Hello, i tried to pull files from a linux server to a hp-ux server via
rsync -avz -e /usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp /danzas1/dump/testle. It failed for the socket fails. receiving file list ... server_sender starting pid=20793 [sender] make_file(daemon,*,2) [sender] expand file_list to 131072 bytes, did move recv_file_name(daemon) received 1 names done recv_file_list done get_local_name count=1 /danzas1/dump/testle recv_files(1) starting generator starting pid=20788 count=1 send_file_list done delta transmission enabled send_files starting recv_generator(daemon,0) mknod(daemon,0140766,0x0) mknod "/danzas1/dump/testle/daemon" failed: Invalid argument generate_files phase=1 recv_files phase=1 generate_files phase=2 generate_files finished send_files phase=1 send files finished total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 recv_files finished After that i tried to copy files locally on the hp-ux system but same error. Problem seems to be the mknod command on hp-ux that isn't able to build socket files. On Linux this problem doesn't occur it think i don't need the socket files for recovery a system (am i right ?) but i want to get rid of the errors ? Has anybody an idea ? I am running rsync 2.6.2 on hp-ux 11.00. I also tried older versions but same error.
