Re: Using --keep-dirlinks : recursive symlinks problem
On Sun 22 Aug 2004, Ivan Manida wrote: It is not infinite, but it is inconvenient since rsync would generate a transfer error. I think it makes sense to detect such symlinks and have an option which would modify copy-links and keep-dirlinks behavior, since it's not always possible to modify the sending filesystem to correct the loop. I'd vote for detecting the trivial case of : link - . link - .. link - ../`basename $(pwd)` and perhaps link - ../anything Paul Slootman -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I second that. We backup Oracle on Solaris but we insist that the oracle is down.

Re: Anyone syncing database files?
You can do a hot backup by simply setting all the tablespaces in backup mode (alter tablespace 'BLAA' begin backup). Then you can rsync the database files and do an 'end backup' on each tablespace after. This will give you files that are consistient and the database will be recoverable from those files. A hot backup is useless unless you do this... eric Brian Cuttler wrote: I second that. We backup Oracle on Solaris but we insist that the oracle is down.

Re: Question about suitability of rsync utility
In particular, each additional file means rsync needs more memory. If you find that you don't have enough memory (or that you start to swap!!) the easy solution is to split the rsync job into two or more pieces. If you've got any sort of directory hierarchy this should be simple.

Just make sure you have enough memory on the machines which run it, at least 512MB free for rsync's use and it'll sync a million file partition. So if you're sure you only got around 100K files, you'll be fine (does not calculate for me though, 1TB and 100K files - they should be 10MB each, not exactly very small :) ). - Original Message - From: Sai Nanduru [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, August 22, 2004 6:50 pm Subject: Question about suitability of rsync utility Hi there, I would like to ask a quick question to the experts on this mailing list. If it has already been answered please pardon me (and point me to the location where I can view the answer). I have a need to setup a mirror for an NFS file system exported from a NetApp Filer device (based on BSD Unix 4.x) to a Sun server. About 100,000+ very small files get written to this file system every day on the Sun server. The file system size is roughly 1.0 TB currently. Please let me know if rsync utility can handle this kind of load (100,000 files) to setup backup mirror (backup new files to an alternate location every night).
