Dear experts,
I would like get your help for the issue with --partial-dir=*absolute path.* I’m trying to use rsync to send big file to server and config --partial-dir=*absolute path* since I want to store temp partial file in /tmp/ directory and keep the destination folder clear. My server is joe28, client is joe27. And here is the config on server. root@joe28:~# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf # Global settings address = 10.148.34.28 numeric ids = yes uid = 0 read only = no reverse lookup = no dont compress = * timeout = 10 [JOE] path = /home/joe/rsync comment = Joe's rsync test Sending big file from joe27 to joe28: root@joe27:~# ls -l /home/joe/rsync/flash_image -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 766028824 Aug 15 15:23 /home/joe/rsync/flash_image root@joe27:~# rsync -a --delete --delay-updates --no-relative --partial-dir=/tmp /home/joe/rsync/ rsync://10.148.34.28:873/JOE -P building file list ... 2 files to consider ./ flash_image 766028824 100% 108.69MB/s 0:00:06 (xfer#1, to-check=0/2) sent 766122429 bytes received 30 bytes 61289796.72 bytes/sec total size is 766028824 speedup is 1.00 However, I still see the partial file in the local directory, but not in /tmp which I configured. root@joe28:~# watch --interval=1 ls -al /home/joe/rsync/ /tmp/flash* Every 1.0s: ls -al /home/joe/rsync/ /tmp/flash* Tue Aug 15 15:35:55 2017 ls: cannot access /tmp/flash*: No such file or directory /home/joe/rsync/: total 77064 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 15:35 . drwxr-xr-x 32 joe joe 4096 Aug 15 15:01 .. -rw------- 1 root nogroup 78905344 Aug 15 15:35 .flash_image.xlIBqo And finally I saw the “tmp” folder is created on server. That is not my expected. Every 1.0s: ls -al /home/joe/rsync/ /tmp/flash* Tue Aug 15 15:36:05 2017 ls: cannot access /tmp/flash*: No such file or directory /home/joe/rsync/: total 748092 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 15:14 . drwxr-xr-x 32 joe joe 4096 Aug 15 15:01 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 766028824 Aug 15 15:23 flash_image drwx------ 2 root nogroup 4096 Aug 15 15:36 tmp Would you please give some suggestions? Appreciate the help! BTW. I tried with --temp-dir but same result. Rsync version is 3.1.2. Regards, -Joe
