similar to: inplace and partial transfers

Hi all, >From the manpage of rsync, I can see the following descriptions: --inplace The option implies --partial (since an interrupted transfer does not delete the file) So I do the following testings on the `--inplace' and `--partial' for resuming a file with the following steps: 1- rsync ftp.cn.debian.org::debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/

Hi. This is bug report and simultaneously urgent asking for help. I am trying to write my rsync wrapper script, which will create minutely snapshots of my data using --link-dest. I want this script to be robust, it should work even if I do suspend/hibernate/reboot without notifying the script about this actions, it should work if I make hard-reset of the computer and if I disconnect network. Also

It seems to me that it should be possible to make --inplace and --sparse compatible. The manpage says -S, --sparse ... Conflicts with --inplace because it's not possible to overwrite data in a sparse fashion. but I think it _is_ possible to do that, provided the receiving side opens the dest file read-write instead of write-only. When writing within the existing

Hello list! How dangerous is acctually the --inplace option if you want to run rsync to update files that are only read and not written to? What is the worst that can happen? The file is not readable, the reader gets half the file of an old version and the rest is from the new version? There is not a simple way to make it update the file in the standard way and then change the ownership

In the 3.0.4 version of the man pagem dated June 29, 2008, it still states: """ (5) the efficiency of rsync?s delta-transfer algorithm may be reduced if some data in the destination file is overwritten before it can be copied to a position later in the file """ Also, I know I have read somewhere in the past that the limitation stems from the fact that "rsync

You mean making "cp -al" on the remote and then start rsync to newly created dir with --partial and without --link-dest, --inplace, --append-verify? What is benefits? Even metadata

Hi, I frequently rsync larger files from my rented server to my PC. Sometimes I have to stop the rsync process and restart it a while after (e.g. I'm shutting down my PC for the night, ...), sometimes several times per source file. I like the two following features: (1) The unfinished files should stay in a own directory (I call it '.dl'). I'm talking here about the 'temp'

Ok, thanks. I removed --inplace and --append-verify and kept --link-dest and --partial. And now the script works exactly as I want: hard-links are not updated, the script is still robust and can copy large files over unstable links etc, etc. == Askar Safin http://vk.com/safinaskar Kazan, Russia

There is the problem which I discribed here https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=12820. rsync does not break hard-link into destination if hard-link has be broken in source with option inplace.

Hi, I have written a 'smallish' patch to implement the --inplace option as discussed on this mailing list at various points in the past. It makes a small modification to the sender algorithm so that it won't ask the receiver to relocate blocks from earlier in the file when running with the --inplace option. I would appreciate any testing and feedback people can provide! I

Hi! As I commonly spell --inplace as --in-place, I'd like to suggest this simple patch: commit 5689f99b702788044a45e13582559832cf986328 Author: Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw at lug-owl.de> Date: Wed Jun 26 22:49:31 2019 +0200 Allow "--in-place" as an alternative option name for "--inplace". diff --git a/options.c b/options.c index e5b0cb68..7ff0c51d 100644 ---
