what's wrong with my Rsync setup between 2 nas4free boxes?

[supercazzola]

two machines, both on local net, both running NAS4Free-9.1.0.1/9.1.0.1.573

machine 192.168.1.222:
set up as rsync server.
has the empty space I want to use for storing my backups.
mapped to a user.
has module named test222, mapped to directory /mnt/Mirror/Mirror/RsyncData/ that same user has drwx permissions to

machine 192.168.1.223:
setup as rsync client.
houses the data I want to backup at /home/user/Downloads/
has remote module source: test222
has remote ip address corresponding to machine 192.168.1.222
has remote local share pointing to directory where I want to pull data from (destination, but reverse direction is enabled).
who: root
reverse direction enabled.

Diagnostic - information:
RSYNC Client informations
Detected RSYNC remote shares:

RSYNC client number 0:
- Remote server address: 192.168.1.222
- Remote share name configured : test222
- Detected shares on this server:
test222 comment_for_test222

so it appears everything is set up correctly. but when I click on execute now in the client, nothing happens.
i can manually ssh into 223 and run a command similar to this, and it works. But the GUI doesn't seem to work for me.

Code: Select all

rsync -v -a -e "ssh -l username" /home/user/Downloads/* username@192.168.1.222:/mnt/Mirror/Mirror/RsyncData/

Does anyone have any ideas why it won't work from the GUI? What did I do wrong?

Hi Supercazzola,

Please remember to use the report generator per the rules and guidelines when starting a new topic.

when I click on execute now in the client, nothing happens.

Something must be happening, check the logs on both servers to find out what. Remember that the WebGUI will not let you do anything else until the rsync is finished, so rather than "executing now" set the timer and have it go off automatically two minutes in the future.

run a command similar to this, and it works.

Far as I can tell the command you posted would not work. There is no need to have

"ssh -l username"

in it and I don't see where you specified the module name.

Please post any error messages you find, an exact command that definitely works and a screenshot of the rsync configuration page so we can compare them. Then it may be possible to see if you made a mistake somewhere.

Thanks,
Al

222 is showing permission errors when rsync is trying to make directories:

Jan 17 06:34:39 nas4free rsyncd[6514]: *** Skipping any contents from this failed directory ***
Jan 17 06:34:39 nas4free rsyncd[6514]: rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/72_Clint Eastwood" (in test222) failed: Permission denied (13)

Jan 17 06:34:39 nas4free rsyncd[6514]: rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/73_Darth Vader" (in test222) failed: Permission denied (13)
Jan 17 06:34:39 nas4free rsyncd[6514]: *** Skipping any contents from this failed directory ***

Far as I can tell the command you posted would not work.

well, it does work, but the username in my code was my actual username. I grabbed the sample from here,
http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... ync:basics
under the section "Rsync Usage Examples" - Backup Multiple files using ssh:

thank you Al, I appreciate any insight you can help me gain as to why there are permission errors. As I mentioned, I set 222 to a valid user (the same user that works with rsync usage example above), and 223 to root.

Thanks for the error messages, those are helpful.

Please post

an exact command that definitely works and a screenshot of the rsync configuration page so we can compare them.

I grabbed the sample from here

For the particular configuration LDKramer used that would work, I don't think your configuration is the same, that's why I need to compare the information requested above. If the command you previously posted definitely works then just post the screenshot.

Thanks,
Al

here is the screenshot. Please note, blue is the machine 223, and green is the 222.

Hi Supercazzola,

That was a good screenshot and it helps, but sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I am interested in

a screenshot of the rsync configuration page

from the WebGUI of each server, that way I can compare them to each other and the command you are using.

Sorry for the mixup,
Al
