Howdy! I'm experiencing mknod errors upon rsyncing between FreeBSD machines. I found this post on the subject, and followed this clue to the rsync list limited luck, where I asked if there was something else I could do (I am using a different version) to get around the problem with.
Can anyone help me with these? ------- From: Thomas Quinot ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Rsync 2.5.5: FreeBSD mknod can't create FIFO's This is the only article in this thread View: Original Format Newsgroups: mailing.unix.rsync Date: 2002-06-24 06:05:25 PST The following patch (adapted to rsync 2.5.5 from the one posted in Dec. 2000, http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2000-December/003349.html) is necessary to prevent rsync from failing on creating FIFOs or UNIX sockets on FreeBSD. Any chance for it to be integrated in a future release of rsync?
