SUMMARY:rsync in daemon mode (::) producing errors

2012-10-07 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
HI all,

Thanks to all who responded to my email and question. Thanks also to those
who did not.

The solution was to use -e ssh -l root -c arcfour to do the actual
transfer.so that rsyncd on one host is not talking to rsyncd on the
other host directly, rather ssh is being used  for the actual transfer.

Thanks again. I appreciate it.

rsync in daemon mode, no lock file generated

2012-09-14 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
We are running rsync in daemon mode (::) (two colons), and in
/etc.rsyncd.conf there is a lock file specified:
log file = /var/adm/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock


But I do not see the lock file...

Huge rsyncd.log file - what do I grep for to debug rscync failures

2012-09-06 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
Hi,

-rw-r--r--   1 root other5291457346 Sep  6 13:44 rsyncd.log

what pattern should I grep for to send you guys more information on rsync
failures (server side)


Client side messages are:
rsync of /oradb/d10 appeared to complete with NON-NOMINAL
  status (rc=12) at Thu Sep  6 07:33:58 PDT 2012
  with the following files reported in output:


receiving incremental file list
HR8PRD/temp1_02.dbf
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (131)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(759)
[receiver=3.0.6]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (88 bytes received so far) [generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600)
[generator=3.0.6]



errors are being generated ONLY on sparse files I had put in the --sparse
switch, now trying with the -avS options










Thank you

we have about 60 directories that rsync fine

2012-08-30 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
issue is with 3 directories. Is it possible that some files in those
directories are open, being written to etc that causes the issue?

connection reset by peer is the message we get. This is rsync in daemon
mode on TCP port 873

Destination file is larger than source file

2012-08-29 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
We are using the standard -av switch. And both filesystems are the same -
UFS.


 /opt/rsync/bin/rsync -av  -e ssh -l root --delete
--exclude-from=/var/scripts/exclude
--password-file=/var/scripts/transfer.passwd username@source
host::source dir/ /destination dir


Source system

source host:source dir# du -sh *
   1K   nohup.out
  20G   file1.dbf
 3.9G   file2.dbf
 7.6G   file3.dbf
   1K   x1
   1K   x2

Destination system

bash-3.00# du -sh *
   1K   nohup.out
  20G   file1.dbf
  16G   file2.dbf
 7.6G   file3.dbf

weird rsync issue

2012-08-21 Thread Dariusz Dolecki
rsync fails on some directories while on others it works without issue.

Here are the inportant items:

On theserver from which directories are being copied:

more /etc/rsyncd.conf
snip
[abcd]
   path = /xyz/abcd
   comment = abcd   uid = 0
   gid = 3
   read only = yes
   list = no
   auth users = test-abcd
   secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.passwd
   strict modes = true
   hosts allow = IP
   refuse options = delete*
   transfer logging = true

snip

tail -f  /var/adm/rsyncd.log
2012/08/21 14:10:31 [15544] connect from hostname (IP)
2012/08/21 14:10:36 [15544] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (22 bytes

stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]

ON the client to which directories are being copied to:

The command being run is:

/opt/rsync/bin/rsync -av --delete --exclude-from=/var/scripts/path to
dir.exclude test-abcd@server name::abcd/data/  /dir/data

and it prompts for a password, ssh has been setup for passwordless
passthrough for root
