Re: 2.6.4 Potential protocol-corrupting bug

The problem would have most likely caused the protocol to abort.  If
you're using 2.6.3, it should not have caused a corrupted destination
file unless you had --partial enabled (which tells rsync to keep a
corrupted file).  However, older rsync versions used to save the
failed-to-verify file in place of the destination file, so I suppose
there's a chance that rsync could have lived long enough to tell the
receiver to create a file with some bogus data and then died before
the resend fixed it.

Re: Some files not logged when using --compare-dest. Bug?

Yes, rsync has historically not reported files that are the same except
for their attributes (permissions, group, owner) unless you use two -v
options or (in 2.6.4) a log-format with %i (e.g. using the -i option).
However, --compare-dest does complicate this, since the identical file
can be in the --compare-dest dir, and not in the actual destination dir.
Earlier in the development cycle, I noticed that rsync was not updating
a file that differed in attributes when using --compare-dest, so I
decided to fix that for 2.6.4.  However, since the file is not actually
transferred (it is copied locally), it can be deceptive that the name is
not output with only one -v.  The way it currently works is that rsync
outputs just what it would have output if the destination were a merging
of the --compare-dest files with the destination files.

[Bug 2561] rsync crashes when using the "exclude from" option on server side.

Created an attachment (id=1129)
 --> (https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=1129&action=view)
Fix crash when module-path is "/" and excludes are anchored.

This patch should be the correct fix for this bug when chroot is disabled.

Re: Is rsync right for us?

> Do I have to tell rsync what the username and
> password is for the remote IBM?

Yes, one way or the other.

Append -e "ssh -l root"
or if you have an identity key, so you won't have to type password (this 
is copy/paste from a previous bug repport)
-e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync/id_dsa -l root"

Are you running a rsync server on the IBM?

In case you aren't you can try this (again copy/paste)

rsync --server --daemon --config=/root/rsync/conf .

/root/rsync/conf contains:
==========================
log file   = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file   = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = no

[rootfs]
path             = /
max connections  = 1
list             = no
uid              = root
include from     = /root/rsync/include
exclude from     = /root/rsync/exclude
hosts allow      = <IP>,127.0.0.1

Re: patch for replacing non-printable chars in filenames

Actually, that patch didn't put the suggested 'x' in after the '\'.
After trying this a bit, I now think it would read better to use 3-digit
octal escaping.  That would turn a \n into \012 instead of \x0a, for
instance.  The changes to the prior patch are as easy as increasing the
'3's to '4's, changing the sprintf() format to "\\%03o", and fixing the
function comment.

I would be perfectly fine with that. And octal is probably more in the
line of how escaping is traditionally done. As long as I can process
the files in the log, I'm all for it.

Btw, will this change make it into a later rsync version (2.4.7?) ? I
would rather not depend on using a custom patched rsync, but if it
will become a standard feature at some point it feels less hacky. ;)

Anyway, thanks. :)

Yes, I've just committed it for 2.6.5.  Now I need to add configure
checking for setlocale() and locale.h.

I think I have a better heuristic for this case.  Attached is a patch
that makes rsync itemize the copy as a "local change" (so the leading
'c' will get set) and output the name of the locally-copied file if
itemized-output is not enabled.
