Hey all, I'm writing a tool:

It is very similar in some ways to rsync, except it's meant for backing up
locally to removable HDDs, and it keeps metadata around when the HDD is
removed.
I figured I'd ping people here to see if they are interested in

I often push files from my user account over SSH to my web server, and
want them owned by www-user, which may not have a login shell, should
never accept remote logins, and who may not have a ~/.ssh directory
(and if it did, it would be under the wwwroot, ack!).
Currently I push as root and then d

the group ends up wrong because it's not supposed to be
Just curious if the protocol sends a request and waits for a response,
or whether it can multiplex multiple requests on a single connection.
This could improve performance over high latency links, if a lot of
time is spent waiting for the response (i.e. when the hashes match).

Oh, and if it buffers requests sent to its STDIN, that's fine.
To actually complete requests in parallel, you'd need a multithread or
multiprocess app, and that's complicated.
The proper term for what I'm suggesting is probably "pipelining".

Anyone know what this is supposed to mean?
366305 files to consider
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
I keep getting this, and so it refuses to delete any files from a mirror.
But what is the supposed I/O error?
Can we have it give us some kind of clue?
