similar to: Memory consumption for rsync -axv --delete

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you were using --link-dest to make multiple backups you wouldn't need --delete because the target is always a new empty directory (with - --link-dest pointing to the previous backup run). So, you get the benefit of having multiple backups to restore from and rsync doesn't have to --delete. When you run low on space you just rm - -rf some

Hi, I have been using rsync for many years and never had any kind of problem. Lately I am running out of RAM trying to do an incremental backup to a box that only has 2G of RAM. The entire directory structure I'm mirroring is about 200G of files. A minority of subdirectories have many files. Is there a way to do an incremental backup with --delete option that does not use as much memory? Is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You will have an old backup dir and a new backup dir. The new one will contain all the current stuff. The old one will contain what was current the last time you ran rsync. Just rm -rf the old one. Or keep a few. Or a few dozen. On 03/27/2016 02:54 AM, John Long wrote: > Thanks I'll look this up.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You miss-understand the purpose of --link-dest. Yes, it gives you multiple complete backups, but each only consumes the disk space needed to store files that are unique to that backup. Files that are the same in 2 backup runs are actually the same file in multiple directories requiring only 1 to actually be stored. On 03/27/2016 02:39 AM, John Long

The source is around 200G and the target box only has 500G total and some of it is used for other data. What I want to do

Thanks I'll look this up. There is still the issue of how to get the target box cleaned up since I can no longer run --delete. /jl On Sun, Mar 27, 2016 at 02:49:02AM -0400, Kevin Korb wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > You miss-understand the purpose of --link-dest.

You could try using an automounter, like autofs, in combination with sshfs. It'll be slower, possibly a lot slower, but it should be more reliable over an unreliable connection. I've been using: remote -fstype=fuse,allow_other,nodev,noatime,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=40,uid=0,gid=0,ro,nodev,noatime :sshfs\#root at remote.host.com\:/ BTW, I'm not sure

Hello! I have samba share on my sshfs-mounted folder. All works just fine except I can't delete files from sshfs unless they are in 0777 chmodded directory. Even if that files were putted trough smbclient. I can read files, write files (regardless their directory permissions) but not delete them. Here is my share config: [myshare] comment = shre over sshfs path = /home/kli/work/remotes/dev

New to sshfs and new to this mailing list so please guide me if required. Is this a bug? When sshfs is given option -o rellinks, it responds with fuse: unknown option `rellinks' According to my understanding of the sshfs man page and --help output this option a) is valid and b) should be passed to the module, not to fuse. Versions: SSHFS version 2.4 FUSE library version: 2.8.5

Hi, after trying sshfs to mount a remote file system on a server with the result that sshfs will sooner or later get stuck and require a reboot of the client, I'm fed up with it and am looking for alternatives. So next I would like to use NFS over a VPN connection instead. To minimize the instances of the NFS mount getting stuck, it might be helpful to use autofs. What happens when the

I sent a zvol from host a, to host b, twice. Host b has two pools, one ashift=9, one ashift=12. I sent the zvol to each of the pools on b. The original source pool is ashift=9, and an old revision (2009_06 because it''s still running xen). I sent it twice, because something strange happened on the first send, to the ashift=12 pool. "zfs list -o space" showed figures at

Hi there I am wanting to call sshfs (auth via DSA keys) via a rsync pre-xfer bash script, and cannot get something right. If I run it from the cmdline line: env - sshfs usern@server:/share /dir/path -o -o IdentityFile=/tmp/id_dsa it mounts it just fine. (note the "env -" - I specifically tested with no environment to try to make the two situations identical). If I put that sole line

Hi A search of google failed to show any prebuilt rpms for sshfs and fuse. I do see that fuse support is in 2.6.14 kernel which isn't a whole lot of help. Before I dive headlong into this has anyone successfully built fuse/sshfs against Centos 4.4. If so would you share your experience? Thanks Daveh

Hello, Renaming a file via sftp on an sshfs mount resulted in a failure with errorcode 38 (ENOSYS). This is reproducable with openssh release 4.9p1 & 5.1p1 in combination sshfs 2.2 (latest releases). Investigation revealed that sshfs only implements the rename()-call and not the link()-call (used by sftp-server). Attached is a patch to perform the rename()-call upon a failed link(). The

Hi all, I am trying to mount on boot a sshfs filesystem. I have tried this in /etc/fstab backup at myserver.com:/home/backup/myserver /backup fuse.sshfs nonempty,allow_other 0 2 but only works when network works. I have also tried this in my crontab: @reboot sshfs -o idmap=backup myserver.com:/home/backup/myserver /backup but doesn?t seem to work either. What else can I try?

Alle, Does anyone know if there are any reputable repositories out there that contain packages for fuse/sshfs? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC. E-mail: cwfox at us.fujitsu.com

Hello, Perhaps you could give some information here or redirect me, because it was not clear while reading manuals: how can connection timeout be set for sshd? Problem is, when some system is hibernated and it resumes, connections are dead. Mostly I made a successful workaround, but would be nice to know... Also, which version of ssh(d) support df on sshfs? I hope, is not a problem to enlighten
