rsync hard link problems
Hi, I'm having difficulty using rsync to synchronize hard-linked files. In some cases, it seems to transfer a hard-linked file again even though the one of the other hard-linked files has already been copied. I looked through the FAQ, but didn't see this listed anywhere. I'm working on a 2.2.16 linux machine. I have rsync version 2.4.1. Here's a shell script that illustrates the problem: - begin script #!/bin/sh sdir=~/tmp/foo dhost=ptdlr2828 ddir=~/tmp/foo_r # create source files # - they're all hard linked to each other rm $sdir/[123]bar mkdir -p $sdir rsh $dhost mkdir -p $ddir rsh $dhost rm $ddir/[123]bar ls -l / >$sdir/1bar ln $sdir/1bar $sdir/2bar ln $sdir/1bar $sdir/3bar # Start by pushing the 'middle' file to dest rsync -aH $sdir/2bar $dhost:$ddir # Sync different combinations of files and see what # gets transferred. # These send 1bar across even though it doesn't need to # be sent. Seems incorrect to me. # - cmd line order doesn't seem to matter cmd1="rsync -aHv $sdir/1bar $sdir/2bar $dhost:$ddir" cmd2="rsync -aHv $sdir/2bar $sdir/1bar $dhost:$ddir" echo "===" echo $cmd1 $cmd1 rsh $dhost rm $ddir/1bar echo "--" echo $cmd2 $cmd2 # These don't send 3bar across. Seems correct. # - again, cmd line order doesn't seem to matter cmd1="rsync -aHv $sdir/2bar $sdir/3bar $dhost:$ddir" cmd2="rsync -aHv $sdir/3bar $sdir/2bar $dhost:$ddir" echo "===" echo $cmd1 $cmd1 rsh $dhost rm $ddir/3bar echo "--" echo $cmd2 $cmd2 - end script The *end* result is always correct, but in the first case, 1bar gets sent across, but in the second case 3bar is not sent. It seems to have to do with the fact that 1 comes before 2 and 3 comes after 2. I want to use rsync to transfer large trees of files with lots of hard links in them. My plan is to start with one or two directories in the tree, then expand to cover more and eventually all. Obviously if I just started by copying all the files at once, it would be ok, but that's not currently an option. Anyone out there know what's going wrong? Can I do something different to fix it? Is it a bug? Thanks! Sarah Tisdale __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
LFS support on AIX 4.3.3
I've installed rsync 2.4.6 on 2 DEC Alphas and 1 IBM RS/6000. I need to transfer some files that are > 2.5GB. Everything works find between the DECs, but not with the IBM. On the IBM, I have a problem with files over 2GB. I have successfully concatenated several files into 1 file approx 2.5GB, so there should be not filesystem or ulimit problems. I used IBM C for AIX, V5 to compile it. Can anyone tell me how to compile rsync to handle files over 2GB on the IBM?

Re: rsync Logging
Use the --log-format=FORMAT option. It's explained in the rsyncd.conf man page. Speaking of rsyncd.conf, rsync run as daemon logs to a configurable syslog facility. If you need to get plain rsh/ssh-transported rsync to syslog, you'll have to feed the output to logger or a similar utility.

All seems to be very good except for the logging capabilities. I can see how to get a basic log entry on stdout but how can I get this sent to syslog in the appropriate format? Also, does rsync log errors in the same format, eg if it fails to transfer a file to the remote server? And lastly, when creating a log entry, it displays a literal %h and %a rather than the actual hostname and IP address of the remote server. Any help is much appreciated. Regards Brian
