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)

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.
