Here is what happens with rsync 2.6.6 if the daemon is not restarted: # si_lsimage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available image(s): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- suse10 # si_mvimage suse10 suse10_tmp # si_lsimage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available image(s): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- suse10 suse10_tmp But this is not true, because there's only one image: suse10_tmp... Anyway, I agree, restarting rsync could generate some problems when you copy, delete or move an image while the clients are imaging... Which version of rsync are you using? if with your version this problem is solved I think we shouldn't care about the refresh and we could remove the restart of the rsync daemon. I don't know if there's a better solution for that... Regards, -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
