Error when copying files from /etc

[Hecate]

When trying to backup my /etc folder on linux (Rocky Linux 9.4) with SyncoveryRS service enabled, I have some of the following errors:

Code: Select all

\pcp\pmsearch\pmsearch.conf (Transfer error, dest size=3687, src size=37 at 0000000001F957DC.CP: BTFOutX)
\pcp\pmseries\pmseries.conf (Transfer error, dest size=3687, src size=37 at 0000000001F957DC.CP: BTFOutX)

\systemd\system\graphical.target.wants\upower.service (Transfer error, dest size=994, src size=38 at 0000000001F957DC.CP: BTFOutX)
\systemd\system\local-fs.target.wants\ostree-remount.service (Transfer error, dest size=1481, src size=46 at 0000000001F957DC.CP: BTFOutX)

I also have SElinux enabled
I don't understand why it's failling

Hi,
maybe these are links?

Which of the reported sizes is correct, for example for the first file:
\pcp\pmsearch\pmsearch.conf

You can disable the size check on the second tab sheet of the FTP dialog.

Apparently the file system reports a different size from what is actually read and copied, possibly because they are links.

[Hecate]

You are right, these are symbolic links !

[tobias]

Hi,
OK, I need to fix the size checking for those.

You can choose if symlinks should be followed under Masks & Filters -> General Filters.

[Hecate]

I've checked both the "Follow symbolic link to"

Hello,
this problem should be fixed in version 10.16.9 now.

Updated today (I know I'm late and I'm sorry) to version 10.16.11

one error:

It's a symlink on the source (rocky linux 9.4) and the file exist on the destination (my personal computer, windows 11 pro)
The file also exist on the source as the real file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/amavisd.service
and it also exist on the usr backup folder (another job) on the target (personal computer)

Also, it's configured as exact mirror from source (linux to target (windows), maybe using smart tracking may be better ?

If you need, I can send you screenshots and the profile file by email

[tobias]

Hi,
Exact Mirror is fine, you just need to disable the size check on the second tab sheet of the FTP dialog.

I will also look into it further.
