similar to: rsyserr is occasionally dropping receiver messages

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

I am involved with the development of lbackup. This message to the rsync mailing list is related to the following thread on the lbackup-disccussion mailing list : http://tinyurl.com/lbackup-discussion-diskfull Essentially, I am curious to if any one using rsync 3.0.7 on Mac OS (10.6) Server has experienced an out of disk space error and not had a message similar to the following reported : >

I noticed that this topic appeared from time to time on the mailing list and that one patch exists (copy-devices.diff) from a previous thread which allowed rsync to operate with a source device file. The patch below, when combined with the 'copy-devices' patch, allows rsync to be operate between two device files. In our environment this is being used, along with LVM snapshots, to

Some of my users have reported problems with rsync puking on locked folders. The errors typically look like this: rsync -aNHAXx --fileflags --force-change --no-inc-recursive / /Volumes/ Backup > rsync: mkstemp "/Volumes/SCSI Backup/Users/Ken/Library/Caches/ > Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/..DS_Store.N9xtNy" failed: Operation not > permitted (1) (51) > rsync: mkstemp

I got numerous warnings when building rsync on IA64 (Itanium-2) using Intel C/C++ compiler (see attached). Is this expected?

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.

Hi: Suppose I have the following files on my target volume: /Applications/[45,000 sub files and directories] /Developer/[120,000 sub files and directories] ... (another 8 or so directories with lots of files and sub directories) /usr/ [75,000 sub files and directories] For a total of approximately 500K files and directories. On my source, I have only a handful of items: /Data/ [70 items]

Hi, All, I am implementing real-time Rsync on Windows 2008 system. I set up Rsync server and Rsync client on two machines. An windows service is watching all the Windows file events with FileSystemWatcher. However, the service cannot tell the exactly what happened to folders such as create, delete, or modified. So, I ignored folder event, and only catch file changing events. After I catch

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 3) * Don't link empty files. * Roll over to new file when filesystem maximum link count is reached. * If link fails for another reason, leave

Hi, I have written a 'smallish' patch to implement the --inplace option as discussed on this mailing list at various points in the past. It makes a small modification to the sender algorithm so that it won't ask the receiver to relocate blocks from earlier in the file when running with the --inplace option. I would appreciate any testing and feedback people can provide! I

Dear Martin Pool. We regularly use rsync for making backups of our file systems but we have noticed that the atimes are not transferred with the files and are also always updated on the sender's side. Therefore, we have created a modified version of rsync based on rsync-2.6.6 protocol version 29 which transfers the access times with the transferred files and also allows to preserve the access

The generator can skip a directory's contents altogether due to --ignore-non-existing, a daemon exclude, or a mkdir failure. On a --dry-run, the generator can also note the missingness of a directory while still scanning its contents. These two scenarios were conflated using a single set of missing_below/missing_dir variables in combination with transient increments in dry_run; this caused

Dear List, the attached patch makes rsync of local folders almost as fast as cp. when rsync client and server has detected that they are working in local_server mode, they use local_socket, a unix domain socket pair, to pass the file descriptors of the synced files. the server uses the file descriptor it receives from the client to fast copy from src to dst file. on completion of every file fast

Hi, As the man page says, the --partial flag is to "keep partially transferred files". I'm assuming if I don't have partial flag any partially transferred files should be deleted. However this is not what I'm seeing. Example: (Using a big file so that rsync times a while to run. This gives me time to hit CTRL-C for the SIGINT). > mkdir example > dd if=/dev/zero
