sudo / --link-dest combination problem.
Hi, using the attached script to implement an incremental rotating backup of my home directory works fine if I run it myself, however if it is run as root the -- link-dest fails and all files are recreated rather than linked to. Can someone explain the problem to me? I'm using rsync version 2.6.5 on Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0 (OS X Tiger) Thanks, Simon. === rm -rf /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.6 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.5 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.6 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.4 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.5 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.3 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.4 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.2 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.3 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.1 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.2 mv -f /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.0 /Volumes/Rotating backup/simonallfrey.1 /usr/local/bin/rsync -a --eahfs --link-dest=/Volumes/Rotating backup/ simonallfrey.1 /Users/simonallfrey /Volumes/Rotating backup/ simonallfrey.0/ === -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
RE: rsync error: some files could not be transferred -- How to ignore
Thanks Wayne.. Your mail answered my query perfectly.. -sanal On Thu, Jun 16, 2005 at 08:49:54PM +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any way to ignore these errors when i do file transfer using rsync? What do you mean by ignore? They're just warnings, so rsync ignores them already for most things, just not deletions that happen after the warnings (such as --delete-after), but see the --ignore option to handle that. If you mean that your script halts, you can code a script to ignore only specific return codes (namely code 23). One would need to know what shell you're using to help with that. ..wayne..

For files to be hard-linked together, they must be exactly the same in all preserved attributes. If you previously ran the script as a normal user, some files were probably created with either the wrong user or the wrong group from the originals (compared with what would be produced by a run as root). I would assume that this would solve itself going forward because the root-run files would match other root-run files. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
