Re: Newbie to rsync

[tim . conway]

Look again.  it's not finding rsync on machine2.  He's doing remote-to-remote, though 
he's on machine2 already.  I've already replied to him in detail, concerning paths and 
rsync syntax/behaviour.  If he fixes the path on machine2 or gives the
--rsync-path= directive, then, he'll rsync to a local directory named machine3:, 
which probably doesn't exist, and certainly isn't what he wants.

 Hi All

 I have compiled rsync on a Solaris 5.5.1 machine1 . I have compiled this
 on a partition on the machine as root.
 I have done the following

 shared the Partition on the machine i have compiled.
 mounted this partition this partition on the machine2 where I need to
 rsync data

 then When I issue the command

 on machine2 as
 rsync -avz machine2:/x  machine3:
 It gives me
 sh :rsync not found
 EOF timeout

 I am surorised at this cos I know that rsync is there on machine2 as a
 mounted partition.
 Any clues.

Looks like it's not finding rsync on machine3.

opendir problem

[Heinz Kahan]

I am trying to run rsync 2.4.6 on Solaris 8 with the following command:

rsync -avr -e /usr/local/bin/ssh --rsync-path=/opt/local/rsync
remote:var/mail /tmp

I am expecting to have all files in server remote/var/mail copied to local
server /temp/var/mail

I get a message opendir(mail): Too many open files (continuous scroll on the
screen)

If I use the same command and explicitly name a file like:

remote:var/mail/filename /tmp

everything works just fine, but I have to explicitly name all files to
transfer, like the -r option does not work

I also tried:

remote:var/mail/ /tmp

This produces a readlink : No such file or directory

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks
