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

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

Dear r-help, I have a radar data file in the following format: nrays for (1 to n_rays) { some_data_info for (1 to n_gates) { some_data_info} } N_rays=360 and n_gates=950 The data looks something like: Header line1 Ray1 header gate1 var1, var2,.....,varN ... gate950 var1, var2,.....,varN Ray2 header gate1 var1, var2,.....,varN ...

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

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

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

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,

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

I have just installed 6.3 on a machine that was previously running 5.8. Under 5.8 eth0 was eth0. Now with 6.3 /sbin/ifconfig gives me lo, wlan0 and p4p1 (instead of eth0). I would like to make the ethernet a static IP as I intend to for this to be machine used on my LAN only. However, when I do /usr/sbin/setup -> Network Configuration the device is not listed. Can anyone tell me why this is

Hi All, smplayer has no mailing list. I tried to register at http://forum.smplayer.info/ucp.php?mode=register but the capchas are so incredibly impossible to discern that I gave up after 5 tries. I tried the audio option, but the audio option plays so garbled it is impossible to understand. My audio is great. I play youtube vids with great clarity. So I am hoping someone who is on that forum to

Right, I understand that part. However I believe I'm now in the realm of making this specific to this machine as I have no guarantee that another identical machine will pop up with those same bus IDs. Maybe for the internal ports, but I don't know if the same will happen for the PCIe bus. Would that be correct? On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 6:21 PM, Kahlil Hodgson < kahlil.hodgson at

we have close to 50 servers. I would like to have X11 libraries (and devel). Instead of installing them one by one on all servers, I would like to have them in a central NFS location and have my app pick them up like that. Is it possible to do this with yum/rpm ? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--
