similar to: --link-dest, update permissions w/o creating a new file

Greetings All, I've been thinking about the current behavior of the --link-dest=DIR option. In the absence of --delete, ALL members of DIR should be linked to the destination (aside from those that are changed). If not, there should at least be a --no-link-dest-delete option. (This latter option might be better to avoid disrupting the behavior of current rsync commands) My rational: This

Hello, I would like to specify ports on both hosts to copy files between two remote computeres. Is there any way to do this with scp? The -P flag seems to apply to the port on the second host only. Regards, Miguel

(I'm not sending this to dirvish@pegasus because I think that this message applies more to rsync's --link-dest option than to just dirvish.) I recently noticed a huge spike in dirvish network usage and traced it to files whose permissions had been changed. (with rsync v2.5.6) I understand and agree that a --link-dest copy of a source file cannot be hardlinked to, but couldn't a

Does anyone have a good distributed backup strategy? I've been revising mine for a year or so now and always realize there's some hole or another in it. I get the feeling to do it exactly the way I want it needs to be complex, but I'm looking for something elegant. My data consists of some of these representative folders: .mozilla Documents Pictures .ssh Music bin And these

Hi guys, I hope this is not considered a stupid question, but it really seems to be something that needs to be covered with a decent example in the man page. I have looked in every piece of documentation I can think of and have found no answer. So I want to use the multiple link-dest directories feature as of 2.6.4. (I am using 2.6.6) My understanding of how this should work is that I can

Is it possible to set the permissions on the destination side? As I understand it, --chmod just pretends certain permissions are coming from the sending side. I'd like to be able to set permissions to readonly in the destination while coming from a --copy/link-dest which may more may not have had it's permissions changed.

Hi Jerry et al, I'm using SAMBA 3.0.0 on Solaris 9, it looks very cute, unfortunately I can not set the permissions on the printers (I can as an admin add a user etc. but all changes are lost after applying):-( Is this somehow related to the error entries in the log file: [2003/11/17 14:45:31, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(577) ERROR: NULL dest in safe_strcpy If so will it be fixed in

does somebody use XCode on Mac for RoR instead of TextMate? I wonder how is it compared to TextMate... TextMate uses the default font of Monaco... the Xcode screenshot on Wikipedia uses Courier... I wonder if Xcode looks as good as TextMate when the font is changed to Monaco as well? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, Recently I do some jobs based on llvm-link tool. I wonder why link '@llvm.global_ctors' into dest file, even it's not used in dest file? And how can I remove it? Thank you all in advance! Fangqing Xilinx Inc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi all, I have just migrated my tooling from version 2.6.9 to 3.0.0. Unfortunately my script generated an error message during the execution. Because this command was working perfectly in the previous version I suspect this could be a bug. This is the command that I am executing: rsync -av --link-dest=20080313/ --compare-dest=/data/20080313/ 20080313/ /data/20080314/ It just

Hi list, I have been reading MAN pages and listarchives, but not found the answer to my question though I am sure it must be possible to acheive my wish. I wish to use rsync to create a backup BUT only keep the files for a limited period of time, EG two weeks. I have not yet been able to figure out how to do this inside rsync (while the backup is being performed) and my understanding of the

Hello everyone: I keeps using rsync to backup my files on my laptop from one folder to another, and to reduce disk usage, so I use "--link-dest" option for incremental backup like this: *rsync -a --link-dest=/local/old /tmp/myfile /local/new* And "/local/old" is backuped some days ago, I use "--link-dest" option to keep unchanged files as links to new destination

I notice that devices are not hardlinked when using the --link-dest option, for instance: rsync -aH --link-dest=../bar/ foo/ baz/ When foo/zero is a device, baz/zero is not a hardlink to bar/zero.
