DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hi fonz,

In ffp 0.5, would it be possible to upgrade rsync to 3.0.7?

http://rsync.samba.org/

I have one (1) DNS-323 and two (2) DNS-343's with a somewhat elaborate backup scheme going between them:

a) DNS-343 #1 backs up five (5) different backup mount points to DNS-343 #2
b) DNS-343 #1 backs up one (1) of the five (5) backup mount points to the DNS-323

Over time for a given backup mount point, the number of "failed verification" warnings* seems to be readily increasing with every so often the warning turning into an error.

*2010/01/26 11:51:28 [20846] WARNING: macbook-pro_xxxxxxxxxxxx.sparsebundle/bands/70ac failed verification -- update discarded (will try again).


When I delete the data on the target backup DNS (to essentially kick off a full backup, which currently takes about 15 hours for a full backup with my data volume), the warning messages obviously go away for the first backup, but subsequent backups start showing the warnings more and more often (the backup runs once per day).

Here are the commands that I using:
  - Source (client):  /ffp/bin/rsync -v -a -X -H --delete-during --safe-links /mnt/HD_a2/Data/${arg_name}/. rsync://${arg_target}/${arg_name} >> /mnt/HD_a2/rsync_cron.d/${arg_name}-${arg_target}-rsync.${TIME_STAMP}.log 2>&1
  - Target (daemon):  /ffp/bin/rsync --daemon --config=/ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf --log-file=/ffp/var/run/rsyncd.log --verbose

Note:  Since I have five (5) mount points to backup, I wrote a shell script to handle the parametrization of the rsync call on the client (DNS-343 #1).


Considering some of the rsync release notes and the time that has passed since rsync 3.0.5 was released (this is the version in ffp), I am hopeful that my use of rsync is common enough that my issues have been resolved with rsync 3.0.7.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
