similar to: Is there any performance problem with hard links in ZFS?

Hello, I have a situation where I have numerous files with numerous hard links to each of them on an ext3 RHEL4.2 system. Some of these files are duplicates of the others. I would like to re-link all of the duplicates to point to a single inode. For instance if file1 has hardlinks link1 and link2, and file2 has hardlinks link3 and link4, I need to change it so that link1, link2 (these

Hi, I want to use rsync in a may be unusual way: I have a source tree containing lots of symbolic links and I use the option "--copy-links" to get the physical files (the referents of the symlinks) on the target host. As the host uses the synchronized files in a read-only fashion, I also want to get hardlinks for all identical files, to save space. Thus I also use

I''ve been thinking about this for a while, from a perspective of how to make it work by allocating i-node numbers from a global pool, but yesterday I realized that offering the feature would be a bad idea because it violates the semantics of file systems. I will be happy to expand on that point if anyone disagrees with it. dln -- "It is merely a matter of persistence." --

I'm using 2.6.3pre1 to transfer a rather large Debian archive (126GB, more than 30 million files). It contains about 450 daily snapshots, where unchanged files are hardlinked between the snapshots (so many files have hunderds of links). It's been running for some time now, and I found that while it's far from done, it's already used 165GB on the receiving end. Investigation shows

There is the problem which I discribed here https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=12820. rsync does not break hard-link into destination if hard-link has be broken in source with option inplace.

I can't seem to get the hardlinks to work in windows via --link-dest. It just refuses to find the files in the directory and make a hard link. Here's the setup. -I run 2 rsyncs from batch files called sync.bat and sync2.bat. -I'm connected to the server via a mapped network drive, we'll call it 'z'. -I then run the client, on the destination, once to pull the data

v3: - fixed attribute walk callback: checking against TSK_FS_BLOCK_FLAG_RAW flag would exclude compressed data blocks which are still important. Yet we want to exclude sparse blocks (TSK_FS_BLOCK_FLAG_SPARSE) as they are not stored on the disk.

Hello, was use several cad applications and with one of those we have problems using zfs. OS and hardware is SunOS 5.10 Generic_118855-36, Fire X4200, the cad application is catia v4. There are several configuration and data files stored on the server and shared via nfs to solaris and aix clients. The application is crashing on the aix client except the server is sharing those files from a ufs

Hello, I have an el-cheapo shared hosting account on Dreamhost, and have had it for a very long time. For the most part everything usually works fairly well, considering I do keep a lot of folders, and mail, on some of my accounts. They are running dovecot, but still don't have a response as to the version, or doveconf -n output yet. My problem is, one of my most used folders, which was

Hello, I'm trying to enable hardlinks for messages sent to mutiple users. (I need this because I have mailing lists with 5000 users used many times a day). I've read that, to do this, I have to write a script that uses the /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver command in this way: deliver -p <FILE> -d <USER1> -d <USER2> Of course, I enabled the "socket listen"

Among other things, I run an http server on my home DSL line (6M/768kbit). The content includes several large image galleries, and when certain crawlers hit our server w/ multiple large image uploads, we end up with large ping time delays - sufficient to disrupt the kids'' on-line gaming.

I realise that the hard link limit is in the queue to fix, and I read the recent thread as well as the older (october I think) thread. I just wanted to note that BackupPC *does* in fact run into the hard link limit, and its due to the dpkg configuration scripts. BackupPC hard links files with the same content together by scanning new files and linking them together, whether or not they started

The rsync 2.5.6 TODO file mentions the need for hard link test cases. Here is one in which a linked file is unnecessarily transferred in full. # Setup initial directories mkdir src dest dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=10000 of=src/a 2>/dev/null rsync -a src/. dest/. ln src/a src/b # At this point, a & b exist in src; only a exists in dest. rsync -aHv src/. dest/.

Dear rsync users, I want to backup my Documents directory and instead of copying everything to my external disk I tried to use this command line to create an incremental backup with rsync on my external disk: $cd /media/My\ Passport $rsync -a --delete --link-dest=../BackUp08.2009_Ubuntu/ /home/thomas2/Documents/ BackUp01.2010_Ubuntu/ but I get the following output: rsync: chgrp

Hi, There''s been discussion before on this list on the very small number of hard links supported by btrfs.[1][2] In those threads, an often asked question has been if there''s a real world use case the limit breaks. Also it has been pointed out that a fix for this would need a disk format change. As discussed in bug #15762 [3], there are certainly real-world use cases this
