Re: rsync problem

[Michael]

thanks Matt. I ignored the squirrel this time!
disk not plugged in. there is a seagate expansion drive directory in /media.
after further investigation it seems rsync backed the seagate expansion
drive  to /media and not to /media/Seagate\ Expansion\ Drive. Would you say
rmdir and things should function normally? how should I do it? ' rmdir -r
/media/Seagate\ Expansion\ Drive'?

Re: rsync problem

[Bob Elzer]

what about running the rsync command from root?

if you know the root password, you can sudo to root and run the rsync
command and it should be able to accomplish any reads and writes

The way the problem is showing up makes me think it's the automounter 
doing something dumb.  2 directories in /media/bmike1 , one named with 
the filesystem label of the disk, one named that label+"1" is a classic 
programmer solution to the problem of having two filesystems with the 
same label present at the same time.  Something somewhere forgot to 
clean up the old mountpoint, the automounter thinks the device is still 
there, and your backup fails because the device is mounted to a 
mountpoint that's not what you expect.


So:  Go in to whatever's doing your automounting, gnome-mount or 
whatever, and umount all the removable media devices it thinks are 
mounted.  Unplug the disk.  After that, there should be no directories 
in /media/bmike1/ .  If there are, rmdir them.  Then plug the disk back 
in.  If you're lucky, the automounter will then put the disk on the 
right mountpoint.

yes
where do you keep it and how do you treat it.
it sits on top of the computer
do you keep it you glove compartment and go off roading everyday?
not at all
my guess would be you are not unmounting it correctly. if you yank it out
before unmounting it, you could be interrupting some write operations.
which could corrupt something.

was this a new drive or a refurbished drive, or maybe an old used drive?
it was new from amazon

 Have a good look at the ls -l output and the output from mount.  This
 is a problem people run into with automounters and sometimes mounting
 by
 device identifiers.  I had an older removable drive that would
 sometimes
 show up with a /dev/disk/by-id/ unique string that ended in
 "1870-0:0-part1" and sometimes "187-0:0-part1", which might confuse an
 automounter in a very similar way.

 Or you have multiple disks with identical volume labels.  That's always
 a recipe for disaster, kind of like putting a moose in a blender.

it isn't a flash drive. it is an external hard drive.

Re: rsync problem

[Bob Elzer]

I think the real question might be how do you remove the drive from the
system.

you have had a lot of problems with flash drives doing the same thing and
we always thought it was the flash going bad, so we recommended a external
hard drive.

Questions would be are you unmounting before you remove it.

where do you keep it and how do you treat it.

do you keep it you glove compartment and go off roading everyday?

my guess would be you are not unmounting it correctly. if you yank it out
before unmounting it, you could be interrupting some write operations.
which could corrupt something.

was this a new drive or a refurbished drive, or maybe an old used drive?

I would only recommend using a new drive to store backups on.

More explicitly, the root directory of the removable device mounted on 
/media/bmike1 could be owned by root and not writable by group/other.  
This is why if you have a removable medium that's not FAT, you usually 
have several subdirectories in that device's root dir that can be 
chowned to whoever.  If you're using this device to back up more than 
one machine, you may be running into UIDs being different on different 
machines.  Post the output of "mount | grep bmike1" and "ls -l 
/media/bmike1" and "dmesg | tail".

Re: rsync problem

[James Mcphee]

Something to also pay attention to, some filesystems don't support all the
options that rsync tries to set, like users and permissions.  In that case,
it's necessary to do rsync with a flag besides "-a" and pull the
unsupported bits out of the "-rlptgoD".  This is suboptimal, since a lot of
those fields are also part of the matching for changes, but 

Anyway, something to think about.

Re: rsync problem

[Brien Dieterle]

Well it is formatted for Windows vfat but it is mounted RW so there was
probably an error that caused it to remount read only.  I'd backup any data
you need off that drive and run
sudo umount /dev/sdd1
sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdd1
to check and repair filesystem errors.

 If it is flash, how many times have you copied to it? A lot?

 What size is it? Is it near full?

Plug it in, run "mount", just the command, no options, to print mount

df says it is 85% full with 5 G left of 30. I sure hope it isn't dying
I bought it less than a year ago. I only write to it around 8 times a
month. as for how it is mounted this is the first time it has messed up on
me since I bought it.

Your file system is mounted read only.  Is it NTFS?  You need to mount it
RW.  NTFS might require additional tools

well, I just ran it with the trailing slash and it gave me the same output
as before except it happened immediately. The USB drive wasn't accessd for

Re: rsync problem

[Bob Elzer]

My syncs look like this

Rsync -rauh  --delete  /frompath/fromdir   /topath/todir

This copies the fromdir into the todir directory and copies all files and
directories below fromdir

-r   recursive
-a  archive - which is synonymous to -rlptgoD
-u  update :don't over write newer files
-W  copy whole files (don't do delta)
-h  human readable numbers

This backs up my stuff to an external drive, thus I don't need to do a
delta or compression because it is all local
--delete  Any files that were removed from the source will be removed from
the destination

If I were copying across a network, I add -z  and remove -W
Which will compress the transfer and only send changes when possible.

Normally I use --quiet and change it to --verbose or --progress when I want
to monitor it

Re: rsync problem

[Michael]

it has worked without the trailing slash until now.
everything has worked perfectly until today (well over ayear with rsync run
at least once a month.

Re: rsync problem

[Sesso]

If you don't use a trailing /, it will copy a whole directory. As Brian also 
said. A / at the end of the destination also if you want the files IN that 
directory. 

I use rsync -avzpor quite frequently for migrations. Final syncs will get 
--delete so it has an exact copy.

Re: rsync problem

[Brian Cluff]

ls -h doesn't show hidden files, it shows the files sizes in "h"uman 
readable format.


Do an ls -a to show "a"ll the files, including the hidden ones.

Also I think you might need to add a trailing / to your destination 
directory to get it to work correctly.

rsync problem

[Michael]

When I run rsync one file (a directory) will not sync and the files in that
file. I was wondering why. I thought that maybe if the file was in there to
start that would fix it and it does so if only temporarily. Upon the next
run of rsync the directory in question is deleted.
the command that is run:
 $ rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents
/media/bmike1/RedSanDisk
