similar to: tidy dir recursive, but preserve itself

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under Resources ( http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources), I assume that users can be purged. However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true, noop => true } and what I get is: err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for nil:NilClass.

Often we need to preserve the information atime conveys, but I have found no way to get rsync to preserve this, nor any hint it is being worked on. It would be great if 'rsync -t' also set atime not just mtime -- or maybe a new option is desired for atime. I don't know if the -X mentioned in "NEWS file from CVS" covers this: > Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver

Hi there, I''m running puppetmasterd manually while testing, and I was trying to split my manifest in several parts using import. If I do so whenever I run the puppetmasterd the manifest gets loaded and served correctly: cognos ~ # puppetmasterd -v info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.20.0 info: Parsed manifest in 0.02 seconds info: /var/lib/puppet/files: allowing *.example.org

Hey, I have a very trivial parsedfile based type - http://pastie.org/311146 - that works fine when deployed and run under puppetd -t. However, when being run by the daemonized puppet, it results in this error: Mon Nov 10 03:50:48 +0000 2008 //Node[ams-proxy-2]/quagga/Quagga::Daemon[zebra]/Quagga_service[zebra] (err): Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No ability to determine if

Hello all, I am trying to use the tidy type to clean up a directory that I use for running scripts via puppet. My relevant manifest looks like: tidy { "/root/.puppet/" : age => ''30D'', path => ''/root/.puppet/'', recurse => true, rmdirs => true, type => atime, } However, when I run puppet it

Hi, I know those questions have been asked before but that was more than an year ago. I'm hoping the situation has evolved now. I'd like to use rsync as a backup tool to move around some data. I often have to move hundreds of GB, and that takes some time. I'd like to use rsync so that if something happens, I can restart the migration without loosing what has already been

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

The way gnutar "preserves" atime is by noting it before the read, and setting it back after the read, thus wiping out a legitimate setting of atime occuring during that interval. Yeah, the netapps mess with unix times. Did you notice that mtime and ctime always match? Now that I know you're on a netapp, though, your problems are solved. Snapshot and sync from the snapshot, then

In the past there have been discussions about adding a switch to rsync to preserve the atime on files being copied by rsync. I needed this function for a project I'm working on and decided to invent it. I've attached the diffs. Note that this has the limitations describe in previous emails, namely that preserving atime causes ctime to not be preserved. *** Patch follows *** ***

Greetings all- I am conducting security testing on a device that uses Linux 2.4 with ext3. I am testing secure overwrite of remnant data in temporary files, but have run into a real good stumpper in the way Ext allocates data blocks. I've got 10 yrs of *NIX behind me, several with Linux, and this has really got me perplexed as I can't find any documentation explaining the subject

Hello, since we are using rsync for backing up millions of files in a virtual environment, and most of the virtual machines run on SSD cached storage, i`d be curious how that negatively impacts lifetime of the SSD`s when we do rsync run every night for backup my question: does rsync normal file comparison run to determine if anything has changed change atime of any files ? for me it seems,

Hi Everyone, The following feature request was received by a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, but perhaps should be enabled only conditionally (as if the argument parser isn't stressed enough).

What are the filesystem requirements for dovecot - for example I see some people are running with atime updates switched off (as I intend to do so myself), so presumably dovecot has no need of an accurate atime implementation. How about directory atime? ctime/mtime etc? I'm intending to run on a linux box using local disk, so am currently considering using reiserfs (3.6) with noatime,

Thanks for the answer. The problem that this way is pretty much the same as my find. I want you to be able to delete the file based on the date they were sent to the bin. As I gave in the example: The file has not been changed since 2015, when it is deleted now in 2017, it goes to the bin, dated 2015, when the find pass will erase, why it does not validate when it has been deleted, but the

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

It looks like I need to elaborate further to get a feedback. I checked the rsync source code and it is using utime() to restore atime file attribute. It is fine to change ctime for that transferred file in this case. What we are having problem is that when rsync gets kicked off and transfers one file to the destination, this action changes ctime of "all" files in the same
