Hello,
I am using filesync to do one-way synchronisation from a source directory to
a destination directory. I decided to use filesync instead of rsync because
it's part of the Solaris OS. Anyway, when I did the initial one way
synchronisation using
filesync -s <src_directory> -d <destination_directory> <list of directories
to be duplicated>
it worked fine. I am now trying to do daily synchronisations as part of a
cron job but for some reason, the filesync is trying to do a lot of chmod's
on the source directory and I am getting filesync errors
Unable to chmod <lots of files in source directory>
as well as successful chmod's i.e.
chmod 777 <other files in source directory>
However, I don't want any modifications to the source directory (which is
NFS shared from another machine onto the machine where filesync is being run
but I don't think that matters)! I have tried using filesync in its two
forms i.e. without file arguments and also specifying the source and
destination directories using the -s and -d options but I'm getting the same
results. Looking at the man page, using the '-f src'option seems a
possibility (i.e. specify the synchronisation to favour the "source" file)
but this option can only be used when filesync is used in its "without file
arguments" form, in which case it's not obvious to me how to specify the
source. Any ideas on how I can get around this problem? Any magic that can
be done with the .packingrules or .filesync-base file?
Thanks for your help,
John Kelly.
