Hy, I've a strange problem using rsync version 3.0.6 protocol version 30:
My /etc/rsyncd.conf: --------------------------------------------------- ... [bianco-home] read only = no filter = . /etc/rsync/filter/bianco-home path=/home/bianco/ list = yes use chroot = no auth users = bianco uid= bianco secrets file = /etc/rsync/rsyncd.secrets ... ---------------------------------------------------- and here is the /etc/rsync/filter/bianco-home file: ---------------------------------------------------- P *touch* - /*/ - /.* - */ - * ---------------------------------------------------- So this should filter any file into bianco-home and protect any *thouch* file in the requesting client home (or not?) In my remote client home (to syncronize) I've only a test file called 'atouchs'. On the sender (rsync server) no 'atouchs' file is present. Now from my client : ---------------------------------------------------- $rsync -Sav ${bianco_ip}::bianco-home /home/bianco --delete-after ---------------------------------------------------- and what I get is (password not matter): ---------------------------------------------------- $rsync -Sav ${bianco_ip}::bianco-home /home/bianco --delete-after receiving file list ... done deleting atouchs sent 63 bytes received 115 bytes 50.76 bytes/sec total size is 0 sppedup is 0.00 $ ---------------------------------------------------- So rsync delete the 'atouchs' file!!! why??? NB: doing instead: ---------------------------------------------------- $rsync -Sav -f 'P *touch*' ${bianco_ip}::bianco-home /home/bianco --delete-after receiving file list ... done ./ sent 63 bytes received 115 bytes 50.76 bytes/sec total size is 0 sppedup is 0.00 $ ---------------------------------------------------- File is not deleted! I've tried also: -using an exclude rule -using '--delete' Someone may help me?! What I want ... even the file is present or not into the sender: - do not delete it on the receiver (but delete all the other files not specified into the filter!!! --delete is needed) - ... understand how 'P' rule works ... thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Non sei a casa?
