rsync problem...again

anon091 · 07-20-2009, 03:11 PM

OK, everyone helped me like a week ago get rsync working, but for some reason, and without me changing anything, it now throws a different error message.

building file list ... pop_dir /data1 : Permission denied
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at flist.c(1001)

unfortunately both the source and destination have a /data1 in them, so i'm not sure which one its complaining about. I'm starting to not like rsync haha.

Please add your distro to your profile.
Please post both systems details in here and also show perms on files/dirs using 'ls -l' and confirm which user is running rsync.
Running manually or from cron?

Its on RHEL. Not sure what details you want to see. The user who runs the crontab has permission to All the subfolders that it should be rsync'ing (its at 770).

The weird thing is that I ran the exact same command just now, and it now showed a list of a bunch of files it wants to delete!! although its not all the files it should delete. why would it do one thing one day, and another thing now?
