similar to: --copy-unsafe-links does not work for "double" symlinks

Hi all, I have a situation where I want to use the same template to create two different files in two different classes. I''ve tried to lookup some information on what is possible with templates, how advanced you can get, but haven''t found much. I guess it''s one of the areas where I should contribute to the docs - once I figured out what I can do, that is...

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended. Details/example: - Host 1 directory-structure: drwx------ ./1

Dear All I'm making an instrumentation pass. The pass is supposed to modify the given IR in a specefic way. One of the required modifications is to insert a call to a function at a specific location. This is the signature of the called function: void myclass::foo(Function *f, BasicBlock* b) This function's prototype is in an foofile.h file in include/llvm And the function

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13827 Bug ID: 13827 Summary: despite --copy-unsafe-links, rsync does not copy the referent of symlinks that point one level outside the copied tree Product: rsync Version: 3.1.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity:

Hey everyone, I have several RStudio (.rnw) files that I am using a script to assemble into a composite document. For this purpose, it would be helpful if the script could automatcially make a call to whatever is called when a user opens up one of these files and manually clicks "Compile PDF". Basically, this would allow me to refresh all of the reports before assimilating their

Hi, New to this list, but long-time (appreciative) user of rsync. Grateful for any help with my problem here... In particular, I've been having long-standing issues (just now getting around to trying to resolve them) when I use rsync with '--copy-unsafe-links' alongside the '--delete' parameter. If I use either of these two parameters in isolation (along with other shared

Hello... I wanted to be able to startup an EC2 instance with one command and have a fully functioning server without having to shell into each new instance and configure the bits to allow puppet to finish the configuration. Here are some notes I came up with for bootstrapping an ec2 instance with puppet using Ubuntu 10.04. I left out a lot of things about creating and running custom AIM

Hi All, I am using rsync to backup one server to another. I am connecting to the rsync daemon on the remote server and pulling to the backup server. When using SSH this error does not occur, but there are reasons why I have to use rsync directly. The problem I am having is that some of the symlinks on the remote machine will not copy. I am attempting to copy their referent by using the -L

Hi, I would appreciate someone testing if their system can recognize symlinks (as below) on their SMB share. My Mac and Windows machines can NOT recognize symlinks on my NAS's SMB share, they just identify symlinks as real files and folders. Why is this an issue? Because when I try to copy parts of these backups from the NAS it just loops back on itself forever. Eg: From NAS (QNAP TS-453A)

Hy there, My name is Alex Vladulescu, and i found this very interesting tool for backup files and folders over remote network servers. For the past four days i have been reading the FAQ on the site, google-ing the web for some answers on my local problem, but i am very stuck, nothing seems to answer my question so far. My issue consists on having a rsyncd.conf on a master server on which i

Hi all. This looks like a common question. I want to backup a dir, in which i put some symlinks, so it looks like machinegun:/tmp/daily_backup # ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-02-17 17:41 . drwxrwxrwt 19 root root 4096 2010-02-17 17:30 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-02-17 17:41 cgi-bin -> /srv/www/cgi-bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-02-17 17:17 etc -> /etc

Hi, in my backup script I'm using the "-L" option to transform symlinks into referent files/dirs. Now I'm also using the "--delete" option. Unfortunately "--delete" doesnt work if an error like "Symlink has no referent" occurs. So far the only solution for that seems to not use the "-L" option or to add "--ignore-errors". It

I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to run an rsync daemon which makes a mix of "real" and symlinked folders available to a client such that all the folders appear as "real" to the client. I realize the --copy-links and --copy-dirlinks accomplish this when invoked from the client side (and that is currently how I am accomplishing this). Is there any way to

The output of --list-only isn't as I expected as regards symlinks. Here are my test files: $ ls ./src -rw------- 1 michael michael 0 2018-09-05 09:18:15 file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 4 2018-09-05 09:18:28 near_symlink -> file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 23 2018-09-05 09:19:05 far_symlink -> /home/michael/Documents The "destination" dir is empty: $ ls ./dest

Hello list, I am trying to set up a public mailbox for users to put spam in so that sa-learn can do its job at night. Only I can't seem to fully understand how and which permissions should be set. I've read [1] and am using Dovecot 1.0.1. First some background information: I do not host or care (at the moment) about virtual users or virtual mail hosting. All users have Unix system

Hi guys, samba client version 3.0.5, server version 3.0.5, kernel 2.4.26. Relevant configs on server: unix extensions = Yes wide links = Yes follow symlinks = Yes On client computer with home user mounted via smbfs I'm trying this: D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > cd /tmp D102-054 [/tmp] > mkdir dest_dir D102-054 [/tmp] > cd - D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > ln -s /tmp/dest_dir

Thank you. But I'm afraid I don't understand. The man entry reads: "--list-only This option will cause the source files to be listed instead of transferred. This option is inferred if there is a single source arg and no destination specified..." It doesn't say anything about "list remote files". In fact I am not sure why it would even contact the remote

My apologies. I'm evidently not communicating very well. I am not asking for a list of what "needs to be transferred", I am looking for a list of those things that are "candidates to transfer". In other words, the source items minus exclusions/filters or anything else that will be ignored (by rsync). Is there any option for rsync that offers such a list? > find

Hi, The problem I found is not in what rsync, but on the error handling: How to reproduce: On server side I setup a tree and share using rsync + xinetd, of course, for security reason I use chroot option. Now I push this symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 nov 10 16:28 horsroot -> /bin/ Now I try to do: ./rsync -avPH --copy-unsafe-links draco::test/ /tmp/rsyncdest/ (Of course the
