Simple config question

2000-10-30 Thread john
Having a bit of trouble understanding the "exclude" option for the rsyncd daemon Does my example below exclude the /proc /dev /mnt and /progs from the root directory "/" or would it also exclude a directory of the same name if it is within the tree I want to back up? rsync -ca --delete --exclu

Re: why are things copying?

Hi folks; thanks for the responses. I figured out the problem. My arguments to rsync were causing the remote tree to be reconstructed one level down from where I wanted it to go, which obviously caused all the files to be sent over. Because I was using -n just to see what would happen, so no ac

I agree with Martin Pool's diagnosis about --times, or --archive which includes it along with many other options. If some of the systems can't represent file mod times to the same resolution, the --modify-window option may be helpful as well. If you don't care to update timestamps, you can use --

Instead of making up some hashing key-generation method, please look at RFC2104 "HMAC" (and the six or seven followup rfc's on specific instantiations.) Also, for rsync, I don't see why you'd particularly want a stream cipher (it isn't interactive, you have "large" packets to work with) and I mig

Blocksize patch

2000-10-30 Thread Brian Graham
While doing some testing I noticed that you can't set the blocksize to 700 on large files in rsync-2.4.6. I have attached a patch that adds a variable that is set when the blocksize is specified rather that just testing whether it is not equal to the default setting. Brian -- "...and that's
