similar to: Fwd: rsync on OSX for transferring files using FAT32

I am trying to transfer files between two OSX machines using a FAT32 formatted flash drive. I am transferring a "big" directory (7G). Basically I want to sync everyday my home and work computers for some directories. I tried many possible rsyncs (original supplied, fink 3.0.5/3.0.4 macports 3.0.5, rsync-2.6.3+hfsmode-1.2b2, 3.0.6+fileflags+crtimes) What I would really like to happen

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

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

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 Bombich maintains an excellent page about this, but it's a bit out of date, methinks, and his instructions point to patch files that return some interesting errors.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

I have also been eager to test bbouncer The latest source passes with flying colours! but make check finds some problems with xattrs if not run by sudo I have xattr in /usr/local/bin/ from the source found at: http://dev.bignerdranch.com/public/bnr/eXttra.zip What I did: cd /usr/local/Source rsync -av --exclude=.git/ rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync . rsync -av --exclude=.git/

Thanks Wayne and everybody, This is a huge boost to have a modern rsync for OSX. We're all grateful. Rob D PS I did notice that we lost the bsd flags test in 3.0. It was ok in pre10.... thanks again bbouncer Verifying: basic-permissions ... ok Verifying: timestamps ... Sub-test: modification time ... ok ok Verifying: symlinks ... ok Verifying:

Hello - I am having trouble getting getting rsync to work - or atleast, work cleanly. I have looked and looked, but have found no one with similar problems. So here I am: I appreciate any tips you might have, and apologize if I missed something obvious. Here is the setup: rsync host: iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.6 rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30 Capabilities: 64-bit files,

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, 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

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

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 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 ..

Precisions: If I run my patched rsync on 10.4 instead of 10.3, it's my function that returns an error: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr("Src/60-bsd-flags/dir-with- flags","com.apple.FinderInfo") failed: Unknown error: -5000 (-5000) And error -5000 means: afpAccessDenied -5000 User does not have the correct access to the file Directory cannot be shared Available in Mac OS

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"

Hello, Object of my mail : 1/ stick a problem of incompatibylity between 2 patches (fileflags.diff & detect-renamed.diff) 2/ proposition of a correction I wanted to run rsync on a mac (OS X 10.6.5) with the --detect-renamed option. I therefore tried to compile rsync with the 3 relevant patches : - fileflags.diff - crtimes.diff - detect-renamed.diff But the patch detect-renamed.diff is

Hello! I've been trying 3.0.8 on OS X 10.6.7 today and have been getting some errors.

The errors are happening at the beginning and end. BEGINNING:

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
