similar to: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 7668] New: Add --omit-symlink-times option, same purpose as --omit-dir-times

I was wondering if anyone would have any input on a patch to add another command line feature, --omit-symlink-times. We recently ran into a problem with rsync (at least with the way we use it): - We need to preserve file modification times between the source and destination (--preserve-times) - The user performing the rsync may not always be the owner of the files on the destination (but is

Greetings rsync gurus, As I understand the documentation "--backup" without specifying "--backup-dir" implicitly sets "--omit-dir-times". It is then possible to negate the implied option by specifying it prefixed with "--no". The resulting option "--no-omit-dir-times" runs without any warnings or errors but does not transfer modification times on

My backup script split filesystem dumps to files with size of 4,37 GB (4 588 544 kB). It's just an optimal size to fill out DVDs. At this moment I have to burn them from windows via smb-link becuase I didn't manage to do this task from FreeBSD console due to 2GB/4GB filesize restrictions (growisofs). I'm using freeware CDBurnerXP to burn my backups (ISO9660/UDF/Joliet), and they

Overnight I was running a zfs send | zfs receive (both within the same system / zpool). The system ran out of space, a drive went off line, and the system is degraded. This is a raidz2 array running on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Sat Sep 18 23:43:48 EDT 2010. The following logs are also available at http://www.langille.org/tmp/zfs-space.txt <- no line wrapping This is what was running: #

Is the following passage from help("file.info"): "Junction points and symbolic links are followed, so information is given about the file/directory to which the link points rather than about the link." correct? Could it be that Windows was not considered? help("file.symlink") mentions several Windows-related issues, but none of those are related to the following.

Hi, FreeBSD has excellent PAM-support, except for the passwd-command. The passwd-command gained PAM support quite a while ago, but there is a test preventing it from working with PAM. There have been outstanding PR's for this minor issue for years now, I think it's time this one got fixed. People find it frustrating that they can't change their passwords (LDAP etc), like they

Similar to --omit-{dir,link}-times: --omit-device-times omit device files from --times --omit-special-times omit sockets and fifos from --times Also, fix corner case that allows --omit-dir-times to be ignored. See unchanged_attrs() and recv_generator()'s call to try_dests_non(). Marc. diff -aNpRruz -X /etc/diff.excludes rsync-3.2.7/generator.c devel-3.2.7/generator.c ---

I often push files from my user account over SSH to my web server, and want them owned by www-user, which may not have a login shell, should never accept remote logins, and who may not have a ~/.ssh directory (and if it did, it would be under the wwwroot, ack!). Currently I push as root and then do a chmod, but isn't there a better way? While I'm doing this, the files are temporarily

Hi, We're having some trouble with detection of a couple of Sil3124 SATA controller cards on newer motherboard and processor combos. Specifically, we're running a Supermicro X9SCM-F motherboard (latest BIOS) and Intel E3-1220v2 CPU. What we're seeing: - Syba Sil3124 PCIe cards are only being detected when installed in PCIe Slot 4 -- The motherboard documentation shows that this

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13735 --- Comment #3 from Sébastien Béhuret <sbehuret at gmail.com> --- Thank you for suggesting the patches repo. An improved checksum/maybe-checksum algorithm would be great but there appears to be a lot of work to achieve this. Checksums are very handy for special cases (e.g. to detect and fix data corruption) but are still relatively slow and

Hi all, I recently ran into some problems with rsync. My plan is to renew some of our old administration concepts from early 90's, I already replaced rdist with rsync a few years ago. Because of the rdist legacy, the current method requires synchronizing files into 6 different locations, {/alt,/usr/alt}/{hostdep,sysdep,hutdep}, which in turn are prioritized by a tool that just symlinks

Hello, I'm having problems with rsync 3.0.5 setting the mtime. I haven't see anything in the newer changelogs about it though... I am running rsync over SSH *from* a jail on one machine *to* a different host machine, and pulling files from that host into the jail. The problem is that the mtime never gets updated, so on every run it transfers the same files. There aren't any

Dear All, Along with the files that suddenly disappear, we have a bit of a problem with these that do not. Namely, in my test runs I can see a small but stable set of files, that rsync is repeatedly trying to transfer, and then repeatedly fails to updates their times ; and then the story repeats itself. The situation is illustrated by the log snippet below, where I have changed file names to

Hello, This is probably a long email, but please bear with me. I plan to submit a patch and would like to explain what I will do before doing it so I don't lose time if there's some flaw in my plan. I currently use sshfs to mount directories from some computers and a NAS into other computers. I recently noticed that when copying some files from one computer into one of these sshfs
