What have I screwed up in my > include/exclude patterns? Or have I misinterpreted the email? You're getting that ls -l type output because you did not specify a destination directory. Try adding a '.' to the end of your command line. - Dave Dykstra
RE: Can rsync synchronize design changes to tables and data between two Microsoft ACCESS replicas, mdb files?
R. Weisz [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] writes: > Has anyone using rsync ever tried using it to manage the replication and > synchronization process for Microsoft ACCESS replicas? If so, Not for Microsoft ACCESS, but we synchronize copies of SQL/Anywhere databases constantly. As long as you're not trying to synchronize files that are actively in use (which may prevent rsync from reading portions of the files) there's no reason why it won't work for any database file. Rsync itself is just treating the files as arbitrary binary data - it doesn't care about any structure to the file data, whether it be a database storage, word processing document, or just flat text. One small suggestion for efficiency - for our database transfers, we keep the blocksize at some multiple of the underlying database page size (1K for our SQL/Anywhere databases) since its the nature of the beast that all changes to the database will occur within those boundaries. It's not guaranteed to be more efficient, but we've found it to be so (it prevents multiple rsync blocks from being involved in a single database change). I believe for the Jet engine that access uses it was 2K prior to Jet 4.0 and 4K afterwards. -- David /---\ \ David Bolen\ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | FitLinxx, Inc.\ Phone: (203) 708-5192| / 860 Canal Street, Stamford, CT 06902 \ Fax: (203) 316-5150 \ \---/
Re: Preserving groups
Sorry for the delayed response, I was on vacation. The answer is hinted to in the man page under -o: Note that if the source system is a daemon using chroot, the --numeric-ids option is implied because the source system cannot get access to the usernames. Actually, that says "source" and in your case it is the receiver, but I think perhaps if you use "use chroot = no" on the receiver/server side it will probably work. The problem is that after a chroot it can't read the passwd and group files anymore. The daemon mode was really designed for being read-only, so you need to jump through a lot of hoops to write to one. I usually try to discourage people from doing it. - Dave Dykstra On Wed, Jul 18, 2001 at 05:01:00PM +1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I am new to rsync and am having trouble getting the presevation of groups > to work when I do an rsync copy between two computers.

Backup with rsync and after that with tar
Hello rsync list, Sorry if my response is already in the archives, I tried to find it but I failed! I have 5 computers running linux (rsync and ssh) remotely and I started to make backups with the following command: rsync -cavzRq -e /usr/local/sbin/ssh but I think (maybe I'm wrong) that this mess the symbolic links. I want to use tar and gzip to make backups from the HDD to tapes and I don't know if the archives will be correct or not because of the symbolic links. Thank you for your time and for this wonderful tool! Radu -- Best regards, RoBSD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anti hang comments
Some feedback. I'd been having trouble with rsync hanging or early EOF timeouts. Problem occurred on 2 identical receiving machines. I upgraded from Linux kernel 2.4.2 (RH 7.1) to 2.4.7 on the receiving machines. Sender machines are standard Linux RH 6.1 and RH 6.2 kernel.. Receiving machines are Duron 900Mhz 256 Mb software-raid1 ext2 2x40Gb. This improved the situation but still gave problems. Then I downloaded the latest rsync cvs and compiled on both machines and it's now working perfectly. Around 10Gb of data to sync. I tried many permutations of raid/non-raid, kernel 2.4.2/2.4.7 and rsync versions over many days and believe that both the kernel upgrade and the latest rsync cvs were necessary.
