Restrict file access to append only
I have a directory with log files and I’m putting
logs from script launched by users into them. Logging with syslog doesn’t seem
possible in this case. (non-daemon rsync)
rsync
mv with rsync functionality
I’m trying to merge two directory trees that have many common elements but also each have elements that are only present in one of the two trees. The main issue I am having is that when mv encounters two sub-directories with the same relative paths it either keeps the source (with -f) or the destination (with -n) but I can’t make it take the union of both sub-directories. I could of course use rsync with --remove-source-files but this will actually copy the data and then delete the old files as opposed to a true move. The two directory trees contain several hundred GB of data and are both on same partition so I would love to do a true move if possible for the sake of time.
Why does rsync fail to copy files from /sys in Linux?
I have a bash script which uses rsync to backup files in Archlinux. I noticed that rsync failed to copy a file from /sys, while cp worked just fine:
Copy only directories with .mp3 files with rsync
I’m trying to copy only folders with .mp3 files in them to another device. And only the .mp3s in them.
The structure looks like this:
Understanding the output of –info=progress2 from rsync
If I run rsync with --info=progress2, I get an output like
Preserve the permissions with rsync
Let’s say I have a file a.txt in LINUX with permission of 0664.
When I use rsync to copy the file to my Mac with rsync -r -t -v LINUX MAC, the file’s permission becomes 0644.
rsync over NFS – inconsistent speed
I’m transferring about 9TB across my gigabit LAN. To do so as quickly as possible (i hope) I mounted the destination via NFS on the source and ran rsync across it.
rsync and xfr#1, to-chk=0/1, what do they mean?
I do stuff such as :- $ copy debian-8.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /media/shirish/4719-38E5/ Copy here is an alias for :- $ alias copy alias copy='rsync –progress -ravz' When it does the command it takes a long time to complete and does :- $ copy debian-8.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /media/shirish/4719-38E5/ sending incremental file list debian-8.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso 3,607,855,104 100% 9.11MB/s 0:06:17 (xfr#1, to-chk=0/1) sent … Read more
