similar to: which rsync command?

I'm probably missing something, but it looks like your first requirement rules out using --delete, but your third requirement seems to imply the need for it because you want the source and target to be identical - and it won't be if there are any files on the target which are not on the source. If this is the case, then you may have to use more than pass - the first at the top-level

You should be fine as long as you don't add --delete. I would start with rsync -vai --dry-run SOURCE/ TARGET/ Add whatever the OSX specific option is (I think -E) Yes, --dry-run shows you what it would have done without --dry-run and yes, if you can't read all the files then you need to run it as root.

I hate to say it because it goes against my normal advice but this is one instance where using a * in the source parameter would help... rsync -vaiE --delete --dry-run source/* target/ This would ignore any top level directory that is on the target but not the source while rsyncing with --delete any top level directory that is on the source. It is normally recommended to not use a * in the

Thanks for the helpful advice. In view of the conflicting advice from Joe and Kevin I tried creating a couple of very small directories test1 and test2, to see what happens when the rsync command rsync -avi —dry-run test1/ test2/ is given. I was pleased to see that —dry-run does explicitly say when a file is being deleted. Joe’s email is correct and it seems that Kevin’s version would not satisfy

This is looking good and very helpful to an rsync novice. I will try the modification rsync --dry-run -avi --delete --filter 'protect /*’ --filter ‘protect /.*’ SOURCE/ TARGET/ and see what it produces. I do have a number of directories and files beginning with a dot in TARGET and these need to be protected. Unfortunately, the output from —dry-run is still likely to be sufficiently

rsync version 3.1.2 protocol version 31 I've run into an issue using rsync on my QNAP NAS. I've installed Entware-ng on the NAS so that I can install better versions of programs, rsync being one of them. But, I've run into an issue wqith using the --delete option, as it has problems using wildcards. Initially a backup script looked like: #!/bin/sh for d in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I restored a filesystem by using rsync to copy directories and files from a backup volume to the newly recreated volume. All of the re-created files were given the current date and time rather than the original file's timestamp. I am sure there was a way to prevent that from happening. Is there a way to use rsync to set the timestamps

Dear Mr. Beginning to work on Linux. I am trying to install R into Ubuntu Gustsy. I installed version 2.5.1 and worked fine. But then I tried to upgrade by adding these lines to sources.list: deb http://cran.fiocruz.br/bin/linux/debian etch-cran/ deb http://cran.fiocruz.br/bin/linux/ubuntu gutsy/ I introduced the authorization keys (as recommended) and the files were downloaded. But then I

Please, is possible (with rsync) re-create files timestamps? I mean something like choosing a "-T" in the program mirror- from it's man page e.g. there: http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/textbooks/mirror/mirror.html#Flags "Do not do any file transfers just force the time-stamps of any local files to be reset to be the same as the remote files. Normally only used when initialising a

But I

I am working with Sweave and would like to print out into my latex document the result of the R command version$platform So what I first tried in my .Rnw document was \Sexpr{print(version$platform)}. However, the output from this command is the string "x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0" (without the quotes). This contains an underscore, which is a special character in tex and so I get an error

Suppose x and y are numeric vectors of the same length. plot(x,y) #scatterplot lmObj1 <- lm(y~x) # best fit line abline(lmObj1) # good lmObj2 <- lm(x~y) #get best fit but with axes interchanged abline(lmObj2) # not what I want. I want the correct line, drawn on the same graph, but with # response and predictor variables interchanged One way to proceed would be to

Hello everyone, This is not directly related to CentOS but still: we are trying to set up some storage servers to run under Linux - most likely CentOS. The storage volume would be in the range specified: 8-15 TB. Any recommendations as far as hardware? Thanks. Boris. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

Hello listmates, As some of you may know we have been having a really bad problem with Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 cards. See here for details: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?24,140124,140224 So now my question is, what PCI 1 Gbit/s Ethernet adapters should I use under CentOS? If you have had a consistent positive experience with any particular chipset/brand please speak up.

Hello all, The question is not necessarily CentOS-specific - but there are lots of bright people on here, and - quite possibly - the final implementation will be on CentOS hence I figured I'd ask it here. Here is the situation. I need to configure a Linux-based network load balancer (NLB) solution. The idea is this. Let us say I have a public facing load balancer machine with an public IP

Hello, I run R 1.9.1 on a Windows XP machine. In the last week, I have started to get the following error message (about 85% of the time) when I attempt to start R: "Fatal error: cannot find unused tempdir name" I get this message whether I attempt to start R in interactive or batch mode. Looking at the help-manual description of tempdir didn't provide me with any obvious clues
