[15:33] <Freqit> Hi. 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] <Freqit> before that I only backed up a single subdiretory (/home/shared_stuff/) using the same user and command and it worked fine
[15:42] <tneiva> Hi, have you any remote filesystems mounted? samba, ftp, ssh?
[15:46] <tneiva> the .gvfs is used to mount remote filesystems, so you may have a mount to a network share and rsync is not able access it
[15:48] <Freqit> the linux machine provides samba shares for 3 other computers in the network, yes
[15:49] <tneiva> what I meant is the other way around... .gvfs is a mount point that gnome uses to mount remote filesystems
[15:49] <tneiva> but then again you can exclude that directory from your backup
[15:52] <Freqit> sudo rsync -av --exclude=.gvfs /home/ /media/usb_backup/home/ seems to do the trick. no more error messages
[15:52] <tneiva> I was just about to post it
[15:52] <tneiva> lol
[15:52] <tneiva> must be going now
