Tim, Thanks for the thought, but I did all that back at the start of September when I first posted all the gory details up. Rsync, if it worked reliably, would be the perfect tool for the job. ..Trevor.. At 01:03 PM 9/17/2002 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >I'm sure your system is fine. What

Bug Report rsync 2.5.5 --delete and soft links to parent directories causes MAXSYMLINKS error

2002-09-17 Thread Kevin Earls
I have found an unwanted feature of rsync 2.5.5. It has to do with soft links and the --delete option in archive mode. The following shows how to reproduce the error. Provide a soft link that refers to a parent directory. %> /bin/ls -lR /tmp/src /tmp/src: total 16 16 drwxrwxr-x 2 wke

Thanks, That worked without modification. I didn't think rsync would be case sensitive on the windows file system as it doesn't care which case is used when specifying the source directory on the command line... Bjorn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I'm sure your system is fine. What about the rsync, though? If it's still 2.4.6, you're not getting anywhere. Get the source from http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.5.5.tar.gz untargz it somewhere, and in the directory it creates, which will be named "rsync-2.5.5", type "./configure ;

Certainly, you should upgrade your rsync. 2.4.6 had more than its share of problems. 2.5.5 is generating few complaints. As far as what's actually happening to you, if it continues after the upgrade, give us another run with more "v"s. Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303.682.4917 office, 303.9

Most commonly, such an error means that the path line for the module in question is invalid. Sometimes, it means the server system doesn't support chroot. check your rsyncd.conf, first. Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303.682.4917 office, 303.921.0301 cell Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880
