Summary: (Bug incl. PATCH) Linux mknod does not work when syncing
fifos and sockets from Solaris
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.6
Platform: x64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: way...@samba.org
ReportedBy: sebastian_kap...@gmx.net
QAContact: rsync...@samba.org
When syncing specials, namely pipes and sockets from a Solaris host, rsync -a
prints error 22. Remote version is 2.6.3pre1.
s...@noether(~/rsnyc/rsync-3.0.6pre1)> ./rsync -a klein:/tmp/xhyjxhy .
rsync: mknod "/home/sk/rsnyc/rsync-3.0.6pre1/xhyjxhy" failed: Invalid argument
(22)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code
23) at main.c(1505) [generator=3.0.6pre1]
Reason: rsync calls mknod ("filename", ..., 0xffffffff), which Linux rejects,
as allowed by POSIX.
rsync should clear the third parameter before calling mknod.
Suggested patch in syscall.c, do_mknod:
111 #ifdef HAVE_MKNOD
112 if (S_ISSOCK (mode) || S_ISFIFO(mode)) {
113 /* this variable is not ignored by Linux 2.6. */
114 dev = 0;
115 }
116 >-------return mknod(pathname, mode, dev);
117 #else
