Hi, I got the following report from a Debian user, about --files-from transferring the contents of a dir (i.e. including the files in it) specified in the input, even thugh the files aren't listed in the input. This happens only when the dir name ends with a slash. I asked him to cook up a script to reproduce this (as it wasn't quite clear to me at first what happened exactly). Any

OK, I packaged up the current CVS as our first preview release for 2.6.0. You can grab it here: http://samba.org/ftp/rsync/preview/rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz The MD5 checksum is: 70e9dea967f083c231b7821ef35aef1b rsync-2.6.0pre1.tar.gz There is not currently a .sig file for the package, but I'm looking into that next. Please test this and let me know if we have any remaining issues

I've run across a situation where I have a directory of .gz files. I do want to rsync this directory. I've tried without the --compress (because they are already compressed) but the files never get rsynced. Interactively, I get the following error: :rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) In the /etc/rsyncd.log, for each of the files, I get:

I've just subscribed, but a search of the archive doesn't indicate this has been handled before... Is there a way to get rsync to not create a new file while transferring and then rename it, but to instead update the existing file in place, i.e. simply write those blocks that have been updated and leave the rest alone? That would be ideal for what I wanted rsync for, namely updating

I can manually ssh into the server with no problems. Is the server running an rsync daemon? If so, why the ssh? Paul Slootman

Hi, I'm running rsync-3.0.4 on my UNIX system. I've just updated from rsync-2.6.9. I'm facing a general problem with the execution of files during a transfer process. The situation: 2 Directories (dir1 and dir2) on one machine with a some files in dir1 which shall be translated to dir2. rsync does not correctly recognize dir1 and dir2 as directories. It tries to transfer dir1 as a

Hi, Could any one please tell me if there is any way to remove 11 letters long cryptic output from -ii option. I am using rsync 3.0.5 rsync -av -stats -ii --log-file-format='CONTENTS: %i %f %l %o %b' --log-file='/tmp/rsync-test' Mydocs/ Mydocs1/" The output of this command: 2009/03/31 15:15:17 [4537] building file list 2009/03/31 15:15:29 [4537] created directory Mydocs1

I'm getting this error message and I don't really understand what rsync is trying to tell me:- rsync: link_stat "/rdiffBackup/gradwell/Mail/." failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] Can anyone explain what it's saying please. /rdiffBackup/gradwell/Mail/ does exist and is

Two patches: one to correct the spelling of permissions (in comments, but such typos disturb me as well), and one to cast inode and dev to unsigned long before comparing, to prevent gcc giving a warning "comparison between signed and unsigned".

I cannot figure out where I am going wrong with my excluded files syntax! rsync backups up those folders I'm trying to exclude. rsync -av --exclude-from=/etc/rsync_excluded.conf --delete root@polaris::polhome /pol_home_bkup cat /etc/rsync_excluded.conf - /home/agokhale - /home/anand - /home/asalazar etc. These are all top level folders with the same names. On the rsync server

Is there a way to set rsync excludes by filesize? I already do excludes by a wild card on the name but I needed something a bit more sophisticated this time around. I have files with the extension .nc (netcdf files) which tend to be huge before the users post-process them. I want all files with a .nc extension excluded if they are, say, 100+ MB in size. Is there a way to do this via rsync?

I would like to request that rsync -n to an rsync server target that is read only be supported rather than generating the following error, ERROR: module is read only The motivation is to allow the generation of a list of files against an rsync target that will be used by another application. Since dry-run mode does not require write access it would be convenient if the “module is read only” error

A thousand greetings, I'm trying to rsync a directory from a server to my local machine that has a symbolic link to a directory I don't want to download. I have an "exclude" option to exclude the symlink which works fine. However, if I add a --copy-links option to the command, it appears to override my "exclude" directive and the contents of the symlinked directory

> Yeah, it only does space-splitting and that's all it will ever do. It still looks to me like there is a bug in the original escaping, since any command receiving that string is receiving a backslash that is not supposed to be there. It should only be escaping the string enough to get it to rsync, not trying to guess what rsync is going to do with it after it gets it. I'm not

Hi @all! I have two questions: - First, am I right that the chance of getting the same 32-bit rolling checksum is 1/2^16 and to get the same 128-bit MD5 Hash is 1/2^127? - Finally I want two know if it is possible to change an amount of blocks manually? e.g. I made a 100 MB file with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/test.xyz bs=1M count=100" and know I want to change, lets say, 10 blocks of

Hi I am trying to rsync some ghost images from a windows client running Windows XP to my Linux server. The problem is that rsync sends the complete files again even if nothing changed on the client side. The only way to avoid this is to use the "-c"-option but this takes nearly as long as uploading the files would. The server is running rsync-2.6.9, /etc/rsyncd.conf looks as follows.

Hello together, I have a question about using rsync with many files. We are using rsync via rsnapshot, but this is not elementary. It is used to backup many (above 100 servers) and works very well. Now there is one server with many (several millions) files. The files are not very big, so the complete backup is about 500 GB. Now my problem is, that the backup needs about 14 hours - the most time
