This has been fixed in CVS for a while now. If possible, please try it out. If you'd prefer not to use the CVS version, it shouldn't be too much longer now before I start up a new pre-release cycle, and I'd very much like to get a lot of people testing it when it happens. ..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

[Bug 1442] rsync sender appears to hang when receiver recounters an error
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1442 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-08 19:02 --- rsync will definitely hang in debug mode, because it tries to write more than the TCP window before it is willing to read. The other side is doing the same thing, so both block on writes in a deadly embrace. I doubt this is the cause here, but the I/O loop needs to be fixed.

Rsync's sanitize function (which runs in the server process) would strip off all the ../ prefixes, turning this into "etc/security/passwd" (relative to the module's path). The sanitize function is used whenever a daemon's module doesn't have chroot enabled. ..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
Re: [Fwd: Re: rsync server complaining about vanishing files while they are not.]
Hans: Unless your server is in a completely trusted network, I'd suggest you put down some include/exclude rules for that module, because people can poke about anywhere they want. [module] path = /only/directory/you/want/to/give/them use chroot = no user does rsync server::module/../../../../../../../etc/security/passwd . Permissions (don't put "uid = 0" in the rsyncd.conf) can prevent that one, but rsync -a server::module/../../../../../../.. . is probably something you don't want. Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yep, I have set "use chroot = no" for the module and it works. The symlinks I have are created automatically by a tool and are absolute. But since "use chroot = no" handles well absolute links from root/, the transfer works A1.

Re: help with cwrsync
Hi, In the case your problem is caused by open files : -- AFAIK, as all other well-behaved backup solutions, rsync does not handle open files. They must be excluded some way or another. If you use Windows 2003, "openfiles" command gives you a list of open files. Output from this command can be used to generate an exclude-list that may comfort rsync. In the case your problem is due to lack of permissions : - Make sure that rsync user account has read permissions to directory structure you want to backup.

Re: rsync 2.6.2 doesn't work with GNU inetutils rsh
The library I referred to was getopt. It just seems to be trying to be a bit too clever... kind of like the automatic tuning radios in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I didn't know about the existing oddity in rsh. Thanks for the education. Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hmm. To be fair, rsh has always been an outlier - it's allowed flags to follow the hostname ever since I can remember. And there are other fine examples of tradition like tar and dd which are hardly exemplary. If anything, I'd feel things are slowly getting better. But for interest, which new library do you refer to above? > You will have to write an rsh wrapper. Hmm. That was actually what I did yesterday.

[Bug 1442] New: rsync sender appears to hang when receiver recounters an error

What happens is that the sending rsync just appears to hang. The receiving rsync processes are no longer running when I go to look, typically the next morning. I finally managed to capture an strace of the receiving rsync processes, which I've attached below. The child receiver process gets an error return on a write(), informs its parent by sending it two error messages, and calls exit(11). The parent receiver process reads the first of the two error messages, but not the second. It handles the SIGCHLD signal after read()ing the first error message. Thereafter, the patent's select() no longer includes the file descriptor on which (presumably) the second error message is waiting. And it never informs the sending rsync process of the error.
