Hi, The problem I found is not in what rsync, but on the error handling: How to reproduce: On server side I setup a tree and share using rsync + xinetd, of course, for security reason I use chroot option.

If I have a backup script that does the following: (latest 2.6.9 rsync) rsync --archive --hard-links --force --ignore-errors --numeric-ids --keep-dirlinks --delete / /backup I've found that if there is a symlink in place that gets backed up (which goes fine), i.e.: homelink -> /home/ and then that symlink gets changed into an actual directory, i.e.: rm homelink mkdir homelink rsync

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended. Details/example: - Host 1 directory-structure: drwx------ ./1

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

Hi folks, I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R (--relative) and -H. so far ok but: I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant directory names on target. How can I achieve that? I thought -k

Hi! I've been attempting to use rsync to sync a set of files between my laptop and my desktop. I've tried using google to search the archives, but didn't find anything that addressed this issue exactly... First of all, here are the details of how I have things set up.

Hello, list Rsync is a amazing tools for files and directories syncing. There is something unclearly to me. I digged in the web for a while, but there aren't useful things for me. Here is my puzzle: I want to sync one big directory from one host to a remote host. And there are several symbolic links which linked to some files and directories that outside the certain directory. I want to

Hi On the rsync Server we have rsync path set to say, path= /x/y where 'y' is symlink to some other directory say 'z' on the same machine. Now is there a way to sync 'y' on remote client preserving the symlink as it is and also copy the actual contents from 'z' to say 'z' on the client machine. I have tried using '-l ' option which copies

We have an odd problem with the rsync 2.6.6. When we issue rsync -vvrLxHpogDtSP server::image/ / it deletes certain directories. We're sync'ing to / because we don't know ahead of time which files will appear on the server. For example, some init scripts get populated into the rsync module, appearing ultimately as server::image/etc/init.d/script, but we don't know ahead of

Hi, I have gone through the rsync documentation and also tested same both --no-implied-dir and --keep-dirlinks options. My question is what is the difference between these options in below scenario?

Hi, I just read the thread http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-June/009678.html which describes how --keep-dirlinks came to be. My use case is similar, but I?d like a similar option for files as well. Setup: in my public_html I have some symlinks which I send over as files, with -L (for various reasons: partly, because they are copies of current work which is done elsewhere, or

Hi, in my backup script I'm using the "-L" option to transform symlinks into referent files/dirs. Now I'm also using the "--delete" option. Unfortunately "--delete" doesnt work if an error like "Symlink has no referent" occurs. So far the only solution for that seems to not use the "-L" option or to add "--ignore-errors". It

Hi All, I am using rsync to backup one server to another. I am connecting to the rsync daemon on the remote server and pulling to the backup server. When using SSH this error does not occur, but there are reasons why I have to use rsync directly. The problem I am having is that some of the symlinks on the remote machine will not copy. I am attempting to copy their referent by using the -L

Hello, when trying to rsync files between hosts, I ran into a surprising case in which rsync replaces a symlink with a directory, with no indication of any kind. In the following reproducer, rsync is called as follows: rsync --verbose --recursive --relative --delete a/./lib/modules b/ Directory b contains a 'lib' symlink pointing to 'usr/lib', and rsync removes that and

rsync's -v is fairly useless. Learn to use -i instead or in addition to.
