similar to: How to detect hanging rsync from bash-script ?

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. I use rsync to transfer pretty massive (wait for it) ADOBE PHOTOSHOP files around my LAN. Neener neener fucken neener. On Wed, Jul 27, 2016 at 11:37 AM, Karl O.

Hi, I've found this in the man page for rsync: "To backup my wife’s home directory, which consists of large MS Word files and mail folders, I use a cron job that runs ...". I believe it's very inappropriate and inconsiderate to mention Microsoft products unless it's really necessary. I'm mostly concerned with the fact that this careless usage not only gives them 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the canonical link to Reference of "ServerAliveInterval"? Background: I want to write an answer at serverfault (Q-A Site). I want to avoid copy+pasting. I would like to lead the new comer to the canonical reference. Regards, Thomas G?ttler -- Thomas Guettler http://www.thomas-guettler.de/

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, In the last several years, I noticed an annoying problem with ssh: Long-running ssh connections are automatically disconnected after just a few minutes of inactivity. This problem effects both interactive sessions (using ssh without screen(1) became almost impossible...) as well as ssh port forwarding and the likes. I never noticed this problem until about 6 years ago, but since then have

This patch: * adds a C-based security policy translation tool to Xen (secpol_xml2bin) and removes the current Java security policy translator (Java dependencies). The C-based tool integrates into the Xen source tree build and install (using gnome libxml2 for XML parsing). See install.txt. * introduces security labels and related tools. Users can now use semantic-rich label names to put

On a 802.1X environment, it's possible to permit a windows desktop gain access to the network by using only machine authentication at the Active Directory (no need for login + password). Is it possible to do the same with a Linux desktop with samba? I mean a Linux desktop pass machine credentials to Active Directory as windows do (SID), without any login and password. -- Otto Fuchshuber

Hi, I thought I should document this. (Dovecot 2.2.9, see config at bottom.) I installed dovecot and then converted a number of mbox mailboxes to Maildir, and had a number of pre-existing Maildir mailboxes. I then installed the debian (wheezy) fts-solar and jetty packages, and tested my inbox using the "telnet localhost imap ... 3 SEARCH text "test" method as described on the
