Hi I would like to ask, when the "vanished files" warning is a sign that something bad is happening somewhere. I know that the `rsync-no-vanished` script can silence the warning, but I am wondering whether this is a sane thing to do.
My guess based on https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3653#c26 and https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10356 is that it's fine, but I'd like to verify :) In my case, I have a batch process that creates ~500 files, some take 30 min, some take 8h to be created. The files are created in a tmp dir and are moved to a final dir when they are finished. Every 5 mins, I rsync the files from the final directory to a remote machine. I guess that during the sync process some files get re-written, when the batch process moves the fresh ones in the final dir. My cron entry: flock -xn /lock_file -c \ "/usr/bin/rsync -e \"ssh -C\" --bwlimit=512k \ --recursive --delay-updates --quiet --update \ --include=\"*/\" --include=\"*.xml\" --include=\"*.csv\" \ --exclude=\"*\" \ /LOCAL_SOURCE_DIR/ REMOTE_IP:/DEST_DIR/" Both source and destination are on $ rsync --version rsync version 3.1.0 protocol version 31 Regards Vangelis -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
