We use rsync on an embedded powerpc 32bit target. for one transfer rsync shows: rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] but afaik there are no errors, this is what -vvv shows: # /mountedisd/bin/rsync -azvvvv --delete /flashfs/var/log/ main2_mmlan::log opening tcp connection to main2_mmlan port 873 note: iconv_open("ANSI_X3.4-1968", "ANSI_X3.4-1968") succeeded. sending daemon args: --server -vvvvlogDtprze.isf --delete . log/ (Client) Protocol versions: remote=30, negotiated=30 sending incremental file list [sender] make_file(.,*,0) [sender] make_file(guilog,*,2) [sender] make_file(alilog.0,*,2) [sender] make_file(messages,*,2) [sender] make_file(messages.0,*,2) [sender] make_file(alilog,*,2) [sender] make_file(guilog.0,*,2) [sender] flist start=1, used=7, low=0, high=6 [sender] i=1 /flashfs/var/log ./ mode=040755 len=576 uid=0 gid=0 flags=5 [sender] i=2 /flashfs/var/log alilog mode=0100644 len=36864 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 [sender] i=3 /flashfs/var/log alilog.0 mode=0100644 len=0 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 [sender] i=4 /flashfs/var/log guilog mode=0100666 len=5352 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 [sender] i=5 /flashfs/var/log guilog.0 mode=0100644 len=0 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 [sender] i=6 /flashfs/var/log messages mode=0100644 len=193078 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 [sender] i=7 /flashfs/var/log messages.0 mode=0100644 len=230549 uid=0 gid=0 flags=0 send_file_list done file list sent send_files starting skipping daemon-excluded file "messages" skipping daemon-excluded file "messages.0" send_files phase=1 send_files phase=2 send files finished total: matches=0 hash_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 sent 127 bytes received 8 bytes 270.00 bytes/sec total size is 465843 speedup is 3450.69 [sender] _exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=1042): entered rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] [sender] _exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=1042): about to call exit(23) If it's needed I can enable any debug/trace option, just tell me.
(In reply to comment #0) > skipping daemon-excluded file "messages" > skipping daemon-excluded file "messages.0" Here's your error. The client wanted to push those files, but the daemon refused to accept them. Granted, the wording of the message could be improved to make it look more like an error.
aha! I tried many things to avoid the error, but forgot to try the rsync option --exclude messages* thanks for the quick response! and btw. rsync is great (we used to do this with busybox tftp)
Errors will be more error-like in 3.0.9.
