Yeah, i know. Well, when I installed 2.6.3 the error message changed (notice that it doesn't contain the string "make_bak_dir" anymore).
Here is another snippet of the error in action. You can see that it isn't the problem you described (where there used to be a file name that is now a directory name). It tries to create directories higher up in the structure after already failing... rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000/03/01/Thumbs" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000/03/01/Originals" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000/03/01/Data" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000/03/01" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000/03" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library/2000" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics/iPhoto Library" failed: File exists (17) rsync: mkdir "/mnt/usbhd/Tuesday/home/anders/ibook_pics" failed: File exists (17) It hasn't had this error for the past 5 days though, maybe it fixed itself :) Thanks, Scott On Tue, 26 Oct 2004 18:31:17 -0700, Wayne Davison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Oct 26, 2004 at 05:52:41PM -0700, Scott Webster wrote: > > and seems to be mistakenly trying to recreate the directory when > > copying another file in the same directory over? > > I doubt it -- that is what 2.6.2 was doing, but not 2.6.3 -- 2.6.3 only > calls make_bak_dir() when it gets an ENOENT error trying to move the > backup file into place. > > > > ..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 > -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
