RE: some errors

[Tony Abernethy]

/sys  ( also /proc , probably others ) some things that looks like directories and files, do not make sense to copy to another computer. generally, these give some kind of access to running kernel-type things. I think some of these "files" are write-only  or would give information about some hardware (if you had the hardware)   also some things like /dev/zero or /dev/null   (anything in /dev, probably) needs special handling.   /mnt/  tends to catch anything mounted  (like CDs and stuff)   # mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Manuel Kissoyan Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 11:13 AM To: rsync list Subject: some errors Just wondering what could cause the following errors:   rsync: read errors mapping "/sys/block/loop4/dev": No data available (61)   rsync: send_files failed to open "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/Promise_Old_IDE/new_id": Permission denied (13)   ERROR: sys/block/ram2/stat failed verification -- update retained. rsync: read errors mapping "/sys/block/ram2/stat": No data available (61)   Thank you in advance!
