How big are the files you are trying to rsync?  It is probably failing
here:

   if (verbose > 3)
   rprintf(FINFO,"count=%d rem=%d n=%d flength=%.0f\n",
   s->count,s->remainder,s->n,(double)s->flength);

   s->sums = (struct sum_buf *)malloc(sizeof(s->sums[0])*s->count);
   if (!s->sums) out_of_memory("generate_sums");

sizeof(s->sums[0]) is at least 32, and s->count is ceil() of file size
divided by the block size (default is 700).  So this malloc should be
around 5% of the largest file size (eg: approx 500MB for a 10GB file).
If VM is tight on your machine (you say it is intermittent) then this
might fail.

You could try - and see what the previous rprintf() shows --
unfortunately inside the loop below it also prints every checksum
when verbose > 3 so you will get a huge amount of output; just
tailing the output should be enough.

A solution is to increase the block size (eg --block-size=4096), which
reduces the malloc() needs proportionally.

RFE: using rsync as a backup tool (preserve access time & compress destination files) ?

2002-10-29 Thread Gilles-Eric Descamps



Hi,
 
I know those 
questions have been asked before
but that was more 
than an year ago.
I'm hoping the 
situation has evolved now.
 
I'd like to use 
rsync as a backup tool
to move around some 
data.
I often have to move 
hundreds of GB,
and that takes some 
time. I'd like to use rsync
so that if something 
happens, I can restart
the migration 
without loosing what has already been transfered.
But I noticed that 
every time I use rsync to backup
some data, it 
"corrupts"/updates the access time of the source file.
All the backup tools 
I've previously used preserve the access time
(otherwise, you'll 
loose your access time if you backup everyday).
Gnu tar has a 
"--atime-preserve".
 
I use both the 
access time (last read) & modification time (last write)
to identify which 
files to remove from the fast file server.
(I've written a tiny 
perl script to identify which files are "old").
 
I wish there was an 
rsync option to preserve access times (sce & dst).
 
I would also be 
delighted if there was another option that would
allow to 
compress/gzip/bzip files on the destination.
I believe that by 
having almost same filename -> filename.gz,
and having all times 
(A, C, M) identical, would be sufficient for a match ?
 
Why compressing 
files ? it's the best trade-off between ease of use
and compression. 
having no compression at all for old files leads to
waste of space (even 
on a cheap slow file server).
Compressing 
everyfile into a big tarfile makes it difficult to browse
a huge archive (I 
don't know of a "tar shell").
Keeping the 
directories uncompressed allows for browsing the data 
easily.
 
please 
?
 
Thanks in 
advance,

--Gilles-Eric DESCAMPS
 


Re: configuration question.

2002-10-29 Thread tim . conway
The only way you could give someone shell access and keep them from using 
rsync would be to find a way to prevent their access to any rsync binary 
through that shell.  Frankly, if they're already in, and can read these 
files as themselves, you gain nothing from preventing their use of a 
single application, as they can 'rsh host cat /etc/passwd', 'rsh host "cd 
/;tar -cf - ." |dd of=everythingonremotehost.tar', 
rlogin to the host and just poke around, whatever.  If this is a problem, 
then SHUT OFF RSH ACCESS oh, and if your network is not secure, that 
is, in fact, a problem.
if you don't want people looking at stuff, don't let them have shell 
access. If they can't get access to anything on the system except through 
your rsync daemon (I'm assuming the rsyncd.conf you referenced before is 
in /etc, and you started rsync either by typing 'rsync --daemon' or by 
appropriate setup of inetd), you can use the rsyncd.conf to define exactly 
what they can and cannot access.  If they can rsh, or even telnet, to the 
system, they can already read whatever they want.

RE: important caveat with Rsync on NT and dayligt savings time

2002-10-29 Thread wolfe-mcse
Howdy...


I have a printout of the manpage, and the -t states to transfer the
modificaiton time along with the file.  This is to place the same modication
time on the file when it is transferred, rather than the current time.

The easiest way to get around this issue is to use the -c or --checksum
option.  This instructs rsync to EXPLICITLY check the checksum against both,
and if they are the same, teh file is skipped.  Note, this DOES increase the
transfer time, as the 128-bit MD4 checksum is used.

Re: important caveat with Rsync on NT and dayligt savings time

2002-10-29 Thread bart . coninckx

If I understand the manpages correctly, if you use -t, the criterium for
syncing files is the difference in timestamp, not in size.
There are plenty of situations where the size of a file stays identical,
while it's contents has changed.
If you omit -t, all files are synced.

I think this "day light savings" time stamp issue also affects
Win98 as well - at least on a Win98 PC I use.
Rsync insists on updating all the files fully.
Shouldn't it just be resetting the times on the files
if the files are the same size - or am I missing
something here?

The number of files whose timestamp is less than one hour

be very small.

Reducing the window won't work (brain fart on my part).

If you run an rsync without the modify-window on
part of the trees each night you can get caught up.

That's actually a very good suggestion. First I figured that in this way
files changed within the hour after creation would be ignored, but they
probably represent a very small minority anyway.
On the other hand, this does not really rectify the situation, but will
allow us to postpone the real sync again until, let's say a holiday, where
we have plenty of time to sync.

This is at least the third time you have asked this.  You
don't provide enough info for anyone to address it.

It sounds to me like the rsync transfer isn't even using the
rsync daemon.

