[UNsolved]Using RSync with SMB issue

Hi there,

I finally managed to rsync files to my Iomega NAS, but I still have some errors despite the files being actually transferred :rolleyes:

I added this line in my fstab:

//10.11.12.250/antoine /home/antoine/AMount/MyNAS cifs credentials=/etc/PwdDir/smbpasswd_MyNAS,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=antoine rw 0 0

with uid=antoine being my local username.

Then I launch rsync with:

rsync -av /home/antoine/_Sandbox_/MS/ /home/antoine/AMount/MyNAS/BackUp/

The files are transferred correctly but I got these annoying errors:

antoine@Skystreak:/etc$ rsync -av /home/antoine/_Sandbox_/MS/ /home/antoine/AMount/MyNAS/BackUp/

Any help will be appreciated .

I am reading this as the files were allready on your back up medium.

You could try

Code:



sudo chown -R antoine /path/to/nas ( If you need the files ) 



or 



rm File_throwing_errors ( If they have no value )

Then run the rsync operation again.

Thanks, but the files were not on the NAS before.

Actually, I wonder if that's not a kind of user conflict between these 2 users:

antoine @ NAS

and

antoine @ local

The files I copied to the NAS are write-protected and belong to user with uid 1005 (??), while the uid of antoine@local is uid 1000.... Getting really confused as I have no idea who is uid=1005, didnt find anything in /etc/passwd

The UID # would indicate it is an actual user and not a system account.... strange :scratch:

I assume nobody else has acces to the NAS, correct ?

You could write a little script to monitor.

Code:



#! /bin/bash



while  [1] 

do

fuser -u /path/to/nas >> log

done

:scratch:

Thanks jv for your suggestion.

There are other users on the NAS.

I checked and 1005 is actually my UID on the NAS (antoine@NAS).

I found a similar issue on a website, suggesting to add noperm to the fstab line but doesn't work better...

Any idea anyone ?

Cheers ++
