similar to: Rsync 3.0.0pre7 released

I'm trying to use rsync to get a live backup of 2 million files, about 50 gb, max depth of 5 directory levels. I'm on a gigabit lan so I'm passing -W, but it's still incredibly slow. What else can I do to speed things up? Perhaps there's a good way to filter out files older than X so only newer files are checked?. Will rsync 3.0.0 make a big difference for large trees?

Hi All I run rsync in an automated environment and it sometime will crash and leave a core dump file. from core dump, gdb shows that gdb) bt #0 add_dirs_to_tree (parent_ndx=-1, from_flist=0x56c590, dir_cnt=1) at flist.c:1422 #1 0x0000000000409eab in send_file_list (f=16, argc=-1, argv=0x56c238) at flist.c:2068 #2 0x0000000000419052 in client_run (f_in=16, f_out=16, pid=-1, argc=1,

I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre1, the first pre-release version for the upcoming 3.0.0 release. The version number is getting such a large bump due to the addition of an incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot with large transfers) and the official arrival of several other new features, including ACL support, extended attribute support, file- name character-set conversion, etc.

Hi I have a file system that contains millions of small files. Since I backup it everyday with rsync using slow WAN link, I think it will be nice that if rsync can do this: An option that let rsync only check with remote rsync daemon about local files that has last modification time newer than one day ago (so is modified since yesterday backup). This can greatly reduce the WAN traffic. Is this

I have great luck running rsync from one linux system to another, or from a windows system (with cwRsync) to a linux system. But when I try to do an rsync backup from one directory on a Windows system to another, it fails. The cwRsync says its version is 2.6.9. Here's my Rsync command, boiled down to its simplest: rsync -rlptgD -vvv --delete --delete-excluded --modify-window=2

Hi all! We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to date between some operator machines. Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the read-only flag gets set. The cwrsync user was created (the install is completely standard)... so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that. Here's my rsyncd.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false

Last cwrsync was 4.1.0, current is 4.2.0. It was avail on sourceforge. Itefix.no decided "we want money for coding and support" - that itself is not wrong. Though _I_ never needed any rsync help on neither linux and windows (including mixed) scenarios. But they killed their sourceforge downloads, all, including past versions of cwrsync, including source. The 4.2.0 client is still

Hi All Some time rsync just return error code 23 that some files are not transferred. Is there a way to get a list of these files so we can retry it later time? For example, we scan the whole file system and N files are not transferred. Instead of scan the whole file system later again, we can use files-from which is much faster. Thanks. -- Ming Zhang @#$%^ purging memory... (*!%

Hi What should be the right exit code for vanished file in this scenario. (1) Use inotify or other mechanism to check changed files and then generate a file list. (2) < file get deleted> (3) run rsync with --files-from with the old list. then send_file_list()->link_stat() will return errno 2 on some files and then set exit code to 23. but shall rsync return 24? -- Ming Zhang

Hi all When rsync replicate one file to remote side, will the extended attributes be copied as well? Thanks, Ming

Hi all! I'd like to use rsync to keep aligned physical volumes between linux servers. I know that there are other tools but I really need to use rsync. I would like to do something as rsync /dev/VG/SourceLogicalVolume root@dest_server:/dev/VG/DestinationLogicalVolume Do you think could it be possible? Thanks Marco

Hi, It seems that rsync transfers files whose names was changed or which were moved to another directory since the previous synchronization. I think that ability not to transfer (large) files which are present on another computer would be very helpful. Right before rsync is going to transfer some large file it could check if there some other files with the same size ( and maybe the same mtime

Hello guys! I'm doing a middle scale backup job using ccollect [0], which uses rsyn, with about 50 servers, each about 1-10 GiB changes per day and have some problems, that servers do not finish their backup completly: [host1.backup] Read from remote host host1.backup: Connection reset by peer [host1.backup] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (41306592 bytes received so far) [receiver]

Hi All. On Mac OS10.4, using rsync 3.0, it stops during a transfer. I mount an SMB share, and then use the line: sudo rsync -avhi --delete --stats --timeout=360 --progress --log-file=/Volumes/backup/20080429/rsynclog.txt --exclude="*:*" /Volumes/RAID_One /Volumes/backup/20080429 There's a few terabytes of data, and it never finishes a complete run. It can stop at anywhere during

Hi All I would like to use rsync to synchronize two file system tree over WAN periodically. The file system trees contain millions of small image files. Base on our understanding, rsync try to generate file name list before doing any operation, we easily run short of memory and have impact on our normal file system activities. I wonder if rsync can have an option that when it scan the file

Yes this is another connection reset issue but all I am asking is some pointers on how I can possibly determine what and why this is happening. Its easy to say its a network issue but the bosses and clients want to know how to fix this said "network issue." I have read the rsync issues list. Some of what is suggested we might try HOWEVER we cannot duplicate the errors that occur and

I have gotten an Rsync daemon set up on my Linux server. But I want to use my Windows XP computer to upload files to an Rsync module on the server. The problem is, Rsync won't work on my Windows computer. I have tried compiling various versions of Rsync in Cygwin, and nothing works. It's not a firewall problem, because I have disabled my firewall and tried to Rsync, and it still

Hi, Recently, there have been some fundamental achievements regarding acl-support on the cygwin platform. I thought that it would be convenient to offer an acl-patch enabled rsync as a part of the cwrsync package (a yet another minimalist rsync on cygwin solution). I get some compilation errors. What I did: - Downloaded acl patch v1.113 from rsync site - Run commands below In the rsync source
