How to initially fill share using rsync

[Sh-J]

Dear Robert,

Its good to map them, so your replicated volume can use/access the same groups and users.

How its going now?

Hi!

Can't agree. Open-e is configured to use NIS. We have several hundreds of users, and we have daily changes on this database --really!!! (research environment close to a university)

Thus, Open-e MUST be able to work with NIS. It isn't a solution for us to keep out (actually) two Open-e systems manually consistent to NIS.

Best,

Robert

Hi all,

the problem is solved now. I didn't realize that rsync is used in _daemon-mode_, and therefore it needs double colon in the remote address. Furthermore, the NAS resource name must be given instead of a filesystem's path.

wrong:

rsync (options) ./ user@DSS:/share/resource

correct:

rync (options) ./ user@DSS::resource

Things are working well now. Thanks to all who helped!

Best,

Robert
