Hi! Usually dovecot auto detects or repairs the size of a maildir message. So I can place a message named "foo" in the cur directory and dovecot uses it. Now I tried the same with a zlib compressed message but here dovecot doesn't recognize/repair the size of the message. When I access this folder via IMAP the connection is diconnected and in dovecot logs I see the following

Hi all. A while ago (April 15th or so) I posted a patch that allows rsync to take multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest arguments, allowing fetching of files not present in multiple trees. I never got any feedback on it, though, so I'm picking it up again. :) Is there any interest in such a patch at all? Below is the usage example i outlined back then; --start-- [...] Its primary usage is

Hi all, I was busy programming a tool to automatically run some tests to update the FLAC comparison page (http://xiph.org/flac/comparison.html) when I stumbled across some weird behaviour of the flac program. So I compiled from git and it seems that this bug still is there. As I don't have any experience on coding C and don't know which bug-report facility to use, this seemed the

hei everyone, I have a weird problem: if I do a # cd /somedir; stat somesubdir |grep Modify where /somedir is some directory on an SMB-mounted filesystem I get one datetime... but I I do: # cd /somedir; stat * |grep Modify for the same directory I get a Modify time which consistently differs by 1 second. As I'm writing a perl module to detect differences in a filesystem and rely on the

Do not pass GLOB_MARK as flag for glob(3) in the daemon implementation of glob, so names of directories will not have a trailing slash. This allows users to have filenames that can be used with other tools, such as rm. Add a new test to check this (based on RHBZ#1293271). A mild behaviour change is that users of the glob API now need to append the slash when building paths using its results.

Greetings. If I do this: rsync --hard-links one.server.com::"module/somedir/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 module/someotherdir/1.0/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386" /export/distros I get: /export/distros/i386/... and a conflict between the two sources. I want for destination: /export/distros/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 /export/distros/1.0/images/redhat/3.0WS/en/os/i386 In other

I'd like to know a little about the internals of RSYNC. I am a little confused as to why RSYNC is using both the simple 32 bit algorithm and the MD4 checksum function on the same files. From my testing this causes a vast overhead that is clearly not represented by RCP (fairly obvious!). Removing checksumming from a secure whole-file LAN transfer brings RSYNC in line with the general

I've done quite a bit of looking, but I haven't found an answer that answers this question. Environment: cygwin on Windows rsync 3.0.4 I know that rsync isn't optimzed for speed on local copies - that's clear in my testing. I'm attemting to sync a large volume of files. (In this case, I'm syncing a rdiff-backup set...) An initial sync will be about one fourth as fast a

I've got a setup where I run nfs over ssh on several distros, and it's been working like a charm on suse, mandrake, redhat 7-9 etc, but I've been unable to get it to work on CentOS. First I set up ssh portforwarding using: /usr/bin/ssh root@<remotehost> -L 250:irc.dynip.no:2049 -f sleep 60d & Then I mount using the following params in fstab: localhost:/somedir

I've been very interested in these discussions and uses of rsync as a "clone" of Time Machine. A couple of things have been keeping me from a fully automated solution. I'd like to eliminate the need for Samba/NFS mounts of any kind, because they have proven to be unreliable for me and under some operating environments (Cygwin) it breaks --link-dest.

IF ssh is a replacement for rlogin,rsh etc I can accept it respecting rlogin=false as rlogin does and rsh does not, however scp is a replacement for rcp, and rcp does NOT use rlogin attribute, so the implementation is NOT standard as scp fails if rlogin=false, but rcp succeeds, as documented. thanks mark

Hi All, I am looking for SCP or RCP standards. I searched on the web but I am not able to find the standards. Please mail me the link where I can find the standards for SCP or RCP. Thanks, Abhijeet

I got used to rsync's -v --progress option so much that I used it instead of rcp even to simply copy files across the network. I dont like software that doesnt talk to me! :-) I like the percentage bar that --progress gives! To my surprise, I found that, when dealing with 1GB+ files, rsync is 4-5 _times_ slower than rcp. Yes, I know that rsync is optimized for sending deltas to a file

Hello we are doing regular backups of the mdbox mail folders using dsync -u username backup mdbox:/somedir/BACKUPS/username (still with version 2.1.10, but 2.2.5 is in testing phase) We do observe that the directory size in the BACKUPS directory is growing with respect to the original mail folders. I believe this is due to deleted mails not being purged in the backup. We are doing regular

Hi, I'm having a peculiar problem with my Samba server and have not been able to figure out how to solve it. I've had this server for a very long time, but recently the main hard drive failed and I only kept backups of the user files. I set the server back up with Debian Wheezy and Samba 3.6.6. My problem is as follows: I have 4 Unix users and groups: user1:group1 (admin account, so has

Hi, I have been using rsync for many years and never had any kind of problem. Lately I am running out of RAM trying to do an incremental backup to a box that only has 2G of RAM. The entire directory structure I'm mirroring is about 200G of files. A minority of subdirectories have many files. Is there a way to do an incremental backup with --delete option that does not use as much memory? Is
