I would rather the maintainers would spend their time improving the application, and not worrying aobut the OP's hurt little open-sourced religious feelings.

Nah, this is the first time I've posted here in years. Gennaly things just tick over with the application moving along in a nice straightforward manner, improvment upon improvement. Rsync is one of the mose important and usefu apps available for Linux and OS X (powered by APPLE!!!!); followed by ffmpeg and vlc (and Apache, I guess, but I don't do much of that anymore). The docs are very

I would agree. Plus he said this was something he did to help his wife. It is entirely possible that he runs a Samba server to assists a non-technical wife just like a corporate IT department would do.

Let me start with a reference to Nazis, just so we can reach the Godwin-point and be done with it. If somebody thinks they can improve the documentation let them submit a patch. This provides something concrete for people to comment on and the maintainers can make a decision as to whether they want to make the proposed change. Until I see something in writing I've no opinion one way or

I appreciate the parable of helping non-technical users (or, more precisely, users not keen on IT). As I understand, placement of software like Word or Photoshop servers this purpose. But both of them have decent open-source counterparts, and they are better fit for an rsync manual. Or, if from any reason proprietary software is preferred in this context (perhaps because it generates even more

Hi, Attached and on the "ipconfig_down" branch at github (https://github.com/kpinc/klibc.git) you will find 4 patches which let ipconfig bring down interfaces. Please consider them for inclusion. Why do this? It's useful when the rootfs is crypted and is unlocked by supplying passwords over the network. In this case the initramfs brings up a network interface. It can be useful

Hi, I use rsync with hardlinks for backup, once a week doing checksums to ensure there's no filesystem corruption in the backed-up data. I also use tmpwatch, or something similar, to clean up /tmp, it removes files that have not been accessed recently. (atime older than some configured limit). I backup /tmp because I throw stuff in tmp that I might possibly need again but don't want to

Hi, I'm having a problem using --link-dest and --hard-links when the fs hits the hard link limit (link(2) returns EMLINK). Using rsync 3.0.7 an error is thrown and the target file is not created. Glancing at git head it _looks_ like things could now be a little nicer. Perhaps the target file is copied instead of hard linked when hardlinking fails -- I've not tested it. Anyway, the

Hello rsync folks I'm trying to use rsync for backing up our servers. This mostly works extremely well, with no problems. However, 1 server is giving me a lot of trouble. It has a directory with (currently) 734088 files in it, and every time I try to backup this dir, rsync hangs after transferring roughly 2000 files. Sometimes it's around 1800, sometimes it's over 2100 (I think), but

I hate to say anything remotely negative to Wayne but... That wording from the man page makes almost no sense without the examples directly after it (and I have read it many times and know what it is saying). When I go all RTFM on this topic I usually tell them to 'man rsync', search for file-will-not-be-found and start reading from that line. Once you understand the broken and correct

As Ben mentioned, ZFS snapshots is one possible approach. Another approach is to have a faster storage system. I have seen considerable speed improvements with rsync on similar data sets by say upgrading the storage sub system. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution http://www.lbackup.org

How do I get asterisk to do something when I pick up a phone? For instance, I've got a regular pots phone hooked up to a zaptel interface, and I want it to vocalize "hello" when I pick up the phone and then give me a dial tone, wait for digits, make a call, etc. I tried the 's' extension in extensions.conf and setting 'immediate' to "yes' in zapata.conf and

Hi, I'm using rsync with --link-dest to do backups. I don't have any sparse files, but someday I might. Should I be using --sparse? I notice that -S is not implied by -a. This makes me suspicious that --sparse is not (yet?) suitable for general purpose use. There also seem to be outstanding bugs related to --sparse. Thanks. Karl <kop at meme.com> Free Software: "You

Hi, I thought I should document this. (Dovecot 2.2.9, see config at bottom.)
