Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

On systems using nanoseconds differences should be taken into consideration. --- a/generator.c 2014-06-14 01:05:08.000000000 +0200 +++ b/generator.c 2014-12-25 11:19:54.000000000 +0100 @@ -588,7 +588,13 @@ if (ignore_times) return 0; - return cmp_time(st->st_mtime, file->modtime) == 0; + return cmp_time(st->st_mtime, file->modtime) == 0 +#ifdef ST_MTIME_NSEC + ?

Hi, we needed these changes when we had to build a guest image compatible with a starting guest image but not backed by it in any way? We needed some tool to check our progress, comparing original and? rebuilt (from scratch) images, and virt-diff seemed the best option, but? we had to soften the comparison to reduce the noise in the output. I added some options to ignore certain informations when

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

Hi. I'm running maildir quotas with rc1 (dovecot-20060628) and get the following when trying to APPEND: "NO Unknown error" System logs show: Quota: Couldn't get new message's size .... and the file isn't there (unknown if Dovecot removed it, or if the lack of the file is the cause of the error). I reverted back to dovecot-20060621 and APPEND is now working again.

After supermin has finished running, the initramfs files sit around occupying swappable memory but serving no further purpose. This saves a little memory, at the cost of about 1ms of extra boot time. --- init/init.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 48 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/init/init.c b/init/init.c index 733d66e..5ac53e9 100644 ---

Hi, I have awaited the new release inorder to use the -"-partial-dir" option. But after testing it seems that it does not behave like it says on the tin. It will correctly move and rename the interrupted file to the declared directory, but it will not attempt to use it when the client attempts to rsync the file again. I have a Solaris 8 box running as a server (Matthew), and another

While going through an old todo list I found that these patches had fallen by the way-side. About a year ago I initiated a discussion[1] with the Linux kernel folks regarding the lack of any useable fadvise support on the kernel side. As a result, I was observing extremely poor performance on my server after backup as executable pages were being swapped out in favor of data waiting to be flushed

The entries in xenstore have permission attributes. The attributes can be easily altered by xenstore-chmod, however, I cannot find a easy way to see them. I''ve modified xenstore_client.c to raise a new utility. The utility checks the permission and makes an easy-look output. Please tell me any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello all Im using sftp 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 in a batchjob Ive noticed that sftp needs a long time for sending a filelist. The timespan increases exponential if many files are on the remoteserver. for example "ls -la *.txt" needs 10 seconds for 2000 files but needs 50 seconds for 4000 files. For 150.000 Files i have to wait 15 minutes for example but the

Hi, the sftp client from openssh package can't upload data from local pipe to remote file. For example, such a command fails: $ cat file | sftp -b <(echo 'put /dev/stdin /directory/filename') -i ~/.ssh/key user at remote.host sftp> put /dev/stdin /directory/filename /dev/stdin is not a regular file What is a purpose for such a behaviour and limitation? As experiment, I removed

Unlink files, symlinks, FIFOs, devices etc. (except directories) before writing them when extracting CPIOs. This stops weird behaviour like: 1) writing through symlinks created in earlier CPIOs. eg foo->bar in the first CPIO. Having foo as a non-link in a subsequent CPIO, results in bar being written and foo remaining as a symlink. 2) if the first version of file foo is larger

As those of you who watch CVS will be aware Wayne has been making progress in reducing memory requirements of rsync. Much of what he has done has been the product of discussions between he and myself that started a month ago with John Van Essen. Most recently Wayne has changed how the file_struct and its associated data are allocated, eliminating the string areas. Most of these changes have been

Hey Guys, Below is a patch for the com32/rosh/rosh.c from tonights syslinx git. The patch does the following: 1) changes the rosh_issp to use an if instead of a case for this simple test. 2) changes the rosh_dir_arg function to move the readdir() to inside the while test. This will let me go through my APUE book. Let me know if you have any questions. Keith --- rosh.orig 2009-03-05

In fixing how we deal with bad inodes, we had a regression in the orphan cleanup code, since it expects to get a bad inode back. So fix it to deal with getting -ESTALE back by deleting the orphan item manually and moving on.
