RSYNC problem with windows client

Hi,

rsync v3.0.9 seems to have a problem with windows client (v3.1.1)

Code: Select all
uid 4294967295 (-1) is impossible to set on "/2015-12-21/Fotos/Raw/IMG_6532.CR2" (in gordon)


The file is copied anyway, but the command still ends with an error, making it dificult to know if suceed or not.
Lateste builds of rsync dont have this problem and previous ones didn't also.

Is there a way to update rsync?

Thanks

Hi 2borG,

Thank you for this feedback.

But do you note
Code: Select all
uid 4294967295 (-1)
means no owner on this file? :scratch

Hello,
just for interest: which rsync client /rsync user interface do you use for windows?

That error is a known problem with some versions of rsync

These guys seems to have found the origin of it.

actually I applied this patch in June 2013
Attached this patched version, seems we did not included it in the firmware (for whatever reason :scratch )

rsync is present in /usr/sbin you could try to replace the old version from 29-10-2011 with this one from 9-6-2013

ps it is cosmetic patch as in fact it only disables the error message, maybe thats why we did not replace rsync

I'm not using deltacopy, I'm using command line
Code: Select all
Full Backup Sample:
rsync -avz --exclude="$RECYCLE.BIN" --exclude="System Volume Information" /cygdrive/d/ rsync://192.168.0.8:873/share/2015-12-21

Incremental:
rsync -avz --link-dest=../2015-12-21 --exclude="$RECYCLE.BIN" --exclude="System Volume Information" /cygdrive/d/ rsync://192.168.0.8:873/share/2015-12-22


Downloaded rsync for windows from https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync

The erros are gone but i'm not completely sure if the underlaying problem breaks the incremental backups or not. I'm doing some testes and post here.
Thanks
