similar to: How to set different permissions on target

Hi all, Ok, since 3.1 still isn't in stable, I'm curious if I can just find the equivalent of: rsync -avHP --delete --exclude-from '/home/user/excludes.txt' /mnt/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/ But that will ignore differences in permissions - ie, won't recopy everything, just because the permissions on the source are different from the permissions on the target...

Ok, I know I should probably be using dsync for this, but I'm more familiar with rsync, and didn't think this would be a problem. Here is what I am doing, and what is apparently happening (only done this once, but I'm guessing it will happen each time): rsync -avHP /mnt/vmail/example.com/user1/ /var/vmail/example.com/user1/ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail/example.com Ok, so far

My brain must be on knots somehow. I try to install rsync 3.x, which I know is in rpmforge repo for my architecture: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22214 http://packages.sw.be/rsync/ But yum does not find it, however I try. I have installed yum-priorities. Rpmforge is low priority. But still... yum erase rsync # erase v2.6 from base repo yum --disablerepo=\*

Hello Now I am developing a project. I want abstract rsync from cygwin and use = it at Windows platform. The problem is when use rsyn -e ssh, it always = requires a password. So I use ssh-agent/ssh-add, but in command line = environment, rsync can't reconize the ssh-agent. It still require a = password once I use rsync. Would you please help me to solve this problem?

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

Hi, I have rsync 3.0.1 installed on Fedora 9 distribution. I want to update rsync to it's new release which is 3.0.7. I am not exactly sure how to proceed... I saw some source code tar files on rsync home page, but I am not too sure what to do with those. The Linux machine I mention has no internet access. If somebody can provide a set of instructions on how to update rsyn to a newer

Hello guys! I'm doing a middle scale backup job using ccollect [0], which uses rsyn, with about 50 servers, each about 1-10 GiB changes per day and have some problems, that servers do not finish their backup completly: [host1.backup] Read from remote host host1.backup: Connection reset by peer [host1.backup] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (41306592 bytes received so far) [receiver]

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

Hi. While debugging some encfs errors in the logs, I realized they are being generated because rsync (chrooted inside a encfs file system, --reverse) is trying to access files like: /root/.popt, /etc/localtime etc. This doesn't seem to be related to ID-name mapping as I already have numeric ids enabled in config. Here is the relevant strace output: [pid 25549] chroot("/chroot")

Hi all, I have 4 glusterd servers running a single glusterfs volume. The volume was created using the gluster command line, with no changes from default. The same machines all mount the volume using the native glusterfs client: [root at localhost ~]# gluster volume create datastore replica 2 transport tcp 192.168.253.1:/glusterfs/primary 192.168.253.3:/glusterfs/secondary

I'm copying a partition that has a bunch of hardlink based snapshots (-aPH). I think there's about 250,000 files in each backup and between 100 and 200 snapshots. Earlier today, I saw the files had completed and it was making all the hardlinks. I thought it would be "not long" but it's been making hardlinks for 12 hours (at least). There's only 36Gb in snapshot, the

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to keep a mirror and 7 day incremental backup between to 2 mount points. I want to rsync everything from /mnt/production/ to /mnt/backup/production/ on the same server. Nothing fancy. But , I Want to utilize the --delete option for files that no longer exist on /mnt/production/ that have been on /mnt/backup/production/ for longer then 7 days. I

Hi, I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server. I have both my kickstart file and my iso image for centos6.5 on my vmware datastore, but am trying to run my kickstart file from VMware guest. Can I tell the command line to run from the datastore in VMWare? Or must I convert my kickstart file to a

Hi All, For a backup purpose I'm trying to transfer only the changed blocks of large files. Thus I've run "rsync" with the appropriate options: RSYNC_BKPDIR=`mktemp -d` rsync \ --archive \ --no-whole-file \ --inplace \ --backup \ --backup-dir="$RSYNC_BKPDIR" \ --verbose \ --stats \ /var/backups/mysql-dbs/. \ /mnt/bkp/var/backups/mysql-dbs/.

Hi all, I've been trying out Gluster Platform, so some info will be from the management interface. If additional data from logs is required, please let me know which logfiles. When using a Gluster NFS volume as a ESXi datastore, creation of a disk file (vmdk) takes a considerable amount of time (with unfsd using 10-50% cpu) and then crashes unfsd. A reboot of the system seems necessary to

I sent a long message yesterday describing a problem I thought had to do with the JIT stubs. After further investigating, the problem seems to be in the code generation. The following basic block seems to have an error in it's code generation: __exp.exit: ; preds = %codeRepl258, %__exp_bb_bb.exit phi double [ 1.000000e+00, %codeRepl258 ], [ %.reload.reload.i,

Hi there, like topic sais, I'd like to build a domain-system with two locations. Our users work one day here the other day in the other place. The two locations are connected via VPN (10MBit). To have one datastore in sync on both locations I was thinking about something like a distributed filesystem (e.g. ceph). Why? I hope to be able to setup the cluster between the two locations with a

I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi
