Re: Sorry to waste your time - I will stop using rsync

2002-09-09 Thread Ph. Marek
If that's any help, I've had (and still have) some problems using the Intel 845 Motherboards (with eepro100 - chip 88562 on board). They keep crashing, and that normally shows with rsync over ssh. (Although they sometimes crash without doing anything). I already found http://www.scyld.

PATCH: fix incorrect total_size value

2002-09-09 Thread Gary Fernandez
I noticed that when doing rsync, sometimes the sizes reported seemed outrageously large. It turned out that rsync was trying to add the st_size field for non-regular files. Often this field is -1 (at least for device files). Here's the patch: *** patch starts *** *** flist.c@@/main/original/1 Tu

[PATCH] change rsync to allow root operations if setuid

2002-09-09 Thread Gary Fernandez
I made some changes to rsync so that it would recognize it was running as root when run as a setuid root program. This allows the same operations as when running as root (preserving ownership, for example). I've attached the diffs. *** patch follows *** *** main.c@@/main/original/1 Tue Apr 9 1
