rsync error code 12 at phase "unknown"
Any suggestions on tracking this problem down? We've had it happen on a few machines -- some through VPN's, one from a Mac OS X to a Linux machine on the local network. Some machines never have this problem. We think it's a hiccup in the network connection -- but it's very minor. We've setup pings and tracked the data sent through the interface and have never seen it drop below 300 bytes / 5 second slice (so we know the connection isn't crashing down on us -- besides, the retry should catch it.) I have checked the usual culprits and think my next step is to wade into the code (disk space good, timeouts virtually nonexistent, cpu load low, lots of free memory, etc.) The phase shows unknown, and the call in io.c is simply a write function -- any suggestions on back tracking to find what is calling the write? Maybe we can restart the phase that's failing (kind of like transaction framing for sql -- perform a commit/rollback operation.) It works great, just seems vulnerable to a lost packet somewhere.

It has several fixes installed for compression problems.

excluding subdirectories
How can I exclude a list of subdirectories from a file system tree? Do you recommend ... a) to use the --exclude option and try to match the patterns b) to use the --exclude-from option to exclude anything this file contains c) something else I do not think of?

--password-file=
I am moving from an anonymous rsync setup to a password protected rsync setup. I have my module involved in the test configured to auth only for one user. The secrets file is working just fine for I have tested it. Before I decided to go with a password protected setup, I had a script that cron ran every night at 2 am. worked like a charm. I added the --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets argument to the script and it says "AUTH FAILED FOR MODULE XXX". So I ran the command without that argument and it prompted me for a password. I gave the password that is in the secrets file and it proceeded. I can post the config files if it would help. Secrets file is readable only by root I am on the client, connecting to the rsync server running in --daemon mode. -- Clint Boggio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The "secrets file" and the --password-file have different formats. You cannot use the same file for both. -- J.W.

password file
Ahhh yes silly me. Toying around with it I came to that conclusion. Specifying the secrets file as the source of the password was my problem. I created a file on the local machine and put the password in there just as plain as could be. I made it readable only for root. Then I ran the command and it worked like a charm. Now I am off to figure out a way to make each module log to a different logfile. If I knew anything about code I would add an option to read a file to gather the source of the archive like tar -t. Thank you very much for your help. I will hang around and see if I can help somebody with this powerfull tool.

Using rsync to mirror FTP servers
Hi, I have two different FTP servers that I'd like to always have the same content. The problem is that there isn't one "primary" server that can push or pull the content from other server -- they both always have to have the same content and files can be added or deleted from either. Is there a way to use rsync to determine whether a file on one server should be added to the remote, or deleted from the local? Maybe there's another application that can manage something like this? I'm thinking this is probably something for "find -newer" and managing a list of files and comparing them on each side before deleting/adding? Thanks, Fred __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Rsync is a one-way tool, for something like what you have in mind, I would look at Unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ It's free/GPL and even works on Win32 systems. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
