[SOLVED] Error while copying data from one server to another, using rsync.

Hi,

I'm using RHEL 5.3 and while copying some data i.e., log files from one server to another using rsync, I got some error.
I executed this command for copying:

Code:

# rsync -avze ssh 2012Mar11-2012Mar11 <destination-IP-address>:/logs/Linux_Server_Logs/sarg/Mar-2012/daily/

And I got this error:

rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/logs/Linux_Server_Logs/sarg/Mar-2012/daily/2012Mar11-2012Mar11/172.16.31.55" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: stat "/logs/Linux_Server_Logs/sarg/Mar-2012/daily/2012Mar11-2012Mar11/172.16.31.55" failed: No such file or directory (2)

The folder '012Mar11-2012Mar11' is of 143MB and there are number of directories and files in there.

For every directories inside 2012Mar11-2012Mar11 folder I'm getting this error while copying.

I tried copying using scp. I got this error:

Code:

# scp -r 2012Mar11-2012Mar11 root@172.16.104.22:/logs/Linux_Server_Logs/sarg/Mar-2012/daily
root@172.16.104.22's password:
scp: /logs/Linux_Server_Logs/sarg/Mar-2012/daily/2012Mar11-2012Mar11: Read-only file system

Well, that would be a problem ....

Exactly that is the problem. And I solved this problem by again mounting the filesystem.
I used this command to remount the filesystem:

Code:

# mount -o rw -t ext3 /dev/logsvg/logslv /logs

And it worked for me and succeeded in copying the data in destination server.

Now again I got the error while deleting the data from the destination server. Again it says "read only filesystem"

I again tried to mount the filesystem with this command:

Code:

# mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/logsvg/logslv /logs

It gives me this error:

Quote:

mount: block device /dev/logsvg/logslv is write-protected, mounting read-only

I tried to ignore the locking failure with this command:

Code:

# lvchange --ignorelockingfailure -p w /dev/logsvg/logslv

It gives me this error:

Quote:

Invalid argument w
Error during parsing of command line.

Any idea?

Well, now the problem has been solved. The partition which was causing errors was deleted and recreated the same partition. All the problem was due to the extraction of some free space from the server to rearrange the SAN space. So, I marking the thread as SOLVED.
