Hello all,


I was hoping someone could help me out with this issue. Here's what I'm doing:

We have a share on a Windows DC. We just want to run rsync on that share to an external drive. It seems to work but I get a lot of errors of which two I posted above because it seems those are the most common.

After running rysnc I see the following:

/mnt/netdisk3 and /mdc/sys are roughly equal in size. (If I use Windows "properties" when viewing both directories.)

How could I make sure that EVERYTHING has been synced correctly? I would hate to be asked for a directory that never synced. Any advice/tips??

You could create a hash, and compare, though judging by the error messages, that'll probably not work. How about a script to read the error messages, take the filenam specified and then checking whether they exist? It probably only errored files that are less likely to be there

Thanks for the response.


I was thinking that maybe some items weren't being synched because of the errors. But when I look at both locations in Windows they are roughly the same size. If I was just synchronizing would a "chown not permitted" keep any files from synchronizing?
