------- Comment #5 from b...@rodovid.org 2010-07-14 06:16 CST ------- (In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=5844) --> (https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=5844&action=view) [details] > Original design document > > The link in comment #0 is long since broken. For reference, I'm attaching the > design document that was previously there. > Thank you, Matt, it is just more than my proposal ))) To the purpose: 1) the main point is that the last-sync-time===check-point must be created BEFORE the synchronization process. So the deletion during the update will be synchronized next time. In other cases we will have "mysteriously coming back" deletions (that occur during update). 2) --smart-orphans option is ambiguous and even dangerous: a) last-sync-time is equal check-point + dry-run b) last-sync-time + smart-orphans is equal check-point VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: never increase the check-point value during any dry-runs, never increase check-point value if synchronization is not finished without errors - many new files will be deleted instead of being added. For the details look at bash wrapper attached to bug 7565. Also see notes at my PS for avoiding running rcync twice. In my situation updating with small changes takes 3 - 5 minutes for 300MB. And this is just a testcase, I'm going to mirror ~10G. Additional check must be added before moving tmp file to the original position, because the file at the original position can be updated or deleted during the long receiving, so it will be newer than received or not needed already. By the way, at first run check_point can be 0 (zero), which means that no deletions occur. Just no-exists files will be added to another side. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
