Hi, I'm Jordi and I work at the university of barcelona. I'm trying to make a backup of our several clusters. In the past I worked with rsync with a very good results.
When I try to backup some large directories (for example > 1.5TB with a lot of large files >20GB) whit this command: rsync -aulHI --delete --partial --modify-window=2 --log-format=" %t %o %l %f " - -stats --exclude-from=/home/jingles/soft/sinc/sinc_conf/exclude_files.txt --temp -dir=/data/tmp --bwlimit=10000 -e "ssh -o ForwardX11=no -i "/root/.ssh/id_rsa" - l root" "/home" server_name:"/data/cerqt2/" it seems that rsync is working and finishing but when appears the message that summarizes the transferred files rsync starts the backup again (taking a lot of time) .... sent 640278263924 bytes received 217256421 bytes 8610488.88 bytes/sec total size is 783944943854 speedup is 1.22 rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] 2007/12/11 17:02:04 del. 0 home/jingles/soft/sinc/bin/home/g1benjamin/timel-fre q.po15740 .... I must say that these clusters are working full day so there are several changes in the data stored in our hard disks. I googled for this problem and I found that there are a patch file to solve this problem (you can see the thread in http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg17815.html ) but I can't found it. Can you help me? The youngest 3.0 version solve this problem? Thanks for any suggestion, regards, jordi
