Hello, I'm trying to rsync files between two servers(rsync is installed on both servers) with the command /opt/swe/tools/ext/rsync-3.1.0/i386-solaris2.10/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/opt/alct/bin/rsync -e "ssh -l ****" --delete --delete-after --stats -uvazhiH /opt/swe/install/tools/ 1.0.0.0:/opt/swe/install/tools_freeware/ Password: With the following output: building file list ... done .d..t...... ./ *deleting file1 *deleting file2.log *deleting file3 Number of files: 4 (reg: 3, dir: 1) Number of created files: 0 Number of regular files transferred: 0 Total file size: 1.08M bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 0 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 133 Total bytes received: 18 sent 133 bytes received 18 bytes 33.56 bytes/sec total size is 1.08M speedup is 7,165.49 As you can see it doesn't display "Number of deleted files". If I realize synchronization only on one server /opt/swe/tools/ext/rsync-3.1.0/i386-solaris2.10/bin/rsync -uvazhiH --delete --delete-after --stats -e "ssh -l ****" /opt/swe/install/tools/ /opt/swe/install/files/ the output is building file list ... done .d..t...... ./ *deleting file1.txt *deleting file2 *deleting file3.log *deleting file4.txt *deleting file5.log *deleting file6 *deleting file7 Number of files: 4 (reg: 3, dir: 1) Number of created files: 0 Number of deleted files: 7 (reg: 7) Number of regular files transferred: 0 Total file size: 1.08M bytes Total transferred file size: 0 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 0 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 125 Total bytes received: 18 sent 125 bytes received 18 bytes 286.00 bytes/sec total size is 1.08M speedup is 7,566.36 Synchronization is performed correctly in both cases, but the output message in case of synchronizing files between two servers it`s wrong(doesn't display "Number of deleted files"). Kindly consider that it's a very important issue. Looking forward to any suggestion or advices. Best Regards, Irina CURERARU
ssh user@1.0.0.0 /opt/alct/bin/rsync --version If the remote version isn't also 3.1.0 then it does not have the #files deleted feature in --stats. If rsync sees an older version on the remote then it acts like the older version to preserve compatibility. Also btw, you can drop the entire -e "ssh -l username" and instead just use username@1.0.0.0:/opt/swe/install/tools_freeware/
Yeah, rsync can't output that line if an older rsync is being used on one end of the transfer. This is because the stats values being communicated from the generator -> sender -> receiver don't have that value in an older protocol.
