Rsync forwarding using Balance/Jumpgate hanging on large directories

2004-09-10 Thread Bachmeier, Marc
I've got a puzzling issue, thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. We have two machines that are synchronizing directories one way - the data files are being pushed from the source to the destination. On the destination system, I have multiple (6) modules set up to receive

which files were newer and not transferred?

2004-09-10 Thread Ian! D. Allen
I almost always use "-u" with rsync so that I don't overwrite remote files that have changed. The only way to get rsync to tell me which remote files are "newer" is to use a double-v (-vv), which produces way more output than I care to see. (In true Unix fashion, I don't care to see what was done

I am needing to know what files were transferred.  However in the log it is not showing me.  I am only getting the --status log section at the end. Here is my command: ${RSYNC} -a --delete -vv -z --stats ${SOURCE}/ ${BASEDIR}${SVR}/${BUID}/ >> ${LOG}/${BUID}_${DATE}.txt now one would thin

I'm using 2.6.3pre1 to transfer a rather large Debian archive (126GB, more than 30 million files). It contains about 450 daily snapshots, where unchanged files are hardlinked between the snapshots (so many files have hunderds of links). It's been running for some time now, and I found that while i
