August 11, 200718 yr This is somewhat off-topic... I'm trying to use rsync from my Mac to my unRAID server. The problem appears when I use the --link-dest option during my backup, which creates hard links in order to save space on the drive for unmodified files. I'm somewhat randomly getting errors of this sort: rsync: stat "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: open "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM/_LastSyncCache" (in Backups): No such file or directory (2) rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM/_Photos & Videos_" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: stat "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM/_Photos & Videos_" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM/_T-Mobile Hotspots_images_" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: stat "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/DCIM/_T-Mobile Hotspots_images_" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: stat "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/SplashPhoto" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: open "/coppit/0/Palm/Users/David Coppit/SplashPhoto/E75FFB6FBF98B52F/SplashPhoto/_LastSyncCache" (in Backups): No such file or directory (2) rsync: stat "/coppit/0/Personal/Taxes/2002/TaxACT Online_files" (in Backups) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: open "/coppit/0/Personal/Taxes/2002/TaxACT Online_files/main_app.css" (in Backups): No such file or directory (2) If I remove --link-dest, I don't get the errors. Also, the messages all seem to involve paths with spaces in them. It seems like on different runs rsync sometimes succeeds without errors, but perhaps I'm not being very careful about deleting the destination directory between runs. Here is my setup in detail: Server: Linux running rsync 2.6.8. rsyncd.conf: gid = root uid = root log file = /var/log/resyncd.log [backups] path = /mnt/disk1/Backups comment = read only = no list = yes Client: Mac OS X running rsync 2.6.3. (The problem also exists for 2.6.0) My command line is: /usr/bin/rsync --archive --force --compress --one-file-system --cvs-exclude --numeric-ids --link-dest=../1 /Users/coppit/Documents/ rsync://[email protected]/Backups/coppit/0 I'll also submit this as an unRAID bug report since it may be a kernel bug.
