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.......

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,

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, 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

Hi, I see some warnings like the following. Could anybody explains what they mean?

Before anyone yells at me, yes, you can use rsync's --checksum to detect (and fix) files that are incorrect despite having correct timestamps and sizes. This would mean that a previous rsync had been corrupted not the current one. But it is important to note that this would only be reported to you if you also use --itemize-changes and what to look for (a file with a c but not an s or a t).

Thanks. I'll try that. But I agree that it'll be something else. It's unlikely that whole trace files are being overwritten, because there's locking in place to prevent that sort of thing, but it's more likely than anything else. I'll check that the locking is working properly. Although, when I last investigated it, it really did look as though, in a single run of this

I'm still not getting to where I need to be. Maybe you can explain what has gone wrong in this very simple example: % mkdir one two % echo hello > one/hello % ln

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Normally, I would say that --checksum is actually slower than just letting rsync re-copy everything and therefore is almost always the wrong thing to do. However, in this case, you really don't want to overwrite the running OS even with files that are essentially the same. So, if the system is running from that storage then --checksum might

What do you mean by saying the above things? Do you mean only the `--itemize-changes' is enough for my case? Or Do you want to see the output from my case of running on the

For backuping system folders on ArchLinux I use the following command per folder: rsync --update -DHAErlptgo --relative --delete-during $dir $backupdir The problem is that every file in /root folder and its subfolders is copied each time when this command is run. In all other folders only new or modified files are copied. The files and the folder itself have the following attributes: [root at

Kevin Korb <kmk at sanitarium.net>, I thank you greatly for your attempts to educate me, however as we get deeper into discussing more and more different rsync options, I feel that I am actually just getting more confused and frustrated. I've been sitting here, trying all sorts of different combinations and permutations of the various options we've discussed, and that you've
