Re: Source directory without a trailing slash

Which probably isn't what you want. I believe the behavior you describe is a bug. rsync src dest should always copy to dest/src . However, if dest does not exist yet /and/ src happens to be empty, solo file mode will trip and the source path will be ignored. This is a pointless inconsistency. I think an empty directory should not be regarded as a solo file. In commit a7d461f, Wayne changed a comment in get_local_name to suggest that but apparently did not change the code to match. You're right, it does. Either I have a faulty memory or at some point I've used a buggy version.

Device not configured (explanation)
I am involved with the development of LBackup http://www.lbackup.org Recently there was a post to the lbackup-dicussion mailing list. http://tinyurl.com/lbackup-discussion-device-not Within the post they reported the following error: rsync: read /Volumes/Drobo_HD/lbackups/theserver.Homes/Section.0/Faculty/andrewmac/.DS_Store: Device not configured (6) I am curious to know if anyone else has seen this error on Mac OS X. In addition, is any one able to shed some light on what conditions may cause this error to occur? Any assistance, pointers, advice would be much appreciated. Should you need more information then please let me know what would be helpful. --- This email is protected by LBackup http://www.lbackup.org -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

As you might have guessed, that error is coming from the filesystem and is not rsync's fault; copying the file with cp should have similar chances of incurring the error. The symbolic name for errno 6 is ENXIO, and the Mac OS X read(2) man page documents two cases in which it occurs: [ENXIO]An action is requested of a device that does not exist.. [ENXIO]A requested action cannot be performed by the device. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man2/read.2.html All I can guess is that there is something wrong with the destination disk or filesystem. You might search the web for `mac os x device not configured' for more hints. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Count of files to be transferred
I'm making a GUI for rsync and having some problems getting a reliable indication of the files that will be transferred (so I can make a progress bar from the results). I didn't see rysnc offered this so my plan has been to get a list of files that will be transferred and count them as rsync reports them using the -v option thus getting a ratio I could make a progress bar from. The problem is I don't see there is a way to have rsync tell me which files will be transferred so I can count the list. I tried using the --list-only option to count the files first but I can't get it to report the same number of files as are actually transferred when I don't use the option. For example the same command with --list-only is listing 8000 files and when I remove the command 0 files are transferred (which is correct). Shouldn't the command using --list-only report 0 files also as that's how many will be transferred? Does anyone know a trick to get this information or some other way to get a reliable progress meter of the files transferred? Thanks for any ideas you have.

The problem is I don't see there is a way to have rsync tell me which files will be transferred so I can count the list. Rsync determines which of the files in the file list need a data transfer as it goes, so the only way to get the count in advance is to do a separate dry run. Then you could take the Number of files transferred from --stats output. Alternatively, you could base the progress bar on the total number of entries in the file list. The --progress option does this, but it won't be accurate if incremental recursion is enabled. I tried using the --list-only option to count the files first but I can't get it to report the same number of files as are actually transferred when I don't use the option. For example the same command with --list-only is listing 8000 files and when I remove the command 0 files are transferred (which is correct). Shouldn't the command using --list-only report 0 files also as that's how many will be transferred? No. --list-only lists all the source files and does not use the destination at all. I think it was originally intended for listing files on an rsync daemon. It can also be useful for testing. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
