oh, this is interesting patch - thanks for giving pointer. i have tried it and it and it looks interesting, but somewhat incomplete.
i can transfer remote files to a local dir and they are being compressed on the local side, but (quite logical) this breaks size/content-checking. being also mentioned in the patch: +Use of --dest-filter automatically enables --whole-file. +If your filter does not output the same number of bytes that it +received on input, you should use --times-only to disable size and +content checks on subsequent rsync runs. so, just deciding transfer based on timestamp is a little bit unsafe for me. i tried "--checksum" but it didn`t work as expected. seems this option needs to be touched/enhanced to work with --dest-filter/--source-filter or maybe even size/content-checking can be implemented by just making sure rsync takes the uncompressed size for comparison. this will use much cpu, though.... regards roland > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: "Matt McCutchen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Gesendet: 23.09.07 04:11:43 > An: "Kenneth Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CC: rsync@lists.samba.org > Betreff: Re: compression of source and target files > > On 9/21/07, Kenneth Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sorry, I neglected to mention the source is uncompressed but > > we need to compress the target file because we're running out > > of disk space and the files are highly compressible. > > You might try the experimental patch "source-filter_dest-filter.diff" > that comes in patches/ of the rsync source distribution.
