[Sisuite-users] rsync Error 23: Sysimager 3.2.3

[stephen . litster]

Apologies if this has been resolved but I couldn't find anything in the archives.

prepareclient and getimage both work with no problems. The problem arises when I try to image a new client, 99% of the files transfer, however the following error appears and the process stops:

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(636)


The problem seems to be related to rsync. If I use the following on the command line , I get the same error I see when I use systemimager:

A)      rsync -avHS --exclude=lost+found   servername::image_name ./imagename

If I use:

B)   rsync -avHS --exclude=lost+found   dpangu7:/var/lib/systemimager/images/image_name ./imagename  -e ssh  (and enter the root passwd)

The rsync runs to completion.

The files that fail using method  A) above, has trouble with files with ownership: rwx------, however, after changing them to  rwx,r--,r--, most files seem to transfer (although there are still a few stragglers-especially the /usr/share/ssl and /var/lib/spool dirs?)


Has anyone run across this before?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve
