Rsync: Opendir "/db/pluto/test" Failed: Permission Denied (13)

I am using Rsync to backup files to a another machine, the users on my fileserver do not exist on the backup server so Rsync throws errors about the permissions. It copies the files fine but I want to get rid of the errors and have Rsync ignore the permissions when backing up.

/backup is a mounted ftp directory

Below is the current command and output:
Code:

I tried the flag to adding the no flag to -p but it still didn't work, see below:

hi experts

I am rsyncing a user's home dir across the NFS and the local PC, but when it tries to copy over the hidden files it fails with permission denied. Both dir are owned by the proper user and I am root when I execute the script, so I am not sure what went wrong here.
For example: this is the content and permissions of the source:

-rw------- 1 user test 115 Nov 14 11:28 .bash_history

and here is my error:

rsync: send_files failed to open "/home/user/.bash_history": Permission denied (13)

Thanks

I am trying to write a simple test script that executes a single rsync call. Once I get the syntax right, the script will be expanded to incorporate several rsync instructions to save me time.

I'm using a Cygwin Terminal on Windows 7 to run Rsync.

The script is called "backup" and I call it from the cygwin terminal using "./backup". Have used chmod to make it executable.

When I execute the rsync instruction as a standalone instruction at terminal prompt, the file copies to the target folder perfectly.

However, when I try and drop the same instruction into a script, it copies the file over from it's original file name "mvi_1840.mov" to a file with the name "." -- literally a single period. I can rename the file to a .mov file and it works fine but naturally, I don't want to have to do this.

The one other thing I will mention is that the file is located in the /home/"username" directory in cygwin vs /bin. But I would not think that this would make a difference.

I have pasted the contents of the script file below:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
    rsync.exe -rltDvP --exclude "System Volume Information" --exclude
 "RECYCLER" --exclude=\$RECYCLE.BIN --delete "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>
/desktop/mvi_1840.mov" "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>/desktop/test/"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi all,

I have a system which maps "/var/log" as a "tmpfs" filesystem with a defined size of 32MB.

What will happen to my system if this becomes full? I have a system that is over-logging and writing too much to my "/var/log/messages" file.

For reference, my RAM on the machine is 2GB.

Would this cause the device to power cycle itself?

I tried to install Debian 8 and 7 but I get error message at partitioning stage:

"Failed to create a file system
The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."

After that I couldn't advance further.

I booted from a live Debian and the HardDisk actually shows there with some older files on it.

I tried to install even Windows but from the start it shows the computer doesn't have a Hard Disk Drive so the installation stops right at the start.

Any ideas what is wrong and is there any fix?

I am writing a C# application that reads all the directories and files on my Ubuntu web site and copies the changed files to my eSata drive on my workstation.

This is the code that reads all files and directories in my www folder.

System.IO.DirectoryInfo file1 = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(pathA);
IEnumerable<System.IO.FileInfo> list1 = file1.GetFiles("*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);

This is the error on my workstation accessing the web site after a few minutes.

A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. Additional information: The specified network name is no longer available. f there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

Any ideas on what is causing the network name to not be available. I can see the files on my Windows 7 workstation.

Hi,

First I want to inform you that I'm running a RHEL 6.5 system.

I have some questions about the /etc/login.defs file. Does this file apply to all the users on the system, or does everyone have separate files?

I want to change the PASS_MAX_DAYS value from 99999 to 90 for all users on the system and wonder whats the correct way to do this? I noticed that after I changed this file manually it doesn't work. When typing "chage --list [username]" it shows a completley different value. Also, after managing this file, do I have to restart/reload some daemons or services to make it happen?

Could someone give me some good advice in this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,
I am trying to perform an rsync without a check sum verification at the end of the copy.

I have tried both the -W (whole file) and the --no-checksum option and at the end of both file copies it performs a verification.


Code:

[root@centsrv01 /]# nice -n 20 rsync -avz --no-checksum  --bwlimit=2000 --progress /opt/vidconvert/converted/testfile.mp4 /opt/RouterUSB/TV/ChromeCast/
sending incremental file list
testfile.mp4
  1400440237 100%    1.94MB/s    0:11:28 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)

I am copying from an XFS filesystem to a NTFS (CIFS) file system to a Samba share. Unfortunalty NFS is not an option.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hello I have this problem, but I just ant to know if I am on right track:

Quote:
i_addr is an array of 15 pointers which hold the addresses of a direct data blocks and single indirect, double indirect or triple indirect block.
The first 12 elements of the array refer to addresses of blocks on the disk, which actually contain the files data. When a file requires more than 12 direct blocks, the file system must use disk blocks to hold the addresses of the remaining data blocks needed. These are called indirect blocks. In this particular file system the inode holds the addresses of three indirect data blocks in addition to the 12 direct data blocks discussed. There are single, double and triple indirect data blocks. There is one of each. (in total there are 15 references in the inode). A single indirect block (referenced by element 12 of the inode array) holds the addresses of 2048 disk blocks.
If the file consumes more blocks then can be referenced by a single indirect block then the file system uses a double indirect block. (referenced by element 13 of the inode array). A double indirect block can hold the addresses of 2048 indirect blocks.
If the file consumes more blocks then can be reference by direct, single and double indirect data blocks then the last element of the inode array is used to hold a triple indirect block which effectively references a number of double and single indirect block (ultimately the data).
The Questions I attempted

Quote:
Given the block size of the file system is 8192 bytes answer the following questions:
1. Whatisthemaximumpossiblefilesizethatcanberepresentedviadirectdatablocks?
2. What is the file size if each element of an indirect data blocks references a data block and all direct blocks are used?
3. Whatistherangeoffilesizesthatwouldrequiretheuseofadoubleindirectblock?
4. Whatisthemaximumfilesizeinthisfilesystem?
5. How much overhead is incurred by the file system to store a file of 8437760 bytes.
Overhead is size in bytes of the number of blocks needed to reference this object i.e. indirect blocks etc.
My answers:

Quote:
Answer 1) we know 1 block=8192 bytes, and there are 12 direct data blocks so the max. size is (12*8192) bytes = 98304 bytes.

Answer 2) file size will be = file size in direct data blocks + (2048*8192) = approximately 17 MB

Answer 3) The starting range is > 17 MB. The maximum range will be (2048*8192) + (2048*8192) =

Answer 4) Max size of file in this file system is = 98304+(2048*8192)+(2048*8192)*2+(2048*8192)*3=84.33 MB

Answer 5) We know first 12 blocks have 98304 bytes. The single indirect block has 2048*8192 bytes. Given 8437760 bytes of file size we have an overhead of (2048*8192)/(8437760-98304)= 2 bytes
Please correct me and why am I wrong.

Thanks

I am writing a script to check the log file in /var/log , some files are only read by root , but the script use general user to access the system ( as the system do not accept root to ssh directly ) , therefore , it could not read such files .

Would advise what is the best method to solve this problem , copy the file to a special folder ? allow root to ssh ? create a user with root permission ?

very thanks
