Hello all,
I have trouble to use rsync (tested with 3.0.2 and 3.0.3pre2) on MacOS X
10.3.
Rsync always seems to stop when working on open files (?). Source is my
laptop
hard disk, destination a USB attached external drive.
If I stop Firefox for instance all runs smoothly.
This is how I built rsync:
#!/bin/bash
# VERSION=3.0.2
VERSION=3.0.3pre2
DIR="rsync-$VERSION"
PATCH="rsync-patches-$VERSION"
sudo rm -rf $DIR
tar xvzf $DIR.tar.gz
tar xvzf $PATCH.tar.gz
cd $DIR
patch -p1 < patches/fileflags.diff
patch -p1 < patches/crtimes.diff
./prepare_source
patch -p1 < patches/backup-dir-dels.diff
./configure
make
sudo make test
cd ..
This is how I run rsync:
sudo /Users/ar/work/rsync/rsync-3.0.3pre2/rsync \
-vvv --stats --progress -aHAX --fileflags --force-change --crtimes \
--exclude .Trash \
/Users/ar /Volumes/Pro-Backup/Users/ar
and the error log ends like this:
---
send_files mapped /Users/ar/Library/Application
Support/Firefox/Profiles/p3xm9ow4.default/secmod.db of size 16384

[EMAIL PROTECTED]/chrome/locale,14005)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=635): about to call exit(12)
I observed a similar "broken pipe" message when I copied something within
the source volume
using the Finder.
Is this just my peculiar compilation or usage of rsync?
Thanks for your help,
Axel.
