similar to: osx 10.6 strange rsync errors

Hi Rob / Wayne, Sorry for the slow reply Rob. I'm not sure of the requirements for patches, but I think it would be useful to create one for this case as there are reasonably number of people affected. I created a patch file against the current version (see below). Would it be possible to include this patch in the official list? Cheers Ira diff -Naur rsync-3.0.8_orig/receiver.c

What patch files are necessary to build rsync-3.0.9 for OS X 10.6.8 (Darwin 10.8.0)? Mr. Bombich maintains an excellent page about this, but it's a bit out of date, methinks, and his instructions point to patch files that return some interesting errors. My rsync-3.0.9 is working just fine, btw, with the fileflags and crtimes and hfs-compression patches applied; I just wondered if the others

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

hi, all. I had an problem with rsync-2.5.4/5 related to filename length. On Linux box (kernel-2.4.18 + ext3 fs), filename length limits to 255byte, but rsync can't handle fn > (255 -9) byte. So I had an instant hack to avoid this problem. Patch file attatched works fine in my case, but I'm not sure that it is correct or not. Any suggestions ? Please cc me, I'm not on this

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm backing up a file named 'wh.txt' with the destination an aufs volume - rsync creates a partial filename like '.wh.txt.M8ucDx', which results in an Operation not permitted (1) error - aufs reserves '.wh.*' names for whiteout records I think. Other than ignoring the problem and using --inplace, it doesnt look like I can

I assume there's some good reason for the way filenames are faithfully maintained as temp files, but it's a little frustrating when you get "filename too long" messages as a result... with no indication of what file it was it's complaining about. The obvious fix is to simply generate a tmpname and have done with it. Possibly safer, truncate the filename, in case there's

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

All callers of robust_rename() call copy_file() if EXDEV is received. This patch moves the copy_file() call into robust_rename().

There is a small race condition in rsync 2.5.6. When the transfer is finished, and the file is moved into place, there is a short time period where the new file is in place with the wrong permissions. When using rsync on a busy email server to replace the exim config file with a new file, exim will produce several complaints in that short period. This small patch fixes the problem, by making

The attached patch provides an additional check for the checksumming mode to ensure that a file that is actually written out to disk can be read back and has the same MD4 sum as the file on at the originating location.

I came up with a patch to fix the problem of IO Errors caused by excluded files as did Eugene V. Chupriyanov below. Is there a chance that this change will show up in a future version of rsync? Is there a reason that we should not ignore IO errors when copy_links is off? Just want to make sure that I'm not missing something here that may corrupt my syncs.... Here's the version that

Does win32 have pathconf() and _PC_NAME_MAX? I ask for ogg123 -- it uses "NAME_MAX" right now (already been mentioned on this list a few times), which does not exist everywhere. I've proposed changing it to use the pathconf() function, but I don't know if win32 has this or not (I don't have, or want, access to win32 compilers :-). If win32 doesn't have pathconf(), we

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 3) * Don't link empty files. * Roll over to new file when filesystem maximum link count is reached. * If link fails for another reason, leave

Has anyone managed to get ogg123 to compile in AIX? I'm got an RS6k with a PPC 604e, running AIX 4.3.3. I can get libogg, libvorbis, libao, oggenc (so, everything _but_ ogg123) to compile just fine. I'm using gcc, thankfully, and not the native IBM compilers. I believe the problem to be with the linker. By default gcc for AIX doesn't use the GNU linker, but the standard AIX
