similar to: [Bug 8566] New: Spotlight comments (extended attributes) are not synced

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

I have a problem with rsync on macintosh copying files that have not been updated. Despite careful reading of the archives, I can't find an explanation (or a fix), but I strongly suspect I'm just missing something that an expert will recognise instantly... Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm running a nightly backup of my photo/home video directory from a partition

Hi. I'm testing samba 4.2.0 vfs_fruit on Fedora Server 22-alpha. I confirmed that ResourceFork and FinderInfo are compatible with Netatalk 3.1.7. However, EAs are incompatible. The character ":" in EA name is wrong. The EAs are not seen from clients. smb.conf: [test2] path = /export/test2 writable = yes vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr fruit:locking =

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 Bombich maintains an excellent page about this, but it's a bit out of date, methinks, and his instructions point to patch files that return some interesting errors.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

Hi all. We have a file server using samba with a lot of Mac clients. Mac uses files called .DS_Store to store information about the layout of the files in the directory. We have a hierarchal storage system, and don't want to back up the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of .DS_store files. Currently we have a policy in place that these files don't get backed up, but they

I compiled 3.0.6pre1, including the crtimes and fileflags patches for use on Intel OS X 10.5.6, as described by Mr. Bombich (thanks!) here: <http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html> I want to use 3.0.6 because it seems that this bug: <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5365> has been resolved (yay!). ----- [~]$ rsync --version rsync version 3.0.6pre1 protocol version 30

So I have two issues. 1) Using Samba 4.19.2 with spotlight and elasticsearch 8.10.3 doesn?t work. Errors: [2023/10/22 09:04:17, 0] ../../source3/rpc_server/mdssvc/mdssvc_es.c:755(mds_es_search_http_read_done) mds_es_search_http_read_done: json_loadb failed 2) Using Samba 4.19.2 with spotlight and elasticsearch 7.17.10 works. There is a bug where when the samba server is running and files

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 :

Hello, yes sadly update 8.9 of elasticsearch broke the samba integration. Seems like 8.10 is still broken. Stay on 8.8 until this is fixed. Ive emailed Ralph B?hme of Sernet already, but hes got no time for it atm. Im not sure about the second part of your bug report though: > There is a bug where when the samba server is running and files are being indexed while samba is running finder

Somebody knows if it's possible to compile rsync (version 3 would be great, but can be 2.6.x) under Mac OS X 10.3.9 with extended attributes? Under OS 10.3.9 the Apple shipped rsync have not yet the -E argument option. RsyncX have a double free bug that is annoying. "Q" rsync 2.6.6 with extended attributes binary only works on 10.4 and above. I have tried to compile rsync

Hi, Is anyone using Spotlight with Elasticsearch in production and what kind of tweaking have you had to do? Certain search types seem to work out of the box, but others not. Perhaps fscrawler and Elasticsearch need some customization that the wiki doesn?t mention. There also seems to be a difference in using the main search box in the Finder window or the more granular options below, even if

Hello all, I have trouble to use rsync (tested with 3.0.2 and 3.0.3pre2) on MacOS X 10.3. Rsync always seems to stop when working on open files (?). Source is my laptop hard disk, destination a USB attached external drive. If I stop Firefox for instance all runs smoothly. This is how I built rsync: #!/bin/bash # VERSION=3.0.2 VERSION=3.0.3pre2 DIR="rsync-$VERSION"

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

When you say “real symlinks on OSX” do you mean an “alias” that Finder would create? Or a Unix-type symlink using the “ ln -s file link” command in Terminal? A Finder alias is not the same as a Unix-type symlink. My NAS runs Debian Linux with version 4.3.11 of smbd; my clients are all OSX Mojave. If I create an alias using Finder on the NAS, it behaves like a normal alias in OSX UNLESS I move

Awesome work Wayne. I have been following the various threads about running rsync 3.0.0 on MacOS X 10.4.11 and wanted to confirm that following all the various bits of advice yields a clean running rsync (as tested by backup bouncer). I am running MacOS X 10.4.11 on PPC. The following is a synopsis of my installation procedure (as gathered from the various emails in the archive) - note

Many years ago, on OSX 10.4 I was faced with the slow update of some Finder attributes. I was working on a script that worked in fact, but apparently did not consistently because of the delay, a very annoying problem tht it took time to identify. The solution that someone suggested to me was : osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to update folder (Mac path to the target

Hi! I am on Ubuntu 20.04 with the vendor provided Samba 4.15.13 packages. My smb.conf is at the end of the email. I have Gnome Tracker set up and working (from the command prompt on the server, tracker search keyword, is working) as per https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight_with_Gnome_Tracker_Backend However, from the macOS workstation side, Spotlight still does not appear to be working

Thanks Wayne and everybody, This is a huge boost to have a modern rsync for OSX. We're all grateful. Rob D PS I did notice that we lost the bsd flags test in 3.0.
