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