Next time send a copy of your rsyncd.conf file and the exact
command-line that is able to get the /etc/passwd file.

In your situation you might want to use --modify-window=3600
and each night either reduce the window or apply it to fewer

Your description is as confusing as the KB article (at least
to me).  Part of the problem with the KB article is that it
focuses on localtime displays rather than internals.

.From what i can tell FAT stores timestamps in localtime.
NTFS uses a GMT based timestamp.

I can see one of two places where we get bit.  As a matter
of curiosity i'd like to know which.

1. When the FAT timestamps are converted to GMT it is done
   based on the current TZ offset rather than the TZ offset
   in effect when the timestamp was made.

2. The NT equivalent of stat(2) is converting the NTFS
   timestamps to localtime and then the cygwin libs convert
   it back to GMT.

It would appear that the problem could be avoided either by
using NTFS or FAT filesystems.  Yes?   It certainly sounds
filesystem dependant.

I'd guess that the correct place to fix this is in the
cygwin libs.  They could be tweaked to recognize the TZ
calculation error of the NT libs.  There might need to be a
test for filesystem type (if possible) or a switch to
determine behavior otherwise what fixes some will break
others.

configuration question.

2002-10-29 Thread Armin Safarians




How do you restrict rsync transfers to only modules in the configuration
 file? 
It seems like even though I have a module configured, users can transfer
 files 
that they had permission to which is not under the directory of the  module.


I.E.
modulename
    path=/web
    ...
    ...
    ...

Users can get /etc/passwd from this machine. How do I restrict that.

 
Thanks, 
AMS 
 




RE: important caveat with Rsync on NT and dayligt savings time

2002-10-29 Thread bart . coninckx

No matter what my understanding's like: the timestamps on the files changed
after last weekend, resulting in a mismatch between source and destination
files. I've changed the clock to a timezone one hour ahead to compensate,
did a "F5" in a particular folder and miraculously the timestamps followed
along with one hour. Unfortunately, it was already too late for a lot of
files ...

Fortunately you posted the KB article number, and having read the article,
I
see you have a bit of a misunderstanding of what is going on.

First off, NT/2000 uses a offset from GMT, which does not observe Daylight
Savings Time (DST), for storing the time in the Event Log, and NTFS
volumes.
This also affects Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows XP
platforms viewing the same data remotely.

On the other side of file systems, the FAT16, and FAT32 filesystems use the
number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1980 to store the
time,
rather than a time offset from GMT.

In case you want to avoid this happening in the future, at least until a
solution can be developed, implemented, and tested, you can turn off DST.
This will mean that for one-half of the year, your clock will be
out-of-sync
by 1 hour, but it may be better to be off by 1 hour to avoid this problem
in
the future.

I appreciate you warning others about this, as it has identified a cosmetic
bug that I was completely unaware of.  Necessity is the mother of
invention,
and this nuance will be addressed in my implementation of rsync as a
service
for Win32.

In a word, Yes.

Read the docs.

The best way would be to put rsync on the W2000 machines and
have rsync either push or pull across the network.

While you cpuld rsync the smbfs mounts to local storage
rsync looses much of its advantage when accessing a network
mount.  Rsync's biggest advantage is to only send the
modified parts of modified files.  To do that requires
multiple accesses which is fine for local storage but not
for remote.  If you cannot install rsync on the windows
servers rsync with the --whole-file option disabling the
transfer optimization should still be a good approach.

As i said, read the docs.

And how much memory do you have.

And start a new thread.  "rsync help" is about the worst
possible Subject you could have used.  Try something like
"out of memory in generate_sums"

Help on syncing a windows server

2002-10-29 Thread Matthew Bettinger
Hello,

At my work we have multiple freebsd machines running samba.  Love it, things 
are working great.  We have several windows 2000 servers that our engineers 
store their working drawings on.  I need to create a mirror of this 
engineering windows 2000 machine to a freebsd machine running samba.  The 
purpose of this is so that regular employees, welders whatever can just read 
the drawings on the mirrored (freebsd) machine and not touch the windows 2000 
server that the engineers work on.  Right now I am using Robocopy and I was 
hoping I could do this with rsync instead.  

Here is what the freebsd tester box looks like.  You can notice the two smbfs 
mounts.  These are some of the engineering windows 2000 machines that I would 
like to mirror to this freebsd box.  

/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, NFS exported, local)
/dev/ad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad1s1e on /depot (ufs, NFS exported, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad2s1e on /general (ufs, NFS exported, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad3s1e on /Drawings (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
201.201.2.24:/share1/flexbackup on /flexbackup (nfs)
//ADMINO5@EMSCOR_ENG_NT/DWG on /ech_nt (smbfs)
//ADMINISTRATOR@SOLID-EDGE/DWG on /solid_edge (smbfs)

So in a nutshell I need to know if rsync can mirror the /solid-edge mount and 
/ech_nt mount  to /drawings.

Thank you for any insight.

important caveat with Rsync on NT and dayligt savings time

2002-10-29 Thread bart . coninckx
Hi,

just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just
last weekend, great consequences.
We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to
central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed
to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on
NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This means that
from Sunday 00:00 AM on, all files on the dest. serves had a timestamp of
one hour less than their original counterparts (Netware, which leaves the
timestamps alone). The result is that the syncs have been busy for the last
2 days trying to catch up and hence we don't have a backup for the moment.
Microsoft calls it a "feature", I call it poor programming.


You've been warned.
