Folks, Thinking again about the issue of changed attributes for a file in source that is identical in content to a file in destination that is hard linked get propagated to the --link-dest directories I would like to suggest a new flag, (perhaps called something like --preserve-linked-attributes), to allow callers to get the behaviour that is needed to allow the use of recycled

Paul Wayne, Kevin, Teodor and others, Thanks for your contributions in response to my postings. Paul: I was very imprecise if not plain wrong in my description. :-( Thanks for explaining what really happens. > "Rsync will not update an existing file in-place unless you use the > --inplace option. So --whole-file is irrelevant for this. > Rsync (without --inplace) will always

rsync Folks, The following explanatory text is by me and the patches are by Rowan McKenzie for use by the Advanced Scientific Computing group at CSIRO. This patch builds upon the --link-dest patch by Bryant Hansen (Thanks heaps!). 1. The original patch provided an alternate behaviour for rsync when using the --link-dest option. When there are identical files in the source and link-dest areas,

Folks, We use rsync extensively for protecting data by making backups. Thank you to the authors and maintainers. Like many others, we use the --link-dest option to cut down on the space occupied by the backups. Unlike many others, we re-cycle old backup directories. Since most file systems change only slowly (ours average about 0.5% of files and about 1.5% of data being churned each day), a

Dear rsync folks, Re the recent discussion of: Subject: RE: Does files-from work with --delete? We have come across the same issue, in doing partial backups of a file system and using the --files-from and --link-dest feature to a re-cycled area. Files that should be deleted tend to build up. I mentioned this issue to a colleague. He suggested that after the backup is done, a reverse rsync -n

Folks, bugs at stupidkitties.com wrote: " I was wondering if it'd be feasible to add an option (or multiple options, depending on the desired granularity) to cause rsync to treat changes in file attributes the same way it treats changes to the file's contents when it encounters hard links at the destination. Maybe something like --relink-p or something?" One of colleagues has

rsync watchers, I've been using rsync version 3.1.1+, and do like the improved --stats output: e.g. Number of files: 2480403 (reg: 2034290, dir: 233487, link: 212174, special: 452) Number of created files: 356 (reg: 6, dir: 3, link: 347) Number of regular files transferred: 16 ... - thanks to the developers. However, I want to be able to look at the --stats output and make a decision

Thanks to Kevin and Paul for responses. We use a modified Tower of Hanoi scheme (on top of rsync and --link-dest and recycling) for deciding which backups to keep. Here is a sample of our holdings for one area: home.20111124.seq.0 set 0 home.20130512.seq.512 set 10 home.20140203.seq.768 set 9 home.20140414.seq.832 set 7 home.20140708.seq.896 set 8 home.20140815.seq.928 set 6

Folks, We faced a similar situation to that which Ken described - we recycle backup directories, for good reason. There is a patch to solve the problem. Our systems administrator provided the following description of the patches we use: ============================================================================ 1. rsync_link_dest improvement by Bryant Hansen Normally, existing files in

Hi, When building an xenU guest kernel do you need to make ARCH=xen ?? as I am trying to build a kernel that includes a patch for abi-sco that has parts build against i386 and I believe that this is causing the build not to work.

Hello, I'm have an established Samba domain, where Samba is the PDC. It is working well with XP and Win7 clients. However, there is some bespoke software that must run on a Windows Server, due to the number of concurrent connections issue. So, we have installed a Windows 2008 R2 server and joined it to the Samba domain. This worked fine after applying the registry changes listed on the

Hi, I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX) and Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS v3 share, and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3). When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I can see 132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65 files. There appear to be nothing special about the
