Thanks! My situation is for syncing web servers. Like I said, I have used it to do a 1-way sync. (you make changes to 1 server, and rsync keeps the rest looking the same) But we are developing some sites that allow users to upload files. And I need rsync to if a user uploads a file to one of t

Yes, at MIT we mount the backup volume as "OldFiles" in the user's homedir. Causes some confusion but far less than the load of actually doing tape restores would be...) The actual cloning is *sometimes* user visible in that starting certain operations will get delayed until the cloning finishes

Bi-Directional rsync

I have been running rsync on a number of my servers for quite a while, but up until now, I have only been doing a 1-way rsync. (ie: 1 server is always the master/original and the rest are only slaves) I have searched high and low and cannot find any information about using rsync to do a Bi-Dire

I like your debug detail and methodology. I have the same problem with 2.4.6. I'm running 2.3.2 now and it doesn't have this 'hang' problem. I think there is something still not quite right in 2.4.6. eric Simon Lai wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm using rsync to keep two local 30G disk partitio

Newbie question - rsync pauses after 500 - 800 files

2000-10-13 Thread Simon Lai
Hi, I'm using rsync to keep two local 30G disk partitions, in sync. This *use to* work fine, but now rsync stops after 500 - 800 files. Some environmental info follows, some of this may be superfluous, but maybe not .. ** Warning - long lines ahead OS : FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE ad2: 29188MB [5930
