Feature request: case insensitivity

I sync files to a memory stick fairly frequently. The memory stick uses a basic FAT format, which kills case. What's more, on some platforms (Windows), the drivers make all filenames uppercase, whereas on others (linux, mac) all the filenames are lowercase. So I currently have a script which

Re: File walking issue?

I assume - the remote server is Win2K - the remote server does not have an rsync daemon - the remote server is accessed using Samba The problem, I reckon, is that your entire set of files is being dragged across the network to the local machine during the "building file list" before it properly g

Is there anything noticeably different, network-wise, about this RH box from the others? Different network card, different subnet, etc? Can your other *nix machines sync from this particular Win2K smb filesystem fine? Can the problem child *nix box sync to your other *nix boxen fine? I'm h

Re: File walking issue?

Max - what is the OS of the machine you're using to access the Win2K SMB share from? I ask because the reference implementation of Samba - ie, the ftp-alike smbclient - works just dandy under every OS I've looked at, but the kernel implementation of smbfs under FreeBSD (and possibly other BSDs

File walking issue?

Hello, I'm having an issue with one particular server and am hoping someone here has dealt with this. I'm not sure whether this is a strictly samba issue or relates to the way rsync walks the file list. Basically after mounting a Windows 2000 file system using and then rsyncing the cont

[patch] Add `--link-by-hash' option (rev 2).

This patch adds the --link-by-hash=DIR option, which hard links received files in a link farm arranged by MD4 file hash. The result is that the system will only store one copy of the unique contents of each file, regardless of the file's name. (rev 2) * This revision is actually against CVS HEAD

FAQ: Moving files between two machines using rsync

Easy rsync question: to try to learn a bit of rsync, I am setting up katri (netbsd box) as my rsync server (where I would sync to) and kushana (Solaris 9 box) as the machine I will be syncing from. BTW, both are in my LAN and their respective /etc/hosts know their names, with or withoug t

rsync ...Client-Server architecture

Hi All, I am in the design phase of rsync client-server solution. I would like to know what are the key things to keep a check. This design is to transfer files from a server outside the network into a server machine in my network. (OS- Solaris) Both the client and server are Solaris boxes...
