Special files and Cygwin
Hi, I'm trying to use rsync to backup a linux filesystem to a windows server. I followed the hints that I found at http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html to run rsync on windows, and it works quite well. 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. What do you think about that? Has anyone tried it before? I could not find references on the mailing list archive or on the web. Thank you -- Pier Paolo Glave __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Re: Using the rsync checksums for handling large logfiles.

Each one is maintaining its own logfiles and, for various reasons, we want to keep these on the servers' local disks, with each server having its own log rotation policy. We also have a box which acts as a central repository of logfiles. A script runs every 10 minutes on this box and pulls whatever's been appended to the logfile during the previous 10 minutes across to the log server. Ever considered using syslog, and sending all data to the central log server?

synchronisation in multiple directions.
We want to have the same files on multiple sites, of which one act as master. If the file changes on 1 site it should be moved to the master, and then from the master to the other sites. That part shouldn't be that hard to do, but what also should happen is that if a file is deleted or added on one site it should get removed or added on the sites too. And afaik, I can't currently do that with rsync. The only solution I can come up with is that you keep track in a file of what files you last got from the master. And if the slave now has a file more than it had last time, transfer it to the server. If it has a file less remove it on the server. Do you think this solution will work? Or are there better ways?

And afaik, I can't currently do that with rsync. That's what unison is made to do -- it synchronizes changes between two systems (at a time), propagating changing in both directions. Using it you can either syncronize everyone to a master system, or you can use a daisy-chain in a circular run of multiple systems (e.g. A syncs with B, B syncs with C, C syncs with A). Unison uses the rsync algorithm to transfer its files, so it's network-efficient like rsync. Alternately, use a distributed file system, such as AFS or SFS. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
touch option for -c ?
Hi, I hope this hasn't been asked before ... I couldn't find it anyway. To the best of my knowledge, without the -c option rsync judges file differences based on date stamp and file size. This speeds things up of course but can be problematic when date stamps of two otherwise identical files are uncontrollable (say when they come from two different sources, such as installed from CD vs FTP). So -c is called for, right? Is there any way to have rsync syncronize the date stamps of the files on the destination host (even the ones that aren't changed) so that subsequent rsyncs can omit -c?

Re: rsync 2.5.6 hanging
FYI - RHL 6.1 is no longer supported - from a Red Hat perspective that is :-( See the Red Hat Errata: Security Alerts, Bugfixes, and Enhancements page here http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ You may indeed get help here since this list is an rsync list. If I knew what your problem might be I'd try to help you myself, but I don't so hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas for you to try.
