As my question indicates, I know the above. | So the question remains: In regard to output, rsync has | the following features: | | a) -v option with various levels of verbosity | b) --stats | c) --log-file=foo | d) messages rsync prints to stdout | e) messages rsync prints to stderr. | | Where can one find an explanation of the format, content | and interpretation of the outputs (a-e)? What I do not know is how to interpret the output from rsync. To give some specific examples: 1) consider the message: 2007/09/13 16:50:52 [13688] receiving file list Isn't the list of files determined from the command line used to invoke rsync? So what this new list of files that are being received from where and by whom? 2) In the following three lines, 2007/09/13 17:44:29 [13688] >f..t.... cmsstorage.lst 2007/09/13 17:50:53 [13688] >f.st.... WINDOWS/SYSTEM/FFASTLOG.TXT 2007/09/13 17:50:53 [13688] >f+++++++ WINDOWS/TEMP/CP1293.TMP what does the ">f<stuff>" mean? 3) In the following, 2007/09/13 17:43:10 [13688] IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion for what transaction was the IO error encountered: while reading the source (which file exactly)?, while writing the destination (which file exactly)?, while talking from sender rsync process to receiver rsync process?, while talking from receiver rsync process to sender rsync process? 4) What are the consequences of the following skip? IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion How can I know determine whether or not the "skipping" had any bad effects? So the question is: Where can one find an explanation of the format, content and interpretation of the outputs (a-e)? --Suresh -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
