ramfree17 Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 does anybody have a site supporting rsynch? i am getting this error whenever i try [ramfree@localhost ~]$ rsync rsync::ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu::rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync 873: Name or service not known rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83) anybody know the reason? or is the server just not supporting rsynch? basing on some posts and an article i got from the net, that server is indeed rsynchable. i tried some servers to but i still havent succeeded. ciao!

tyme Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 carroll has been on the fritz lately. does this.. yes, but mdkkdm is the only one that gives a list of os's to reboot to. So this doesn't solve the prob. mean that you've tied other servers with the same response? if it's just carroll that's giving you that response, i would bet she's just being a pain. i've been considering sending an e-mail to our ResCom department (i got to PSU-and work for ResNet at my campus) to ask them what's up...the gentoo folders went poof :unsure: so i think they're screwin' around up there. can rsync use http? try that instead of ftp, i know before the gentoo folders disappeared ftp wouldn't work, i had to set up emerge to use http.

aru Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 what protocol are you using?? :shock: rsync:// and ftp:// at the same time?? It should be something like this (more or less): ~$ rsync rsync://carroll.cac.psu.edu:. . or better, as the man page says: ~$ rsync carroll.cac.psu.edu:: HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 confirmed, to retrieve the apache stuff in that server I had to do: ~$ rsync -avuzb carroll.cac.psu.edu::apache . [...stuff...] ~$ ls 404.html LICENSE-1.0.txt LICENSE.txt dist/ foundation/ images/ info/ mail/ CVS/ LICENSE-1.1.txt dev/ dyn/ history/ images-old/ licenses/ mirrors/ ~$ check the man page (section CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this doesn't solve the prob. mean that you've tied other servers with the same response? forgive me as i have just survived 2 days without a pc but did i say that? i have never used mdkkdm or any of those runlevel 5 managers as i always boot into run level 3. and thanks aru. i dont know why it works now but i am sure it was not working the past few times i tried it. the ftp part in the address was part of the tutorial. i was also thinking why it was added in the first place. :? anyway, ill try more of this tomorrow when i get home. thanks! ciao!

MoonChild Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 According to the rsync website and mailing list, the code errors mean that rsync could not retrieve some files, or, to put it more exact, it could not verify it got one of the files or connection correctly. This is a huge problem with rsync and there are millions of references on google about it. Them sot bizarre one I saw was that rsync would refuse to download some files for some reason, because of the owner/group tag, eventhough they were publicly available. Oh well...

ramfree17 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 now im getting excited with this app (humor me, but this is my first linux brain activity in almost a month :#:). but how do i tell it to continue whatever its downloading when it gets interrupted? im on a dialup so i dont think i can download something bigger than 10MB in one connect session. i thought i read somewhere that i could use wget as the downloading utility but i cant find that tidbit in the manpage. tia! ciao!

aru Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 No need for wget at all. Either if it could be done or not, the result will be very un-efficient. You can use the flags "partial or P". From rsync man page: --partial By default, rsync will delete any partially trans ferred file if the transfer is interrupted. In some circumstances it is more desirable to keep par tially transferred files. Using the --partial option tells rsync to keep the partial file which should make a subsequent transfer of the rest of the file much faster. [...] -P The -P option is equivalent to --partial --progress. I found myself typing that combination quite often so I created an option to make it eas ier.

aru Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 If you want to mess a bit more with your linux and at the same time improve the quality of your connection give a look to these threads: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4750 http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4986 The above stuff is meant to improve the quality of internet connection in a LAN to Dialup system; but I think that some of that stuff can be applied directly to modems too.
