Summary: Random file has vanished when syncing clock with ntpdate/hwclock ? Product: rsync Version: 2.6.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have one master server with 2 GB and 1'331'703 inodes of files rsynced in parallels by two slave server at the same time (by a cron job). Randomly the rsync failed on both slaves with a list of files who sems to be vanished but the list of files are not the same on the two slaves who rsync the same source, the same time. The master source don't have any modification. On the beginning "ignore-errors" was used so all vanished files was removed from all slaves but still exist on the master. file has vanished: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx13" file has vanished: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx42" done deleting xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx13. deleting xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx42. After reading your docs I have removed "ignore-errors" to avoid removing files when file vanished detected ! file has vanished: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx13" file has vanished: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx42" done IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion After some research on all bugs reports about file vanished I found https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2607 Several months ago I have switched the cron job of ntpdate from cron.daily to cron.hourly. My master source and two slaves launch cron ntpdate/hwclock every hours at 17 *. The rsync batch starts at 00 * and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to finish. I suspect rsync to failed with random vanished file during the clock sync. Please could you confirm this theory ?
