similar to: OSX and HFS+ filesystem compression

Hi All, I have been using rysnc 3.0.6 with Mike's rsync_3.0.6-hfs-compression_20091027.diff patch (as well as the standard osx patches) with good results. I discovered that clones done on 10.6 using this rsync cause some executable files ( the ones that are mostly compressed this way on osx ) to be damaged. I did a test twice and indeed a handful of them are damaged. They all appear to be in

Are there any patches (or planned updates) to rsync v3.0.6 to handle the HFS+ File Compression that Apple introduced with Snow Leopard?

Hi all, hi Mike, I am just building 3.0.8 on osx 10.6.6 and mike's hfs_compression.diff is failing. Am I missing something? Thanks, Rob patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff ( this says previously applied?) patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.diff but for patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff patching file

Hi All, I'm trying a remote backup for the first time. It is between two laptops, I installed rsync 3.0.7 on both compiled patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-64bit.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes-hfs+.dif f patch -p1 <patches/hfs_compression.diff ./configure make this all works perfectly for local backups, clones

Hi Wayne, Trying out 3.1 pre 1 on OSX 10.8.4 I like the new extended stats and the ir-chunk file numbers in log. Also getting a lot of errors and most copies not completing to local disk. rsync just stalls. Standard osx build: patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff patch -p1 <patches/hfs-compression.diff ./configure make rsync --fileflags --force-change

Dear All, I have been seeing some strange behavior using rsync 3.1.1 on OSX with the 3 standard patches applied when using the --backup and --backup-Dir options. This works as expected on 3.0.9, moving any files on dest that are not on source to the backup folder. If no changes then the backup folder is not even created. -aHAXN --fileflags --force-change --protect-decmpfs ?delete --backup

Hi, I'm trying to make a small script to get rid of Apple's TimeMachine. The aim is to backup the files of my company. I setup a MacMini with a lot of storage attached to it. The MacMini connects every once in a while to our data server (XServe) through SSH and pulls the files that need to be saved (I'm using the --link-dest option to limit the amount of files transferred, and to keep

Hi All, Well, we compiled pre9 on an intel Mac running Tiger and now it does work on the machine. I need to see if that will now work on a PPC mac though. Hopefully it will but I am wondering if there is a way to compile and make a universal binary rsync for the Mac that will run on both, from my PPC Mac. Itried that yesterday with patch -p1 <patches/flags.diff patch -p1

Hello All, I have lately heard from a couple of people that delete option was not deleting extraneous files on destination. This only happens when there are several source directories and at destination some show delete working and others not. I can not reproduce the issue so it is hard to pinpoint. one example: This is on OSX Mavericks running rsync 3.0.9 with the usual osx patches and

Hi All, I have had reports of problems with the -R option on OSX 10.6.4. Just tested it myself and found this odd result: When I run this "dtruss -f path/to/rsync -aHAXNR --fileflags --force-change --protect-decmpfs --stats -v /Users/astrid/Documents/main.m /Users/astrid/Desktop/rrr it produces the expected results with the relative folder paths in place

Hello everyone! FOREWORD: I respect your time and resources, I hope to not bother people on this mailinglist! To my defense: This question is far easier towards humans than to mailinglist and web search-engines as the search terms in relation to each other are highly in-causal or paradoxical, and hence lead to poor results. Of course the manpage was the first place where I looked

Hi, Which version of Mac OS X are you running? If you are on Mac OS 10.5.x then I can only suggest that you try either formating the drive to HFS + or creating a disk image with an HFS+ file system. If you are running Mac OS 10.4.x then ensure that that ACL support is enabled on the drive. The following URL contains information on how to check and enable ACL support :

Hi folks, years ago I had no problem installing CentOS7 on my iMac workstation (iMac Late 2015). The installation worked out of the box. Today I wanted to upgrade to CentOS8 and while configuring the partitions I get an error that the installation can not start because: "HFS+ ESP needed and mounted on /boot/efi". In fact they are the same partition as for CentOS7. Is this a regression

Hi. Several months ago, I posted my first pass at a patch to transfer Mac OS X HFS+ metadata (resource forks and Finder metadata) to non-HFS+ filesystems (Linux, Solaris, etc). I finally got a chance to update the patch to reflect suggestions offered on the list. Thanks for the ideas, this version should be a big improvement. The diff and a binary (and a fuller explanation) can be found at:

I am using Mike Rubel's snapshot-style rsync to do backups from my web server (Linux) to my desktop (MacOS X). Mostly, this works great, except where case sensitivity (or rather, HFS+'s semi-lack thereof) causes problems. Specifically, it seems impossible to successfully back up my Linux box's /usr/share/terminfo, as it contains directories that differ ONLY in case (e.g.,

Hi All, I am trying to help my friend set up his rsync with iconv. Presently it works fine but re-copies every file with an umlaute in the filename. I saw a recent post about this and the fix but... he ran "locale" ( both source and dest are on same machine) and is running on a German-Swiss locale xserve-backup-02:/Volumes/Backup RAID 8TB teleclub$ locale LANG=

hi, it seems there's a more-recent solution, referenced here: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/ that points out: "Since OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) the MacOS ships with a modified version of rsync. An added option, -E, enables the transfer of extended attributes." exploring, the current apple patches @:

Hi all, Trying to mount an FW800 6TB volumes. The logs say; cannot find hfs+ superblock and volumes larger then 2TB are not supported yet Is my case really because of the >2TB volume? Thanks in advance, - aurf

I'm trying to use rsync to back up a Mac OS X machine to a Linux server. I've used the instructions at http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html to patch and install rsync 3.0.2 to support HFS+ attributes and forks on the client. I was assuming the Linux box needed the same version, and so tried compiling the patched rsync but got the following: syscall.c: In function

i've built up rsync on both opensuse & osx from src. on osx, it's v2.6.3 w/ both apple's "Extended Attributes" patches: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/EA.diff http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/PR-3945747-endian.diff and the 'lartmaker' fix (iteself, slightly fixed ...):
