While installing rsync on a new Sun Netra running Solaris 2.8, two tests (chgrp and hardlinks) failed. I found that these tests execute rsync while other successfull tests exectute $RSYNC. It is fortunate that my shell path was quite restricted and that no earlier version of rsync was installed on my path. The system would have run the chgrp and hardlinks tests with an earlier rsync if it had

Reading and re-reading the man page has got me nowhere with this issue and searching your site on '--exclude-from' got me to the same place. Here is the script I am using: #################################### #/bin/bash suffix=`date +%Y%m%d` echo Suffix is "$suffix" fromdir=/home/bob/ echo Source dir is "$fromdir" todir="$maxtor6"BackupOfHome

Here is part of my backup script: nice -n 15 rsync -avl --exclude=".*" \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ "$fromdir" "$todir" Here is the content of /home/bob/backup_includes /home/bob/.vimrc /home/bob/.gitconfig My problem is that neither the .vimrc nor .gitconfig are copied to the backup directory. I have read the man page about

Having built rsync 2.5.5 on IRIX 6.2 with gcc 3.1, I ran into two failures when running the testsuite with make check: both the chgrp and hardlinks tests fail: The failure in the chgrp test occurs here: + rsync -rtgvvv /amnt/callisto/volumes/obj-irix5/local/obj.irix5/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.chgrp/from/ /amnt/callisto/volumes/obj-irix5/local/obj.irix5/rsync-2.5.5/testtmp.chgrp/to/ rsync: opendir

Yo, Currently if you build rsync and you don't have rsync installed, make test will fail because some tests reference the rsync binary directly (instead of using the $RSYNC variable). I cannot find anything which refers to this problem in the mail archives or CVS logs. Below is a patch which fixes this problem. (please CC: me, I'm not subscribed. Thanks.) -- Geoff. --------------

Hi Folks, I can't get the syntax of --include-from right, nothing at all gets transferred. The rsync command: # do the backup nice -n 15 rsync -av \ --include-from="/home/bob/backup_includes" \ --exclude-from="/home/bob/backup_excludes" \ $fromdir $todir The excludes file: .* *~ Videos/ Downloads/ Dropbox/ The includes file: .vimrc .gitconfig .bash_aliases .bashrc

Greetings, We found out today that rsync has been missing some files. Here is the senerio: We have two nfs servers in different datacenters, one being the backup to the other. We want to keep them up to date so we use rsync inside crontabs. We have Solaris, AIX, True64 and VMS systems reading and writing to the nfs drives. I am running rsync on Solaris 8 servers. What

I was struggling tracking down a strange behaviour and could reproduce it with the testsuite.

Add new option --ignore-non-existing-directory, that is a variant of --ignore-non-existing, but applies ONLY to directories. This was previously proposed in bug #8366, but I independently had a use case for it in the Gentoo infrastructure. X-URL: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8366 X-URL:

Hi. The choice of 'config.h' for testing does not consider the possiblity of objdir != srcdir builds. The small patch below replaces 'config.h' with 'configure.in' in keeping with the 'config' name choice.

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

Try adding a star at the end. eg : /home/bob/.mozilla/firefox/* If this is still not excluding as you expect then please let me know.

When I rsync a large directory (a few thousand files in multiple subdirectories), it has recently begun to hang and not return to me. The system I am rsyncing from is relese 2.4.1, and the system I am rsyncing to is release 2.5.4. I am running on aix (both ends). I used to use the following: /usr/contrib/bin/rsync -vrace ssh --include-from $tmpFile --exclude "*"

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

When I mistakenly use file.copy() with a directory for the 'from' argument and a non-directory for the 'to' and overwrite=TRUE, file.copy returns FALSE, meaning it could not do the copying. However, it also replaces the 'to' file with a zero-length file. dir.create( fromDir <- tempfile() ) cat(file = toFile <- tempfile(), "existing file\n")
