exclude an entire dir from syncing ??
hi all... is it possible to exclude an entire dir from syncing (to remote dir) if the dir is in the sync path? regards -z The missing link between animals and the real human being is most likely ourselves.

Questions about exclude-file
Is there anyway to keep rsync from reporting an error when attempting to sync pagefile.sys (through a samba share)? It seems like any type of exclusion of the file gets ignored, why is that? Anyway around it? Also, of experimented with the exclude-from syntax quite a bit and haven't figure out how you could just backup all .doc files on a file system and exclude everything else.

Getting nowhere syncing a download
I must be doing something wrong with this, but I am trying to correct a downloaded iso which does not match the source md5sum. This is what I do: rsync rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso The command returns in a few seconds without any error message and nothing has changed with the md5sum on my copy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Bob -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Can't help thinking I'm missing something dreadfully obvious but I'm blind to whatever it is. One thing I did try was to rename the .md5 file and then used rsync to download another copy. No options and it just worked. Of course that is a tiny file, the one I'm trying to repair is 699 meg so I do not want to do a new download of that.

rsync transfer efficiency
Hi, Does anyone have the data of the rsync transfer speed vs. other tools like ftp? Or where is the place to find such information that compare the transfer speed between different tools? If I were to transfer a single large file, say 500Mega Byte, previously non-existent on the remote host, what would be the fastest tool I can choose for transfer?

If you are on a dialup connection the fastest is to send a CD-R overnight express. Do you care if the file is corrupted in transit? If so you need to factor in robust checksumming at both ends or use a protocol like rsync that has that built in. Until you get a network between 60Mb and 3500Mb the network is the bottleneck. There isn't going to be much variation in actual transfer speed under normal conditions. Some tools might send tiny packets and the window-size could become an issue on high latency links. While rsync can be used as a transfer tool that isn't its main function. The real value of rsync is for synchronizing two copies of the same file(set). Many other tools may transfer the file faster than rsync the first time. -- J.W.
