Need help getting rsync working...
I have so far been unable to get rsync to work properly in a test setup. Does anyone have any ideas? Both PCs are running RedHat 7.2. The Server: IP Address 192.168.0.202 Server Name: RH72TB hosts.allow ALL: 192.168.0.201 rsyncd.conf: [testmodule] path = /tmp The Client: IP Address 192.168.0.201 hosts file: 192.168.0.202RH72TB I have run rsync --daemon on the server. There is a file called sheepb.jpg in the /tmp directory of the Client that has been chmod-ed to 777. I am logged in with the same username and password on both of the PCs. On the Client, I run: rsync /tmp/sheepb.jpg RH72TB:tmp/ Result after 30 seconds: RH72TB: Connection refused unexpected EOF in read_timeout There is nothing in /var/log/messages. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: ssh + permissions
Sure. Don't tell rsync to preserve permissions. This precludes the use of the -p, and --permsoptions, and the -a, and --archive options, which imply them. If your wording means that the permissions on the source are not appearing on the destination, change precludes to requires and and to or in the sentence above.

Which archive to get?
Hi! In view of recent zlib problems, which tar.gz should I get? README for 2.5.3 says, that this problem is fixed, however, the file which is available for download at http://va.samba.org/ftp/rsync/ is called rsync-2.5.3-compression-broken.tar.gz So, is this archive ok, or something is still broken there?

Queston on using the delete option
You brought up a very good point which described what rsync can and can not do. Because of the robustness of this application, we are trying to find a way to use rsync and replacing our current primitive system which uses tar and send the data over a small pipe. Since my last posting, I have thought about not using the --deleteoption and instead, gather a list of files to be deleted from our internal publishing/staging system and remove them separately. Once again, thank you much for you comments and suggestions. Rsync is the best replicating application I have seen so far. It's much better than rdist and even some of the commercial applications. A Big thanks to the rsync development community. Regards, Andy Lam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xilinx Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon, 11 Mar 2002 16:50:24 -0700 Previous message: Compiling on a Cobalt RaQ1 Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Through what method might rsync determine whether a file on the destination is from the source and since deleted, or created on the destination, when even you have no way of knowing. You would need a complete history of both filesystems, every create, rename, move, insert, delete, append, and unlink, in the correct order, in order to know which side a file came from, and in the case of duplicate filenames being created on each end, which one is the correct one. Actually, in that case, you'd also need to know the intentions of the users creating the files. This is not information that can be gathered by examining the state of the two filesystems, which is all rsync can do.Your application appears to call more for a shared filesystem scheme. Surely you're not mirroring or backing up to a location being locally changed in ways even you don't know. It can do only what you tell it to do.

I'm so sorry that I launched the previous email by mistake and before I had a chance to complete it. Here is the summary of my previous question. We would like to use rsync to mirror the contents from our internal staging server ( A) to the external website (B) at our ISP without delete some existing files on B. On server B, we have applications that creates temporary lock files and customer upload files which I have no ideas what to exclude.The --exclude option would be my last resort, but I just want to know if there are better alternatives. If I use the --delete option in rsync, all the temporary files at the destination B will be deleted. In contrast, if I don't use the --delete option, the destination's temporary files will be intact, but any files removed from the source, A will not be deleted at the destionation B. It seems to me that the --delete option is either all or none with the --exclude option as exception. Maintainning a static list of exclude files would be very difficult and cumbersome for future maintainance. I have gone through the FAQ as far back as 2000, but couldn't find any similar question. Would appreciate very much if someone could please give me some pointers. Attached is the rsync command line that I use: rsync --verbose --update --progress --stats --compress --ignore-existing --delete --delete-after --recursive --times --perms --links --dry-run --rsh=/usr/local/bin/ssh --rsync-path /var/tmp/rsync /export/volx/documents/ destination_login@hostB:/export/volx (notice I left dry-run there for testing) Thank you in advance for your help .

