, I'm trying to calculate something before the actual run takes place. Dry-run is telling me which files have

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:

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.

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 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

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, I'm running into an issue while using FreeBSD 5.4, NUT from ports (2.0.3), serial on /dev/cuaa1, Ellipse 1200 USBS.

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
