I am having trouble with rsync when I am trying to synchronize a Windows NT volume mounted with smb_fs (FreeBSD) and a unix volume which is also exported with Samba. There are instances where the DOS short name on the NT volume ends up as upper case and then doesn't match filenames which are used

Error handling with rsync

2002-04-18 Thread Otto Wyss
Since I uses rsync in a perl script I'd rather prefer to get error codes from rsync instead of messages at STDOUT. Is there an option which tells rsync it should return error codes? Is this possible or do I ask something ridiculous? How is the error handling done when rsync can't download a file?

Oh. Now i feel like an *enlightened* idiot. I 've always thought of a checksum, crc, or whatever as giving 1/2^^length certainty, and I have a sense that that knowing the file length adds another amount of certainty, though I can't quantify that. I just know that if the size doesn't match,

Okay, here is the problem as I see it: The algorithm is deterministic - know exactly what it will do next and what conditions are present at any given point in time. The overall result is not. It is probabilitic, and the probalilities are 1:2^128 or something of that order, but still, there is
