Help With File transfer of files named Apple* + Lacie 5Big RAID
Hello Rsync Community, I have been using rsync for several years to backup servers across an array of different areas. I have run into a new problem that I cannot find an answer for. We just recently purchased a Lacie 5Big Network RAID: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1596257 for one organization. We set up a test server to start backing up to this RAID via AFP. The server is a Mac Intel XSERVE running Leopard 10.5.6. We are rsync'ing an internal volume of staff users to the AFP share via this command set nightly. --- #!/bin/sh #set -xv; exec 1~/Desktop/out 21 if [ -d /Volumes/Backup ] then umount /Volumes/Backup sleep 2 fi if [ ! -d /Volumes/Backup ] then mkdir /Volumes/Backup mount_afp afp://backup:bac...@stbackup.example.com/Backup /Volumes/ Backup fi mkdir -p /Volumes/Backup/Staff_Backup date=`date +%Y-%m-%d` rsync -rltP --exclude-from /main_backup_excludes.txt --link-dest=/ Volumes/Backup/Staff_Backup/current /Volumes/st1/Staff/ /Volumes/ Backup/Staff_Backup/back-$date rm /Volumes/Backup/Staff_Backup/current ln -s /Volumes/Backup/Staff_Backup/back-$date /Volumes/Backup/ Staff_Backup/current - The script has run fine via SSH and other AFP shares in the past. However, as of now with the 5Big it does not. Every time we run the script (or any derivative of rsync on this directory) and it reaches a file that begins with the word apple or Apple it will hang When watching the output it will just simply set there on that file and not continue. We have left it setting for about 8 hours just to see. Once we rename the file to something like 1apple or Appl or Bpple it will transfer and continue. We have not seen this problem with any other AFP backups to other brands of AFP shares we have used. For now we are excluding Apple* from the backups so that they will continue. Everything seems to be working just fine (Other than a huge chunk of missing Apple* files) NOTE: It does not have this problem on Folders that are named Apple. Just Files Here is the e-mail I received from Lacie when I asked about this issue: Quote Lacie: I apologize, as advised previously, if the issue is just with the rsync software, I won't be able to determine what the issue it is having. The drive itself is operating appropriately if you are not having a problem manually transferring over the same files. I apologize but I don't have anything I could advise doing to the 5Big, since it works in a supported fashion, nor do I have anything for the rsync software. End Quote Lacie Any advice or help on this crazy issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jameson Giebler -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Re: Help With File transfer of files named Apple* + Lacie 5Big RAID
Hi there, Which version of rsync are you using? The following link has some details regarding compiling the latest version of rsync on Mac OS X : http://connect.homeunix.com/lbackup/developer/rsync_hfs Also, I am unsure if it will make any difference, but perhaps the underlying file system of this device you are pushing to via AFP is not HFS+ formated. Finally, although this is not a very helpful suggestion, have you considered pulling the backups to another machine with directly attached storage via SSH rather than pushing them using AFP to this device? I hope some of this information helps you resolve your issues with this backup. Hello Rsync Community, I have been using rsync for several years to backup servers across an array of different areas.
