similar to: Preventing an atomic copy

I noticed that this topic appeared from time to time on the mailing list and that one patch exists (copy-devices.diff) from a previous thread which allowed rsync to operate with a source device file. The patch below, when combined with the 'copy-devices' patch, allows rsync to be operate between two device files. In our environment this is being used, along with LVM snapshots, to

I have been doing some experiments with rsync on btrfs, a copy-on-write file system that is approaching or having just achieved production-ready status depending on your requirements. For my purposes the reliability appears by almost all accounts to be there, and the compression alone makes it very compelling. However the following two experiments show rsync behaviors that are disappointing to

I am using rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on a Fedora 7 system to backup files to a network drive. rsync is getting I/O errors when copying maildir files (I'm not sure if the error is happening with other files but these are the only ones I have found so far). I have done some tests on one particular directory, "cp -R" succeeds but "rsync -r" fails:- home#

I use rsync on an SSD which is slow at writing, but very fast at reading, so it is important to me to avoid writing data. I had hoped rsync would only write changes in files when using --inplace, but it seems not: # Make a 1 GB file $ perl -e 'print "x"x1000000000' > 1g # rsync it (as expected this costs 1 GB writes) $ ./rsync-3.1.0/rsync --progress --inplace -cva 1g 1g.copy

Hi, I think about buying a NAS-server from Sun. To backup this server I want to use our central to-tape backup. For whatever reason ppl are asking me to make one compressed copy to disk and only backup this copy. So to reduce load I'd like to have a script that: identifies changed files only (using md5?) copies them and compresses them storeBackup.pl does something similar, but keeps

Hello, For some time now, our users have been encountering a problem when using scp to overwrite files on our mass-storage system, which uses SGI's DMF product. I don't have any data as to whether or not any other HSMs would be similarly affected. The scenario is that a user is overwriting a file (via scp) that has previously been migrated to tape. The scp opens the file for writing, but

Hi, I have written a 'smallish' patch to implement the --inplace option as discussed on this mailing list at various points in the past. It makes a small modification to the sender algorithm so that it won't ask the receiver to relocate blocks from earlier in the file when running with the --inplace option. I would appreciate any testing and feedback people can provide! I

Hi Ram, In OS X, some font types (not all) put the font payload in the resource fork. Netatalk provides AFP filesharing, imitating the resource forks by creating secondary files in ?.Appledouble? folders within each folder. Netatalk tracks the resource forks, and other metadata, by keeping a ?Desktop database? at the root of the shared volume ? look for .AppleDesktop, and .AppleDB. You can

Wayne, I noticed that rsync will let me apply a non-inplace batch file in inplace mode. This corrupts the destination file if the batch file copies any data forward (from earlier offsets to later ones). Of course, the post-transfer checksum detects the corruption and gives the "ERROR: <file> failed verification" message, but rsync doesn't give the user a clue why the

Hi! As I commonly spell --inplace as --in-place, I'd like to suggest this simple patch: commit 5689f99b702788044a45e13582559832cf986328 Author: Jan-Benedict Glaw <jbglaw at lug-owl.de> Date: Wed Jun 26 22:49:31 2019 +0200 Allow "--in-place" as an alternative option name for "--inplace". diff --git a/options.c b/options.c index e5b0cb68..7ff0c51d 100644 ---

Hi, Having worked on a 4 channel encode/decode system, which works just fine (using 4 channel audio on SGI systems). I now would like to think a little further about how 'n' channel encodes may be used for network collaboration in music. Let's imagine a 16 channel codec, and let's say we are working in a simple stereo in/out environment (i.e. like most consumer devices out

I worked this out over the weekend. I appreciate that using temporary variables would be simpler but I think this makes for quite readable code: # in RProfile.site inplace <- function (f, arg=1) eval.parent(call("<-",substitute(f)[[arg+1]], f),2) # examples in code inplace(foo[bar,baz] *2) # or inplace(paste(foo[bar,baz], 1:10)) # or inplace(sub("blah",

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --inplace and --append-verify are essentially irrelevant when - --link-dest is in play.
