Subject: RE: Rsync fails to rename on
Windoze2003
This is mostly wild guesses (with luck you get some more
knowledgeable answers)
From what I have observed ...
file of the form .RICHED~1.cab.IEKJmo is an rsync temporary of
file RICHED~1.CAB
Trying to rename the temporary file to its permanent name, it ran
into trouble on the name RICHED~1.cab
The idea is to NOT destroy the older target if the transfer goes
south.
Do
a DIR cdrom/riched32/RICHED*.cab and see if it turns up
anything.
If
you have more than one of them, Windows probably gets it wrong as to
which
is
RICHED~1.cab and which is RICHED~2.cab
Windows does have a kinda-sorta soft-link with the DOS 8.3
naming.
Anything complicated in the naming and Windows manages to get it
wrong at least half the time.
Some further information:
I went back to 2.6.6 of rsync on the client
and server and at least the entire sync completes. I still get the
'Permission Denied' problem on the rename though. I had a look at the logs and it appears the rename
error is _always_ on a file name with a '.' as the starting
character. e.g.
...
rsync: rename
"MEDIA_2006_LATEST/cdrom/riched32/.RICHED~1.cab.lEKJmo" (in MEDIA_2006)
-> "cdrom/riched32/RICHED~1.cab": Permission denied (13)
...

tag_hits=1689129 false_alarms=123 data="">

total size is 1470681718 speedup

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/main.c(791)
My source tree has no files with a '.' at the
beginning. There was a file 'RICHED~1.cab' in the source - don't
know why rsync thinks there should be a '.' in front of it on the
destination.
So it appears that file permissions to not
have a bearing on the problem, but something in rsync is looking for files
with a '.' at the beginning. But why does this only occur at random,
not for every file? Note the 'false alarms' above - does that mean
anything?
Does anyone have any further notion why I get
these rename errors?
Thanks in Advance!
Corey.

Subject: Rsync fails to rename on
Windoze2003
Hi
All,
I've seen
several variations on this topic, but nothing exactly the
same:
I have two
Windows 2003 servers that I want to use rsync (2.6.8) to mirror.
These machines are separated by a WAN.
Initial
attempts to get rsync working between them have not been
successful. The first rsync went fine, which seeded the files, but
the second sync always fails (at a ramdom time) with a
rsync:
rename "AP16A7~1.cab.V55PQE" (in MEDIA_2006) -> "AP16A7~1.cab":
Permission denied (13)
On the
server, the rsyncd (from cwRsyncd), I initially ran the service as user
SvcwRsync (from the installer), then added the user to the
Administrators group, then changed the server to run as Administrator,
all to no avail.
If it was a
perms problem, I wouldn't get _any_ files updated, but this fails on the
rename at a random time.
So I changed
the rsync client to --inplace and I see (again
random):
unexpected
tag 3 [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code
12) at io.c(828) [sender=2.6.8]
I really
would prefer to not have to use --inplace to optimize the bandwidth
taken up.
Any thoughts
on why the rename fails? I would have thought the owner of the
service as local Administrator would be fine!
Thanks in
Advance!
Corey.
