Hi,
I'm trying to make a small script to get rid of Apple's TimeMachine. The aim is
to backup the files of my company.
I setup a MacMini with a lot of storage attached to it. The MacMini connects
every once in a while to our data server (XServe) through SSH and pulls the
files that need to be saved (I'm using the --link-dest option to limit the
amount of files transferred, and to keep several backups).
I've followed Mike Bombich's instructions to compile rsync 3.0.7 with patches
(fileflags, crtimes, crtimes-64bit, crtimes-hfs+ and hfs_compression) on both
machines. I'm running the script as root with the following options (which are
supposed to do the work) :
-aNHAXx --fileflags --force-change --protect-decmpfs --numeric-ids
The script works pretty fine except for one thing. When rsync builds the file
list, I get hundred of errors such as :
rsync: get_xattr_names: llistxattr("some/path/here",1024) failed: No such
file or directory (2)
Please notice that these errors don't appear if I'm not using the --link-dest
option or if the linked-dest-directory doesn't exist (first backup).
Also, "some/path/here" does exist on both side.
I've read some doc about this error but it doesn't seem to fit my case and I'm
kinda stuck with it. It doesn't seem to be a serious issue but I'd like to be
sure about it and know if there is a way to get rid of them.
Do you guys have any clue of what's going wrong or what I may doing wrong ?
Thanks a lot !
