Re: does the stable release 2.32.52 contain the bug fix (rev. 407) regarding 64 bit compile on MacOSX?

No, Unison 2.32.52 does not contain the fix.  So, when compiled to
64bit, it will not synchronize correctly ressource forks and finder
information.

You can indeed store the .unison directory on the external drive
itself: set the environment variable UNISON to some directory that
you want Unison to use instead of the default .unison directory.

But this is not going to be sufficient.  The .unison contains a pair
of archive files (one for each replica), which are used to select in
which direction the files should be propagated.  The name of these
files depend on the machine hostname.  Thus, if you synchronize from
different machines, Unison will use different pairs of archives and
will make suboptimal choices.  The workaround is to use the rootalias
directive to ensure that the same pair of archives is always used.

unison and backups

hi
New to the group and first time playing around with unison. I've got it working how I want other than my
backups appear in the synched location - ie folder1/folder2/folder3 and if i synch from server1 to
server2 my backups appear in folder1/folder2/folder3. i'd like to specify a location for them whether
local on each server or central to them all. I've been reading and searching but don't seem able to crack it.
My config is 
backuplocation = local
backupprefix = $VERSION.
backupdir = /home/synctest/backups
maxbackups = 10
The backupdir exists and is under the same ownership as the user synching. I've run with debug and
"backupdir" never appears. I've also tried with backuplocation = central but no change. With the above
config and specifying -backups I do get the backups as stated above.

This is because "-backups" means this (from the manual):
> For backward compatibility, the backups preference is also supported. It simply means backup = Name * and
backuplocation = local.

You may want to try using the "backup = <pathspec>" preference
instead, setting "backuplocation" to central (which you actually don't
need to as it's the default value).

Hope this helps,

Alan

Error when syncing read-only files on Windows

Hi,

I've been having a problem for a while, that I just manually fix which is transferring read-only files on Windows.  I tried the new beta 2.40.16 and it does the same thing.  When I have a new read-only file created on a replica, unison will transfer the file to the other replica as a temp file and then fail during the renaming process with a "Permission Denied" error.  As the same user running unison, I then can go into Windows explorer and rename the unison temp file to the proper name (after confirming the rename of a read-only file warning) and removing the hidden attribute and then everything is fine.  Since the new beta doesn't address this, I guess it's time for a bug report.  The problem appears to be that unison is unable to rename read-only files from Windows machines for some reason.  Doing a -debug all gives this output:

I'm not sure if this is part of the problem, but the DCSS02 server is a Samba share on a CentOS 5.4 Linux box.  I have another CentOS server that unison then syncs to keep the servers synced to each other and the process goes without a glitch, so it is definitely a problem on Windows and not on Linux.  Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help track this down.  Unfortunately, I'm not setup to compile on Windows, so I am using the binary provided on Alan's website made by Karl, and thus don't have the ability to apply any patches.

Thanks,

Mike E.

You need to specify the path you want to backup. So this:
backup = Path backups
means that you backup every file under the directory backups. Maybe you want
backup = Name *
to backup everything that is synchronized.

Hope this helps,

OSX 10.6.3 to Centos 5.3?

Hi All,

I've got Unison 2.40.1 running on a 13" White MacBook (2.4GHz Core 2 
Duo, 4G RAM) talking over a LAN to

Unison 2.40.16 running on a Centos 5.3 Linux 2.6.18 box with 2.2GHz 
Intel Core 2 Duo and 2G RAM.

When I do small directories, everything works well, but when I do my

[server: remote] Connection closed by the client
Illegal instruction
Descartes-2:unison wpns$

I'm not seeing anything in the Centos system logs in /var/log about 
unison other than installation stuff, and there doesn't seem to be a log 
file in ~ or ~/.unison for what's going on there.

I've added "log = true" to the Linux default.prf, but I'm still not 
seeing a lot file.

I can't tell if the server (Centos box) is throwing an illegal 
instruction and crashing the client (MacBook), or the other way around, 
but it's certainly crashing on the MacBook side, and sending some stuff 
to Apple.

The directories I'm trying to sync are about 78G, and something like 
100K files.  I'll be trying the subdirectories of /Software one at a 
time, but I thought someone might have some thoughts about what I can do 
in the meantime...

Many Thanks!

Re: OSX 10.6.3 to Centos 5.3?

OK, I've gone through all the subdirectories, and the problem seems to 
be in some of the Apple files.

Is OSX 10.6.3 running Unison 2.40.1 _SUPPOSED_ to work with Centos 5.3 
running Unison 2.40.16????

Thanks!

unison fails to copy due to permissions (OSX to FAT)

When unison (v. 2.32.12 for OSX) tries to copy a file from a OSX filesystem to a FAT32 volume (USB drive) it
ALWAYS fails. Gives an error saying that the permissions could not be copied.This is understandable
since FAT32 has no permissions, but the file should be copied (and an error reported) and what happens is
that no file is copied. This is using the graphical interface. Any clues? I read about setting "perms" to,
e.g., 0 but I cannot find how to set perms for the GUI (for the CLI I know how to do it, but I really want to use the
gui, my users would not figure how to use the CLI...).
