Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed Post 302489755 by otheus on Friday 21st of January 2011 01:36:04 PM

rsync is a good way to make a mirror, as it uses a minimum change-set to copy make sure the two sides have the same contents.

As for the timeout... post more information if you still have the problem: What protocol is rsync using to connect to the remote side? (rsync's own or ssh) Does the problem happen all the time, or just some of the time? Is the "handle files with holes" option in use? If not, make sure you dont copy db/dbm files and the like. Does the problem occur if you do a *local* rsync - using the same host via the loopback connection?

NAME
rsync_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rsync daemon DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rsync server via flexible mandatory access control. FILE_CONTEXTS SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If you want to share files using the rsync daemon, you must label the files and directories public_content_t. So if you created a special directory /var/rsync, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool. chcon -t public_content_t /var/rsync To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration: semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?" This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local: /var/rsync(/.*)? system_u:object_r:publix_content_t:s0 Run the restorecon command to apply the changes: restorecon -R -v /var/rsync/ SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub- lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub- lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for rsync you would execute: setsebool -P allow_rsync_anon_write=1 BOOLEANS
