Hi I am making an extraordinary claim: rysnc seems to copy all my files, not just ones that have changed or new files. rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 Debian 3.0 Woody I have tested this with one simple file, my example is shown below. Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this? Regards Gareth example: I create a file called 'testfile' in /tmp/play containing the

I am runninng rsync on Ubuntu. It was installed using apt-get install rysnc. I note that the package has not yet been updated to rysnc 3.0. I would like to update using the tar but I am confused how to update the existing installation. On this machine, I am mainly using rsync to send to a cwrsync server (which I have updated already). Can I just overwrite the rsync executable? Any help

Hi, I am a newbie to Rysnc and a had a quick question, the answer for which I wasn't able to find in the documentations. Currently I have Solaris system A which has files that are being generated and changed in real time. I am running rysnc in daemon mode on A.(server) On system B I use the appropriate rysnc command to connect to system A and sync all the files on B. I am having

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Does "bwlimit" option really work on rsync locally? We have one type of harddisk and want to slow down rsync I/O on disk because I don't want the disk head gets too hot. While I'm trying to use --bwlimit option, it looks the rsync speed was slowed down, but iostat is not improved at all. In both case the block written speed is increased by the same amount. How could I really

Hello, I have run into an issue with rsync that I?m hoping someone can help with. We are using rsync to mirror data between a samba share on an internal staging server and our production ftp servers. The rsync runs from cron every 15 minutes. Occasionally, the rsync will run while somebody is uploading a large file to the samba share (for instance an iso image). The file appears to make

I almost always use "-u" with rsync so that I don't overwrite remote files that have changed. The only way to get rsync to tell me which remote files are "newer" is to use a double-v (-vv), which produces way more output than I care to see. (In true Unix fashion, I don't care to see what was done successfully; I only want to see what failed.) I've always had to

Hi, Rsync is a fantastic program, and it does everything we need in terms of file transfer and syncing source and destination file directories. We do have a situation now where we need rsync to transfer the files once only from the source directory. Please let me briefly explain using a simple generic exmple: 1. At t0, we transfer f0 location A to location B 2. At t1, 10 new

Is it possible to configure rsync in server mode, to gain access to root protected files, without the user having to log in as root through ssh? I'd prefer to login as a regular user through ssh and access an rysnc server on the host that's running as root. As far as I can tell, however, that's not possible...am I wrong?

Hi, I posted a list of problems I was having with rsync 2.5.5 (on Digital Unix 4.0f) which I've now been able to address thanks to some kernel tuning but I still have one outstanding problem - I still have situation where files which are added to the filelist for updating on the remote end are deleted by the client systems' web software before they are sent - at least I believe this is

I have setup a Rysnc server in Mandrake 9.1 When I add a auth user into my Rsync.conf and rsync.secrets, it do not work, everytime it shows [root@html]# rsync chris@mandrake82::XXXXX/.html/. / Password: @ERROR: auth failed on module XXXXX rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (89 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) This is my rsync's

We use rsync to update an nfs server. After an update, we noticed that a large number of clients didn't see the updated data. It took me a while to be able to reliably reproduce this problem, but it happens on old and new versions of rysnc. It also happens across all the platforms we use here (sun/linux/netapp). This shows the problem: [Note my home directory is NFS mounted]

Hello, Can someone point me to documentation on how to best backup a samba member server? I see the wiki currently does not contain one. Is it as simple as backup all shared folders with rysnc or similar that will preserve ACLS along with the smb.conf? I'm currently relying on a raid solution. Thanks. -- -James

Dear list, I'd like to have your expertise opinion on following issue. Out of a concrete need we developed an application that will rsync any changes on a local directory structure to a remove system the moment they happen using the linux kernel watch feature. This is in our opinion much more elegant compared to invoking rsync every x seconds/minutes from cron, or having to use a special

All, I have an rsync based backup process which uses rsyncd on the source, to backup to a directory on the client. I have rsync version 3.1.2 on the client and 2.6.8 on the source host (daemon). The rysnc command I use is; /usr/bin/rsync -aHzS --partial --numeric-ids --delete --timeout=3600 \ --contimeout=180 \ --exclude-from=/path/to/excludelist \

This is the LAST version I plan on doing.. If I hear no feed back good or bad. Then I'll assume I've wasted my time on a feature that people whine about but don't care to try. This is against 3.0.2pX so it should be VERY easy for anyone to test. - Ben diff -ur openssh-3.0.2p1/misc.c openssh/misc.c --- openssh-3.0.2p1/misc.c Tue Jul 3 23:46:58 2001 +++ openssh/misc.c Wed Feb 6

Hi! How can I find out what files wheren't transferred If I have error: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) running rsync? I've tried "rsync -v[v][v]" but had no success. It wasn't possible to make sure what where the files producing the error. Any idea? rsync is version 2.5.7 -- Thomas

I'm writing a wrapper around a large number of rsyncs that need to happen, and it would be great if I could parse the output of a running rsync and find out how far along it is. To do this, I would need to know how many files the rsync is going to transfer. If I run 'rsync -avz --progress', it tells me how many files it is considering, but not how many it actually needs to update.

I'm using the excellent --link-dest option on rsync to do every-day full backups of a number of servers. These servers share most of the file-system content, but of course has some variations. In order to reduce the space used for each backup, I was thinking about linking all files in the backups to their hash in a separate directory, allowing only one storage of each file-value, reducing
