[gentoo-user] rsync errors

[gentoo-user] rsync errors

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi

I am running the command

/usr/bin/rsync -avO /var/lib/mysql sms@hostaa:/var/lib/ >
/tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log 2>&1

I am getting the below error in the log file

mysql/
rsync: failed to set permissions on "/var/lib/mysql": Operation not
permitted (1)
rsync: failed to open "/var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0", continuing:
Permission denied (13)
mysql/ib_logfile0
rsync: failed to open "/var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile1", continuing:
Permission denied (13)
mysql/ib_logfile1
rsync: failed to open "/var/lib/mysql/ibdata1", continuing: Permission
denied (13)
mysql/ibdata1
rsync: failed to open "/var/lib/mysql/master.info", continuing:
Permission denied (13)
mysql/master.info
rsync: failed to open "/var/lib/mysql/SCHEDULER
/ScheduleTasks.MYD", continuing: Permission denied (13)

Any thing I am missing

I did setfacl -R -dm u:sms:rwx /var/lib/mysql on hostaa
       setfacl -R -dm u:mysql:rwx /var/lib/mysql on hostaa
       chmod -R g-x,g+X /var/lib/mysql on hostaa

but no luck

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal

Please supply more info:

1. The permissions on the source and destination directories
2. The ACL's for those directories
3. Does your system have ACLs compiled in, and are they enabled?
4. Which user is rsync running as?

rsync should work with that setup, I don't know why you are getting 
errors. I seriously recommend you take a close look at your permissions 
for /var/lib/mysql though - you have it world-writeable - a big no-no

ACLs are working - the + at the end of the permissions in 'ls -l' proves 
that.

I would be checking the individual files inside /var/lib/mysql/ and the 
directory /var/lib itself.

Also, I don't know what (1) and (13) in the error logs means. It looks 
like rsync result codes, but those numbers for rsync make no sense at 
all in this context. Hopefully someone else reading this knows.

Finally, SELinux can do odd things like this, but it's errors are easy 
to spot for what they are. Do you know what they look like, and do you 
have SELinux enabled?
