DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6667] New: proposal: --transaction
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6667 Summary: proposal: --transaction Product: rsync Version: 3.1.0 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: way...@samba.org ReportedBy: d...@yost.com QAContact: rsync...@samba.org someday, perhaps with zfs, file system APIs will offer transaction wrapper functions, something like fio_begn(), fio_cancel(), fio_commit(). In the meantime (another 10 years?) until that happy day arrives, rsync could fake an almost transactional update in the following manner: instead of creating hidden files as you go, create a hidden directory at the root of the tree containing all files being transferred. Populate this new tree with transferred files, then when all have been transferred, hard link all the rest of the files from the existing tree into the new tree. Finally, rename the existing tree to a backup name, rename the new tree into place, then rm -rf the renamed old tree. --transaction and --partial would work well together. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

content of file
Is it possible to stream the content of a file using rsync to stdout instead of placing it into a file? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

snapshot support in rsync
Hi, I have been using rsync-3.0.6 to sync my huge file system and it works awesome. I have been getting really annoying lots of errors about file has vanished. We thought on getting rid of this and realized that having snapshot support in rsync would make things much easier. Could you please let me know if there is any way to get rid of this error message in rsync-3.0.6? If not then is there any plan of getting rid of it in future? Thanks a ton, Jignesh -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
