rsync based on checksum only

2012-07-05 Thread Yan Seiner
Is it possible to tell rsync *not* to use file names, date stamps, etc and only use the checksum for deciding if a file is the same? the remote machine "normalizes" a set of file names to remove all punctuation marks and forces all file names to lower case. The files themselves are unchanged. --

I am trying to use iconv to copy files from a UTF-8 machine to a iso8859 machine. The target is an embedded box with no UTF-8 support. I've tried both --iconv=utf-8,iso88591 and --iconv=. and the result is the same: [sender] cannot convert filename: Chris Botti _ Michael Bubl\#351 (Invalid

t doesn't save the state. You can look into unison, which is stateful - it saves the state of each replica between runs. I believe there is a way to get it to act like rsync - one directional transfers. --Yan -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_),>/

I'm trying to track down a mystery. I have a remote box that's running rsync 2.6.9. I tested it and everything worked fine for a while. I use pre-xfer exec to mount the cifs shares that I will rsync and post-xfer exec to unmount them. All of this worked fine in the shop and for the first two

OK, but I'm trying to do is to keep the last n revisions - NOT the last n weeks. So what if I have a file that changes once every 6 weeks? I want to keep 4 revisions, so that means I have to go back 6 months. But now the file next to it gets updated daily You see my problem? I want to

I've been trying to come up with a scripting solution for this for some time, and I'm convinced there isn't one. You definitely want to handle the revisions in the same way as logrotate: keep a certain depth, delete the oldest, and renumber all the older ones. If you want to get real ambitius, y

I think this is sort of what I'm looking for as well - I want to keep backups of deleted files for 3 working days. As rsync does not change the time stamp of backups, I have no clear way of knowing which backups are 1 day old, or 2 days old, or 3 days old. I've been thinking of writing a routine

I've had similar problems with rsync. It is definitely sensitive to large latencies. I solved the problem by reducing txqueuelen to 0 on the eth if and also on the vitual vpn if that talks to my router. This appeared to have fixed the problem. Various gurus have told me that reducing txqueuele
