Ok, hopefully there is a solution to this. I've been experimenting with multiple rsyncs in preparation for pulling the trigger on the mail server switch, but have a problem that I really want to fox before doing so. Apparently something causes Thunderbirds local message cache to get out of sync with dovecot after a sync. Here is the series of commands I'm running: 1. stop postfix,

Starting a new thread, as I've got a lot more details now... First, I know this may be (or is even likely) something weird happening with Thunderbird, but the bottom line is, I have to find a resolution or a workaround or something, or I will be unable to pull the trigger on the server migration. It is simply unacceptable to lose ANY mails doing this. Goal: migrate mailstore from old

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

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 all, Ok, I'm attempting to rsync a large datastore (email), and want to change the ownership of the target directories and files. I saw the --chmod option in man rsync, but didn't see a --chown option... What I'd like to do is something like: rsync -avHP --chown vmail:vmail /mnt/old-mail/ /var/vmail/mail/ So the ownership of all dirs and file on the target are vmail:vmail

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

What's your dd command? Are you sure you are writing to the raw disk and not inside a partition?

Greetings, I am having a problem with rsync deleting entire folders and files and then attempting to recopy the entire contents of the folder(s) even though they are up to date. The task is syncing from ubuntu (rsync version 3.1.1) to windows using cygwin (rsync version 3.1.2). I have a number of these configurations, and they all work except this one. I use the modify-window=600 and cannot

I have a large disk full of data that I'd like to upgrade to SW RAID 1 with a minimum of downtime. Taking it offline for a day or more to rsync all the files over is a non-starter. Since I've mounted SW RAID1 drives directly with "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX" it would seem possible to flip the process around, perhaps change the partition type with fdisk or parted, and remount as

Hello, I am using rsync to do daily backups on another filesystem. Whenever a folder has been renamed or moved on the source, rsync will delete all the recursive files on the destination filesystem, and then recopy them to the newly named/moved folder. This can take a long time. Is there a way to get rsync to simply re-link the files instead? It looked like maybe the -H option might, but I am

I did the dd if=CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso of=/dev/sdd to a 16G USB disk then tried to use it on an install. The installer said invalid install media. Any way to verify if the "write" to disk was good ? I got no errors on the dd. I did re-download the iso and did a diff and there was no diff. So I think my iso is OK. Jerry

Hi all, Ok, if this isn't possible with some kind of wildcard, I can adjust the target manually, but if I can just modify the command to allow for the different folder structure on the target, I'd rather do that. I'm incrementally rsync'ing my mailstore from the old server to the new server, doing testing along the way. The command I'm currently using is: rsync

How do I minimize the amount of disk activity? I'm copying a large number of files: rsync -av -W /from/here/. /to/here/. I'm using rsync because I need the incremental updates and other features. Otherwise, I'd use tar piped to tar or some similar technique. Note: Both the source and destination are "local". Well, not really. The source is a network-mounted partition

Hi there, I would like to know if it is possible to modify a text file with a R function. In fact I would like to know if a function "Search & Replace" exists. My problem is to create config files from a Base file in which I have to modify values of parameters. My Base File: #... #... Param1= V1_1 #... Param2 = V2_1 Param3 = V3_1 #... What I would like for each created file

I have some questions about whether I should set up folders under INBOX vs. having them outside the INBOX namespace. I'm setting up a new Dovecot 2.2.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 server. My plan is to move my users (family members) to this new server from an old Cyrus server. Everybody is currently using (and will continue to use) IMAP, and either Thunderbird or SquirrelMail as their e-mail

The latest rsync (2.6.5) seems to invoke the transport specified by $RSYNC_RSH differently. I have this set to point at an ssh wrapper script (which is now I noticed), and an strace shows this: [archives/silva]#root@jazzbo*> strace -e trace=process -f /opt/bin/rsync -avHP /mnt/phat/archives/silva/. root@ali:/a/ali/home/.............

Edouard, These are the 4 available parameters containing the word "inherit". inherit acls (S) inherit owner (S) inherit permissions (S) map acl inherit (S) Would "inherit acls" work for you?

Hi, this is my first message here. I need help, the reason is in the title. The version running is SAMBA_4.0.0ALPHA18_DEVELOPERBUILD It was running just fine until I had (for some reason) had to transfer all the system (ubuntu 11.10 server) to another clean hard drive. I used "rsync -rltgoHDv /olddriveroot /newdriveroot" to copy the files, and installed grub on the new disk. Now the
