Trying to copy from one server (reiserfs) to new server (xfs).  I'm following instructions for starting rsync as a daemon from user WeeboTech.  The rsync is working, but my source files are root/root for uid/gid, but the destination is getting nobody/users and seems to be failing, presumably trying to chgrp to root.

 

That is, I'm getting rsync failed: Operation not permitted (1)

 

My /etc/rsyncd.conf file is (from the destination machine):

uid root
gid root
use chroot= no
max connections = 4
pid file= /var/run/rsyncd.pid
timeout 600

[mnt]
path = /mnt
comment = /mnt files
read only = FALSE

 

I'm getting 50-60 MB/sec copies, so I'd like to get this working, but I'm not sure how to either

1) change whatever permissions to allow chgrp to work

2) use the correct uid/gid to start with

3) something else I haven't thought of?

 

Here's my rsync command from the source machine:

rsync -av --stats --progress /mnt/user/Media/BluRay/5* rsync://<dest ip>/mnt/disk1/BluRay/

 

thanks for any help that can be provided.

 

[edit] This is with unRAID 6 beta 9.  If someone can move it, that would be great.  Sorry. [/edit]

 

Try this:

rsync -avH --timeout=120 --progress --delete /mnt/user/Media/BluRay/5*/ <dest ip>::mnt/disk1/BluRay/

 

Did you edit that inetd file on the destination?
