Thank you! I run --times when I use rsync (I actually use the -a flag) but the times do not transfer over and if I run rsync dryrun with -i I can see that it wants to transfer the files because of times. When I run rsync a second time with your suggestion the times do transfer over. I don't know why... B ________________________________________ From: rsync [rsync-bounces at lists.samba.org]

Cool Thanks! Specifically, the timestamps on both <src> and <dest> match for "ls -l" but do not match for "ls -lu" or "ls -lc” The storage is just an regular HDD in a mac pro tower. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t handle timestamps. Also of note - this problem doesn’t exist for every file, just the vast majority. So, that just makes it more confusing. Yes,

OK. Thanks. Where can I find information regarding how to interpret —itemize-changes? The timestamps aren’t changing, so the target must not be storing them, which I have no idea why. The directory I’m writing to is 777. What is the flag to tell rsync to ignore the timestamps? Thanks, Blake On 6/2/16, 6:18 PM, "rsync on behalf of Kevin Korb" <rsync-bounces at lists.samba.org on

Thanks Kevin! I¹m unclear how to read the ‹itemize-changes output. Can you provide some insight? This is a local transfer from an external drive to an internal drive all attached to one computer. rsync -aPh --itemize-changes -n /Volumes/shuttle_05/2012_79_1_14_1__1199_Workprint /Volumes/3TB_LTO/LT003A/ sending incremental file list >f..t.......

Hi Kevin, I haven't specified --whole-file. After entering an rsync command the terminal always reads "delta-transmission disabled for local transfer or --whole-file" but I assume that is just a standard phrase that always appears. So, if I am running partial (-P) and not using --whole-file or disabling the delta-transmission, why would an incomplete file be deleted and the

Hi Kevin, I'm not a systems manager so my apologies if I'm a little lost here. I'm an audiovisual conservator/archivist and I use rsync for transferring files, a lot. Yes, I connect to the server and then it shows up as a disk on my desktop and I run rsync between the external drive mounted on my computer and the now mounted server. So, this would be a local copy? And, therefore,

Hi, At my work we use rsync to move files between drives and to LTO among other things. I'm having an issue using rsync to move material between and external drive and an internal drive. We run "rsync -avvPh <src> <dest>" and most of the files keep writing every time I run this. It appears that the modification times are not being carried through to the destination

Hello, I’m running rsync -avPhi to move large video files to a remote server. Often we have to stop a transfer midway through to push something else to the server. My hope was that the -P flag would invoke --partial and the transfer would pick-up where it left off. This does not seem to be happening. Rather, the transfer starts over from the beginning, erasing the partially transferred file.

Hi Steven, Yes, both file systems are the same. rsync -nri --modify-window=1 <src> <dest> Gives me the following for most files >f..T....... 2015_167_1_1__Boy_What_A_Girl_R2/2015_167_1_1__Boy_What_A_Girl__UHD_DPX_R2/ BWAG_R2_00138428.dpx Although a few have >f..T......n 2015_167_1_1__Boy_What_A_Girl_R2/2015_167_1_1__Boy_What_A_Girl__UHD_DPX_R2/ BWAG_R2_00135909.dpx

Hello, We have our mac connected to a SAN via 10Gbe fiber network. Being thunderbolt model macs with no PCI slots we are using external boxes (Sonnet, ATTO) to interface between the thunderbolt and fiber connections. When using rsync -avvPhi we get speeds of approx 110MB/s but with a simple drag-and-drop we get speeds of approx 620MB/s. BIG difference. We get the same speeds (roughly)

When a file of same length already exists at the destination then the command 'rsync --archive --size-only' (--archive is same as -rlptgoD) may change the modification time of the destination file even if no modification was made. Type the following commands in a terminal in order to reproduce the problem: $ mkdir source $ mkdir target $ echo "file one" > source/file $

Hi Kevin, Thank you very much. I changed my user in the remote machine (su). Then, by trying again with rsync but with no modification in the source folder, I see that file ownership continues the same. Would be possible for rsync to change the ownership in this case (I am not root) ? Thanks, Regards,CJ Em Quinta-feira, 10 de Setembro de 2015 20:01, Kevin Korb <kmk at

Thanks for the reply. The link-dest is different. It is Feb 1 while the source is Feb 2. I tried setting path = /media/external/ for the daemon and using rsync -a -v -i --delete --link-dest=backup-2016-02-01-0100 --password-file=/media/external/scripts/offsite_rsync.pass /media/external/backup/backup-2016-02-02-0100 backup at 192.168.2.102: :offsite/backup So all three (link-dest, source,

Ok, thank you for this extra info. I have experienced exactly what you described. The rsync dry run is _still_ running after being started at 1:30am PST :) But it is finding the right files to update. Most of the entries are: >fc........ Which is what I want. So, just because I see: >f at the beginning... That doesn't necessarily mean that the file is going to get updated at the

What about -c? It seems I'm getting a lot of spurious file transfer candidates when using: -avvznIi --no-o --no-g --no-p It's showing transfers (receive) for many files I know haven't been tampered with.

is there a script which analyses rsync output with --itemize-changes ? i.e. i would like to have extended information on number of deleted files, created directories, changed files.... i know rsync 3.1.x is better with this, but it`s still not in centos 5/6/7 and i don`t want to update tons of systems to get extended statistics, so i wonder if anbody did an analyze script to get that information

Hi, hardlinking (-H) works perfectly while using a syntax like -avhxSDH <SRC> <DEST> Now I have to mirror multiple SRC directories which contain hardlinks. e. g: src1/a is a hardlink to src2/b -RavhxSDH SRC1 SRC2 DEST does not preserve hardlink a and b in DEST. Is there any chance to do that? Thanks lopiuh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
