File Locking

of rsync running and without file locking, the additional copies simply retry to upload/download a file that a previous copy is already working on. What I am hoping for is a way for rsync to notice that the file is already being copied and therefore move on to the next file. I found

for the idea but I sometimes need more than one copy to run at the same time so that won't work. File locking is about the only option I can see. If you need to run more than one rsync over the same tree at the same time, you may need to rethink your tree layout and/or your approach to whatever

File locking for simultaneous rsync sessions

2008-02-14 Thread Andrew Culver
Hello all, I have two web servers both mounting the same file system (with GFS). I have a third web server which is independent from the first two, using only its own local file systems. I need to mirror a directory within the shared file system on the first two web servers to the local file

in into rsync to prevent this from happening? Rsync does no file locking. Multiple rsync processes writing concurrently to the destination generally won't make a terrible mess since each process updates a file by writing the new data to a temporary file and moving it over the original

What about using some staging logic if you have enough disk space and can introduce the logic required into your system : 1. Keep two copies of your files on your live servers: FEED-A and FEED-B 2. Initialization a. rsync FEED-A and FEED-B with the preview server content b. Select

Does anyone know of a way this locking can be overridden ? - is it possible to 'force' updates ? it is important that all live servers have identical filesystems. I doubt it. Windows Filing system doesn't work that way. You can buy open file managers. But these are designed to allow a file
