similar to: Strange Samba permissions on vfat (fat32) volume

Thanks a lot, Kevin. I have a new Linux box and tried to set it to UTC but I think gnome outsmarted me... I'll use -rt and maybe ignore timestamps entirely rather than the window. If I find something wrong on the USB stick I can always copy it again. I love the -c option, but it takes forever on slow media.

Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS,

#1 yes, you should use -rt instead of -a as everything else in -a is incompatible with vfat. #2 timestamps will always be a problem on vfat. It has a 1 or 2 second resolution so --modify-window=2 is a common solution. However, if you live somewhere that has yearly clock changes (we call it daylight savings time) those will cause the timestamps to be off by an hour on top of the 1-2 second

You don't have to change the system setting just change the TZ env variable in the terminal you run rsync in.

Hi, when i run mkfs using this command mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda5 i get this mkfs.vfat: No such file or directory is there a module i need to install to support vfat? -- Regards, Mark Quitoriano, CCNA Fan the flame... http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/register&r=19441 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello. I am trying to create a text file that contains an accent like '?' in it's filename on a vfat filesystem. This generates an error like the following: "test?.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing I have made a 'modprobe nls_cp850' and 'modprobe nls_iso8859-1' to load those needed modules. Then I mounted my FAT32 partition like this: mount -t

Hi, I've tried a couple of different versions/distros and can't seem to mount a FAT32 (vfat) partition and then share it with Samba, such that all use of R/A/S/H attributes (for files and folder) is maintained... So I'm wondering if this is even possible? I've most recently been testing with host: Debian 4.0 (Linux 2.6.18-4-686) which includes Samba 3.0.24 client: WinXP

Greetings, I''ve had no success with mounting a vfat file system created by a Windows XP guest on a lvm volume. # mount -t vfat /dev/vg1/win1 /mnt/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vg1/win1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so # dmesg FAT: invalid media value (0xb9) VFS:

I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS.

Hi, my name is Steven. I am trying to figure out the mount command to put into /etc/fstab; Basically I want a FAT32 partition mounted, but I want specific user/group ownership for a normal user of the mountpoint and all directorys/files in it. I currently have this in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda8 /home/steven/sda8 vfat locale=en_US.utf8,windows_names,uid=500,gid=501,umask=0022,noatime 0 0 but i get

I am running RedHat 7.1 on it's own linux drive, and have my win98 drive mounted in fstab as vfat. I have installed wine, and can run programs on my windows drive in old 8.3 named directoies. However, whenever I try to run anything in Program Files, for example (with the space in the file name), I get the following error: /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin: cannot find 'mnt/c/Program\

Hello I have used samba for many years, and it worked great (thanks!). Anyway, I recently decided to add a USB drive to the server. Currently running 2.6.29.2 linux kernel, debian etch. samba version 3.0.24 The USB drive is VFAT I am able to write small files remotely to the USB drive (a few Kb, 10's of Kb) without a problem. However, whenever I try to write something "larger"

I recently added a 60Gig HD to my little linux server at home with the intention of sharing it via Samba to all my PCs which run Windows 98SE. I really want to use vfat file system on it. The server is running Mandrake 8.1, so kernel 2.4.something, and the Samba that came with it. Much to my disappointment I quickly discovered poor performance copying files to it, the copy is like slow to get

Hi, we do a nightly backup using rsync (v2.5.6 as server on RedHat 7.3 and rsync 2.5.5 on Windows 2000/Cygwin). The backup media connected to the Windows-Client is a VFAT-formatted Maxtor USB-Disk. Everytime I run rsync from the windows-client, the following error occurs: --- <snip> --- rsync.exe -avzr --compress --stats --delete --timeout=240 --modify-window=2 rsync@server::development

Hi all, My system is : kernel 2.4.8 with ext3-0.9.6 patch e2fsprogs-1.22-2, mount-2.11g, util-linux-2.11f And ext3 filesystem works fine, but when a vfat partition is mounted: [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/tmp [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdd1 on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw) everything looks

it's most likely because of vfat timestamp limitation try --modify-window ????????????? When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than? the modify-window ????????????? value.?? This? is? normally? 0 (for an exact match), but you may find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situa- ????????????? tions.? In particular,
