Re: rsync --daemon and logfile that can't be created

Here'a a proposed patch to fallback to syslog if opening the log file fails: Much better would be to test the status of open() in openlog and if there is an error kick out a message and exit. If log_init() were called just a little earlier in clientserver.c:daemon_main(), specifically before closing stderr then the error message could be sent to stderr. That would be much better, and simpler than assuming syslog is available as a fallback. Perhaps someone more familiar with the daemon code could consider this. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The only problem I found is that windows is not able to backup linux special files (/dev/*). I don't know if the problem is in the way rsync has been compiled, or simply in the fact that mknod.exe is missing. Ultimately the problem is that Windows doesn't have special files. Not in the OS nor in the filesystems. The fact that there is no mknod.exe is irrelevant though indicative.

IPv6 literal addresses on command line
Hello all, Just to get some er, 'closure' on this, if you will (spot the thinly disguised, desperate repost)... To summarise: no-one is currently using rsync over IPv6 on linux. I superficially applied a patch suggested by a list member and while this fixed the problem of correctly parsing the IPv6 literal address, linux was still unable to find the host and appeared, unlike BSD, to ignore the /etc/hosts file. Several items are mentioned in the TODO file with regard to these issues so I suppose that, short of myself or someone else finding the time to engross themselves in the rsync code, this is the way it shall remain.

I just tried a simple test, and it sure seems to work. For lack of an
rsync server that talks IPv6 and wants to talk to me, I can't actually
verify the working. However, I see that it initiates an IPv6 connection:
$ strace -o strace.out -f rsync bla www.x.net::bla
excerpt from strace.out:

I don't have any IPv6 addresses in my hosts file...

Windows XP date/timestamp issues
Hello all! Long time listener, first time caller. I have an issue I hope someone has seen before. I have a NetWare6 server running RSYNC server, and a LINUX box running RSYNC client from CRON to get the files from the NetWare server. The command is rsync -qrtu --delete --exclude (some excludes here)and all works well. Except... Whenever a Windows XP system opens a file on the NW server, and then saves the changes, the date/time stamp doesn't change, and RSYNC (with the switches I'm using) doesn't copy the delta over. Mac OSX clients and files ftp-d in don't have this problem, nor do XP edited files saved into different directories or with different names (no surprise there). Just when they're opened and saved with the same name in the same directory. M$'s knowledge base, Novell's, and Google have turned up nothing useful. I've checked client caching, XP settings, NetWare NSS3 volume settings, everything I can think of. Now, I have RTFM, tried other switches, and I either get a process that runs constantly, or the same behavior. I'm at a loss and hoping someone will be generous with advice. Please tell me my switch interpretation (from rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html mainly) is the issue. :) Thanks for your time...

daily back (incremental backup )

I have taken script from rsync examples, and made changes. . But it doesn`t work can someone help me. #directory to backup (source) /mnt/novell # novell server mounted everyday just ## for backup purpose #directory on which backup back to be taken(destination) BSERVER=/home/bipin/ #sub-directory date wise for everyday's incremental backup???

Here is my script. It copies $1 to $2/date/ and deletes the mod(today,
$3) version from $3. The clean up scheme leaves me with some old, more
more recent copies.
It is fast. I mount windows machines vai smb and after the first
backup, can backup a whole 1.3GB machine in just a few minutes.
The results are similar to faubackup, without the reliance on inode
numbers. There is a directory for each day, but files are only copied
when changed and unchanged files are all hard links to the same file. I
think storeBackup works like this (just found it yesterday).

last=`/bin/ls -d $dest/* | sort | tail -1`

now=`date +%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S`
rm -rf $tmp
/usr/local/bin/rsync -a $@ --link-dest=../$last/ $src $tmp
mv $tmp $dest/$now
# clean up
dir=$dest
mod=$[ `date +%d` % $count]
