| jared | Anyone have any idea why rsync would write folders but not the files contained? | 05:04 |
|---|---|---|
| bradm | no errors when syncing? | 05:16 |
| jared | Nope | 05:17 |
| jared | I should mention it's via an mtp device using go-mtp | 05:17 |
| jared | But to me it's really odd the folders appear but not the files | 05:17 |
| jared | It goes through them all like they're copying (and takes as long as it should) but just doesn't copy files. | 05:17 |
| blahdeblah | jared: What sort of filesystem are they going onto? | 05:19 |
| jared | sd card mounted via mtab | 05:20 |
| jared | DeviceFs(Galaxy\040S4) /media/MyAndroid fuse.DeviceFs(Galaxy\040S4) rw,nosuid,nodev,user=jared 0 0 | 05:20 |
| blahdeblah | Are you using any time or permissions flags? | 05:20 |
| jared | Nope, tried with them on and off, no difference | 05:20 |
| blahdeblah | I've found syncing to Windows filesystems (VFAT or NTFS) is a bit flaky sometimes. | 05:21 |
| blahdeblah | can you show exact command? | 05:21 |
| jared | rsync -r -v --progress -h --no-perms /media/dumped/bigfatty/Media/Folder - MP3/ /media/MyAndroid/Card/Folder | 05:22 |
| jared | (the joys of new devices.....) | 05:23 |
| jared | I could just take it out and plug it straight to the pc but that won't help me keep it up to date over time | 05:24 |
| jared | I guess I'll let it run again and then trawl line by line for errors. | 05:35 |
| blahdeblah | jared: I would get rid of -h to start with | 05:36 |
| jared | Yeah, actually, looking at some lines I see some IO errors with renaming from the random extention back to the proper file names | 05:37 |
| blahdeblah | Yep - that's exactly what i've seen | 05:37 |
| jared | Doesn't explain the other stuff though | 05:37 |
| blahdeblah | Can't remember the workaround | 05:37 |
| jared | The rest of the files should still work | 05:38 |
| blahdeblah | I've also found sometimes the spaces in file names cause grief. | 05:38 |
| blahdeblah | Try replacing ' - ' with '*' | 05:38 |
| jared | blahdeblah: that's going to be painful, there are thousands in there. Leftover file system from pre-Ubuntu days ;) | 05:39 |
| blahdeblah | no, just in the rsync command | 05:40 |
| blahdeblah | not on the file system | 05:40 |
| jared | Hang on, I'll just play with the top level one that I'm using. | 05:41 |
| jared | rsync -r -v --progress -h --no-perms /media/dumped/bigfatty/Media/Folder /media/MyAndroid/Card/Folder | 05:46 |
| jared | That shows the same issues | 05:46 |
| Noskcaj | given that half the users online are bots, does this LoCo really exist anymore? | 05:55 |
| jared | Noskcaj: to a degree, it's more the main "organisers" are busy working/studying. Happy for others to step up | 05:55 |
| jared | blahdeblah & bradm: setting a different temp directory has helped | 05:55 |
| Noskcaj | jared, oh, i didn't know. i hadn't seen it active at all till a few weeks ago | 05:56 |
| jared | Noskcaj: no dramas, if you're keen for anything in particular I'm willing to help faciliitate but I'm working full time and studying 2 subjects at a time at uni | 05:56 |
| Noskcaj | no, more lurking. i'm mostly active on #xubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-quality | 05:57 |
| jared | Noskcaj: I noticed, I saw the application to the membership board, well done :) | 05:59 |
| Noskcaj | thanks | 05:59 |
| jared | You shoud cloak up ;) | 06:00 |
| jared | blahdeblah & bradm: apparently it's indicative of a permission issue so sounds like it is related to my mtpfs foo | 06:02 |
| jared | And that's the end of random highlighting | 06:02 |
| jared | Noskcaj: where abouts do you hail from if you don't mind me asking? | 06:03 |
| Noskcaj | jared, armidale. and i'll get the cloak sorted out this weekend | 06:04 |
| jared | Noskcaj: ah, out in jpickett territory I think from memory. Well if you're a social media nut or just like writing stuff we can always use more traffic from reliable sources. | 06:05 |
| Noskcaj | i'll try and help | 06:05 |
| jared | Noskcaj: no worries let me know if you could use access to anythign | 06:07 |
| jared | Alrighty, I have to go off and tick another thing off my list of thigns to do this week, thanks for the assistance with rysnc and good to catch up Noskcaj | 06:10 |
| Noskcaj | good bye | 06:10 |
