FreqitHi. I'm trying to backup my /home/ with all the subdirectories, but I get an error: rsync: readlink_stat("/home/freqit/.gvfs") failed: Permission denied (13) ("freqit" is the user I run the command sudo rsync -av /home/ /media/usb_backup/home/ with).15:33
Freqitbefore that I only backed up a single subdiretory (/home/shared_stuff/) using the same user and command and it worked fine15:33
tneivaHi, have you any remote filesystems mounted? samba, ftp, ssh?15:42
tneivathe .gvfs is used to mount remote filesystems, so you may have a mount to a network share and rsync is not able access it15:46
Freqitthe linux machine provides samba shares for 3 other computers in the network, yes15:48
tneivawhat I meant is the other way around... .gvfs is a mount point that gnome uses to mount remote filesystems15:49
tneivabut then again you can exclude that directory from your backup15:49
Freqitsudo rsync -av --exclude=.gvfs /home/ /media/usb_backup/home/ seems to do the trick. no more error messages15:52
tneivaI was just about to post it15:52