However, i suspect that some others would gripe at rsync --link-dest not linking if all that changed was file meta-data. I can't imagine anybody griping at that. I could be wrong but i think --link-dest without a seperate --compare-perms or its inverse might cause more confusion although users could leave off -pgo if they don't care about the meta-data. Right. This may become more of an issue with ACLs and other extended file attributes. But that is at least another year in the future. By the way, really appreciate rsync. I tried this with rdist because it didn't have the permissions problem but the performnce stank. Monitoring it i found the slowdown wasn't bandwith, disk or CPU. Rsync even did the initial transfer (nothing on dest) at over 10x the speed with the limitation being the 350MHz cpu on the backup server. - Dave Dykstra -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: Need help getting rsync working...
To use the rsync --daemon, you need to use two colons after the server name. The next problem you'll probably run into is that you'll need read only = no in rsyncd.conf. - Dave Dykstra On Tue, Mar 12, 2002 at 06:26:12PM +1000, Rsync mail Account wrote: I have so far been unable to get rsync to work properly in a test setup.

Re: Patch: --drop-suid Remove suid/sgid from target files
If we would add an option to do that functionality, I would vote for one

The attached patch adds an option --drop-suid which caused rsync to drop

Added as we want to rsync the same files to machines both inside and outside
our firewalls. For machines inside the firewall some files should be suid,
for machines outside the firewalls they should not be. This option allows
us to maintain one source tree and set if the target will be suid or not

Simplest script to backup many Linux servers
Okay, I've been lurking on this list for several weeks and have finally gotten rsync to work well when transferring files from one box to another. It is really great for passing lots of files from one machine to another, i.e. ripped MP3 to my home Linux machine, as one example. Now I am ready to take the next big step. I have a large 1.5 terabyte server from Raidzone that I have NFS mounted on my main backup Linux machine. The backup machine is running Red Hat 7.2 with the latest rsync RPM version they recommend, rsync-2.4.6-10. Normally, I use dump/restore to backup all 30+ Linux machines here to tape. I'd rather use rsync to move everything or just the important files on each server to the mounted Raidbackup machine. My questions is, what is the best way to do this? or what would be the simplest script. I tried the following script; # Backup all partitions and files #!/bin/sh rsync -av * 192.168.10.10:/export3/mailworks.ksl.com/ but it seems to hang quite a bit as it generates the necessary list. I have created directories for each server name in the /export3/ directory and to a limited extent it works. But it seems to require some more tweaking and I'm rather at a loss. I can backup the contents of an individual user's directory with no problem, but I'd like to back it all up or rather mirror the entire machine on the raidzone backup box. Here is how I have it mounted. [root@backup mailworks.ksl.com]# df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on 64.147.130.xx:/home/ksl 1.2T 1.1G 1.1T 1% /export3 Can anyone suggest a better script for copying things over? or for improving my method of running rsync? Thanks much. Kerry -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Perhaps you mean that the file ownership is not the same on the destination machine? On most Unix systems, only root can change the ownership of a file. rsync cannot get around this restriction. So if you need to transfer files owned by multiple users and have the permissions be the same, then you must make the destination ssh account be root. Similarly only root can create device nodes. --devices cannot do anything unless the destination runs as root.

Re: Compile error
The patch Jos gave to me works successfully, I can
compile rsync2.5.3 on Solaris5.5.1 and Solaris5.7.
Also, I don't see any error after I tried to run new
rsync between 5.5.1 and 5.8.
Thanks a lot to Jos.

no files are transferred?
Hi Julie, I am setting up rsync via the server method and am having a problem with syncing from a local server to the remote server. The command lists the files that should be transferred but they never are. However if I am on the remote machine and request an rsync from the local then this works. ie: # rsync -avz /local/fs remote::test This is not working, it lists the files that are to be transferred but they are not received on the server remote in the test user. # rsync -avz remote:test /local/fs This is working. Do you have any advice on the matter? Basically I want the local machine to put files on the remote system, I do not want the remote system to get the files. Please check that you set the read only = no option on the server's rsyncd.conf. To promote security, the default setting is read-only. Also please look in the log file on the server. What version of rsync and platform are you using? -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Thanks for your reply Greg. As you suggested, I have typed in: rsync /tmp/sheepb.jpg RH72TB::testmodule/ and it just does a CR-LF with no errors, but the file is not on the server hard drive.

delete files from source after download.
hi, i am into a client server programming. in that it is absolutely necessary for the rsync server to be installed at the client and rsync client at the server. The server(rsync client) needs to download from the client(rsync server) and then delete the source file at the rsync server. right now i am doing this as, download the file and rsync back a zero byte file to the source. is there an atomic operation to delete the file at source after client downloads it. thanking you. -- regards, hari -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
