Hello, I'm setting up a system for automated synchronization and backup between different macs (OS X Lion 10.7). I use HFS+ Journaled as filesystem. I wanted to follow these guidelines: http://www.bombich.com/rsync.html but I gave a look inside the patches Mr. Bombich suggested and I thought I could try first by using only the normal ones provided by rsync.samba.org, so I skipped
curl -o patches/hfs_compression.diff http://www.bombich.com/software/opensource/rsync_3.0.7-hfs_compression_20100701.diff curl -o patches/crtimes-64bit.diff https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=5288 curl -o patches/crtimes-hfs+.diff https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=5966 and I used only patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff plus the stock one instead of the custom one: patch -p1 <patches/hfs-compression.diff I checked the resulting binary with the improved backup bouncer test suite http://www.bombich.com/groups/ccc/wiki/7ba51/Improvements_to_Backup_Bouncer.html and it passes all the tests except the one with the hard links, so I think my choice was more or less correct: the crtimes and hfs_compression patches suggested seem not to be required with 3.0.9. Concerning the hard links error, however, I don't know what to do, since I'm not good enough with programming to tinker with the rsync internals. More specifically, backup bouncer test suite performs these actions: echo "testing 1 2 3" > some-file ln ./some-file link1 ln ./some-file link2 ln ./link1 link3 touch locked_link_source ln locked_link_source locked_link_target chflags uchg locked_link_source My rsync binary fails to copy the "locked_link_source" file, all the others are fine. The error I get is: rsync: link "/Volumes/Dst/20-rsync-309-patches/20-hardlinks/locked_link_source" => 20-hardlinks/locked_link_target failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1122) [sender=3.0.9] Needless to say, I was running rsync as root. Could someone please help me solving this issue? I looked in the archives but what I found concerning the error 23 doesn't seem to apply to my case.
