In some filesystems, typically optimized for large I/O throughputs (like IBM GPFS, IBM SAN FS, or distributed filesystems in general) a lot of lseek() operations can strongly impact on performances. In this cases it can be helpful to enlarge the block size used to handle sparse files directly from a command line parameter. For example, using a sparse write size of 32KB, I've been able to

This adds support for whitelisting the acceptable options in the "refuse options" setting in rsyncd.conf. It introduces "!" as a special option string that refuses most options and interprets any following strings as patterns of options to allow. For example, to allow only verbose and archive: refuse options = ! verbose archive The "!" does't refuse no-iconv,

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian at breakpoint.cc> zstd compression was announced as "good compression with high throughput" so I gave it a try. With zlib, on high speed links the CPU is usually the bottle neck. With zstd I'm able to fill a 200Mbit link :) zstd detection happens automatically via pkg-config. No zstd header means no error about missing zstd. So that

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

Hi all, I recently ran into some problems with rsync. My plan is to renew some of our old administration concepts from early 90's, I already replaced rdist with rsync a few years ago. Because of the rdist legacy, the current method requires synchronizing files into 6 different locations, {/alt,/usr/alt}/{hostdep,sysdep,hutdep}, which in turn are prioritized by a tool that just symlinks

This patch adds a switch --fat-filenames which replaces all characters that aren't legal on FAT filesystems with an underscore. This is the first time I touch the rsync code, so I may not be going about it the right way, but it seems to be working. Naturally there's some potential for collisions, but it's probably better than what happens currently (such files are simply not copied).

Any feedback on this patch and the possibility of getting it into CVS or the patches directory?

We needed the group id bit to always be set on directories when rsync creates them. We always run rsync from a script with just the -ltR options. The destination file system uses acl's to control file access so new files need to inherit the properties of the directories they're in. (This is for IBM's global storage architecture on Aix or Linux). I made the following changes to make

Hello, It would be goog if attached patch will be included in upstream. This patch adds option --apt-support for rsync and with this option rsync will print some additiona information about file being transfered. No program logic changed. Having this option in rsync we can have apt with rsync method support. Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 11:34:14 -0200 From: Gustavo Niemeyer

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the

Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

Hello, I am developing an application which uses the Rsync. I have added an option for HTTPS in rsync code like '-v' for "--verbose". But now I want to make that option to take the arguments. For that in options.c file, I have added the entry in the array of structure as, > static struct poptOption long_options[] = { > /* longName, shortName, argInfo, argPtr, value,

I've added the options --min-age=SECONDS and --max-age=SECONDS to allow rsync to skip files based on how recently they were modified. Setting --min-age=30 (for example) would cause rsync to skip files that had been modified within the last 30 seconds. Setting --max-age=7776000 would cause rsync to skip files that had been modified more than 90 days ago (7776000 == 60*60*24*90). I realize

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2 at gentoo.org> Add new option --ignore-non-existing-directory, that is a variant of --ignore-non-existing, but applies ONLY to directories.
