Re: AW: trying to figure out how the --delete option works.

This was the problem. There were some IO errors reading some files from the /proc/ directory, and then rsync won't delete any files at all. From the man: --delete If the sending side detects any IO errors then the deletion of any files at the destination will b

build of 2.5.6 on AIX 4.3.3

Hi, i was using rsync 2.4.5 for AIX 4.3 binary downloaded from http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/binaries/AIX/ . I now compiled the latest 2.5.6 on AIX 4.3.3 and created a tarball to use like the one available from http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/binaries/AIX/ . [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src#

How does rsync send files via Rsh/Rexec?

I'm curious how rsync sends files using rsh/rexec. One method I've seen used is to execute "cat > foo.txt" on the remote machine, and then stream the data over the socket into that cat process. The problem I have with this method, is that the only way to signify an end of file, is to close th

workaround for HFS+'s case-insensitivity?

I am using Mike Rubel's snapshot-style rsync to do backups from my web server (Linux) to my desktop (MacOS X). Mostly, this works great, except where case sensitivity (or rather, HFS+'s semi-lack thereof) causes problems. Specifically, it seems impossible to successfully back up my Linux box's /u

Re: AW: trying to figure out how the --delete option works.

Thank you for your answer, but i'ts not about the excluded files. Sorry if I was unclear about that. This is what the man rsync says about the delete option: "--delete This tells rsync to delete any files on the receiving side that arenÂt on the sending side." (T

Re: Speeding up Transfers of 1000s of files

Rsync works in a very linear fashion. Try running multiple rsyncs in paralell on different directories of course. One speedup would be to transfer the checksums and data asyncronously. I havent checked the source on how this is done but I suspect that even this is done in a very linear way wich ex

rsync over ssh problem

Hi, I have a problem when running rsync over ssh. This might be a ssh problem, but i've only seen it with rsync so far. Every minute I rsync one file to 3 servers, and once in a while, there are stray processes laying around. Like this: Oct23 0:07 /usr/sbin/crond -l10 01:38 0:00 \_ /bin/sh
