similar to: idea: include/exclude files by mime type (use magic like file(1) does)

Hi everyone! :-) While doing a regular manual yum update on my ContOS 5.3 server, yum complained as follows: [root at sith ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * epel: ftp.icm.edu.pl * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de * base: centosb2.centos.org * updates: centose.centos.org * extras: centosb2.centos.org * addons:

Hi! I have 2 questions : 1. I heard about an best and all policy with yum for 64bit arch .. how can i change the policy to best as is annoying to have doubled packages when i need only the 64bit ones ... 2. i try to update the apache and i have this : --> Processing Dependency: /usr/share/magic.mime for package: httpd --> Finished Dependency Resolution httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.1.x86_64

My understanding of the man page description of --exclude vs. --include is that the list of these is kept in order, and file names are searched against these parameters in that order for the first that matches and that one makes the decision. It doesn't seem to be working exactly as expected. But there is a factor involved that's making it unclear, which is whether or not *'s should

I'm using a simple client/server backup pull model rsync -a --delete -e ssh --exclude-from=$exclude path/$client.exclude \ ${client}-rsync:/ $path/$client but can't seem to find the right 'exclude' combination to fetch certain directories but not their contents. Unfortunately this was found during a recent major restore where the excluded directories had to be manually

I need to backup a set of machines that are very similar in nature. I had created an exclude list to backup everything except whats in my list. I then used the --exclude-from=myexcludefile so rsync would not copy unwanted files. eg: /tmp /var/tmp /var/lock .... long list of others /u1 I have 2 drives on each machine and up until now I have no need to be backing up the 2nd drive. Thats what the

It guess I still haven't figured out the entire sematics of the --include and --exclude options. From reading the man page, it seems to say that what happens is that each file being checked is tested against each pattern in order, and when one matches the tests end, and whether it is --include or --exclude determines if that file is included or excluded. So I have on my server a big file

Hi! playing with --include, --exclude, and --exclude-from=file I found these not working: xcnlm00s:/etc/adsm/script # rsync -navx --include="*/" --exclude="*" -e ssh newsfeed:/ receiving file list ... done wrote 29 bytes read 28605 bytes 3014.11 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 xcnlm00s:/etc/adsm/script # rsync -navx --exclude="*"

hi, I am trying to rsync a very large filesystem which is about 3TB, but naturally I want to exclude a lot of things. However, I am really struggling with excluding directories. SRC=/dasd/december/2008 #Notice there is no trailing slash TARGET=/backup/december/2008 #Notice there is no trailing slash I want to exclude /dasd/december/2008/Data /dasd/december/2008/Logs

I'm using rsync 2.5.4 on my RedHat 7.3 client laptop and rsync 2.5.5 on my RedHat 8.0 server. On the client, I have a directory "rpm" with 5 subdirectories, out of which I only want to copy the one called SRPMS across. I also have another directory ".mozilla" out of which I want to copy across 2 files. I have constructed the following rsync invocation: rsync -e ssh -av

am already allows to pass several flags to apply as directory or reject, but not yet the exclude and include args. When porting dash patches from dash git to klibc git, where dash has a different directory structure, the exclude and include am switches are handy: Exported with format-patch on dash side and used am as import for klibc side.

Learning rsync (love it) and am requesting some help in understanding the exclude-from/include-from rules. I've been doing some testing and the results aren't coming out as I expected. Problem: I have a directory with several dozen sub directories and would like to selectively pick a couple dozen directories to remotely copy. The issue is that there are a large number of directories and I

Hi all, I'm trying to made a filtered backup of a windows PC. My target is to create a recursive backup of "only" files reported in the include/exclude files (i.e. only *.txt). the rules (reported below) work well, but also create an empty folders structure that I don'want. Rsync works fine for me (the rules are reported below) except a point, rsync create an empty folders

Can someone help me figure out what I have to do about to get update to work with this happening: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package kexec-tools.i386 0:1.102pre-56.el5_3.2 set to be updated ---> Package file.i386 0:4.17-15.el5_3.1 set to be updated ---> Package pango.i386 0:1.14.9-5.el5.centos set to be updated ---> Package pango-devel.i386

I'm trying to update some laptops from a large server directory for an EDA app. Most of the time I just rsync the entire directory and exclude the odd item. In this case it's the reverse where I want to exclude everything but include only the odd directory. I thought it'd be easy but can't seem to get the exclude then include options correct. It seems that when you exclude

I want to rsync only a small part of a directory tree. I've set up an exclude and an include file: exclude holds: /* include holds: /iso/1.5.*/i386 I am calling rsync using rsync -avz --include-from="include" --exclude-from="exclude" ftp3.sourceforge.net::/netbsd/iso iso/ but nothing happens. No files transfered. But I would expect rsync to transfer files:

Dear People, A friend asks ************************************************************* For the rsync include/exclude options is there a way to make it case insensitive? What I mean is that --exclude "*.pdf" would exclude "*.PdF" and "*.pdF" as well. I am looking for something like the -i switch for grep.
