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, I'm using rsync to backup my files. I have also added a pre-backup step where the script checks if there is enough space on the destination for rsync to run successfully. The goal is to make room (delete oldest backups) if that's not the case. I'm running rsync with -ahAXS --numeric-ids --link-dest options. For my pre-backup step, I'm currently using the same options +

In /usr/share/doc/rsync/README.gz: BUG REPORTS ----------- If you have web access then please look at... Well what if you don't have web access? You don't mention what to do then. "Send bugs to rsync@lists.samba.org" probably. OK. Will do. Here's one now: $ rsync -avz debian.linux.org.tw:var/lib/apt/diet.lists var/lib/apt/diet.lists receiving file list ...

How do I make rsync ignore and not report or update certain parts of the [l]stat(2) struct or checksum when selecting which items to report or update in a hierarchy? For example, I want to run: rsync -Haxi --delete /hier1/ /hier2/ and have it NOT do anything if say ONLY the modtime differs. Leaving out or in the --times [-t] option from the expansion of -a to -rlptgoD obviously does not do this.

Hi all, I am using rsync v.3.0.7 (protocol v30) on ubuntu 10.04.

Dear Kurt and R-ers, Short: please add info to the faq about how to make sure you have R and how to start up the interpreter (jump to the end) Long: I was gonna use the tool called UCS which requires R. So I wanted to make sure if our university system has it. I act before I ask so I thought I check if we have R installed. Now wait. But how? I knew R was an interpreted language so it must have

Whenever you use --times (included in --archive) rsync will fix incorrect time stamps. The only thing --size-only is doing is keeping the incorrect data instead of replacing it. The purpose of these options is to "fix" a copy done in a way that did not preserve timestamps but the data is known to have not changed. These options allow rsync to correct the incorrect timestamps without

How exactly does rsync determine that the copy has the incorrect timestamp and not the source file? Does it assume that the copy must be incorrect or are there other criteria that have to be considered?

Hi Rsync-ers I'm simply using rsync to do an exact copy of my root (and home) partition by using the -aHv options. When the copy is complete, I modify fstab so my root and home mount points are pointing to the newly copied partitions. When I boot (into the new partitions), init and all the services start okay; however, when I get to "mgetty" and it passes control to

Hi All, We are using rsync version 2.6.3 protocol version 28. Is there a way we could transfer files and force rsync not to look for the same user:group as host on the destination?

suggestion for minor improvement of the smb.conf manpage in the context of the 'idmap backend' parameter. At least as of v3.0.22 the manpage says: Finally, using the idmap_ad module, the UID and GID can directly be retrieved from an Active Directory LDAP Server that supports an RFC2307 compliant LDAP schema. idmap_ad supports "Services for Unix"

I have two DOS filesystems mounted on Linux as "vfat" which I want to rsync. (They are on flash cards, so that they are also small). rsync gets tricked because the filesystem treats names differing in only case as the same. Thus, when it tries to sync "FOO123" with "foO123", it copies over the "new" file, and then renames it over the old one (which it

Hi I am making an extraordinary claim: rysnc seems to copy all my files, not just ones that have changed or new files. rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 Debian 3.0 Woody I have tested this with one simple file, my example is shown below. Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this? Regards Gareth example: I create a file called 'testfile' in /tmp/play containing the

Hi, attached follows a patch to add a feature that I think it would be useful having in the print.xtable function of the xtable package. It adds the option 'tabular.environment' to that function, which could be used to set an alternative tabular environment, as the name already suggests. This is particulary useful when dealing with long tables, which do not fit in a single page. In the
