Rsync errors : symlink and mkstemp about svfs HOT 9 CLOSED

Hello,

svfs doesn't handle symlinks for now.

This should be documented better.

from svfs.

Ok thanks. It will be supported later ?

Also, the documentation about svfs and PCS is not good. I was unable to connect to PCS.

from svfs.

It will be.

What is/was your issue with PCS ?

from svfs.

root@orange:~
 ./openrc.sh
Please enter your OpenStack Password:

root@orange:~
echo $OS_PASSWORD_INPUT

root@orange:~
nano openrc.sh

root@orange:~
./openrc.sh

root@orange:
 echo ${OS_PASSWORD}

root@orange:~
 echo $OS_PASSWORD

root@orange:~
 echo $OS_USERNAME

root@orange:~
 mkdir /mnt/GRA1

root@orange:~
 mount -t svfs -o username=$OS_USERNAME,password=$OS_PASSWORD,tenant=$OS_TENANT_NAME,region=$OS_REGION_NAME pcs /mnt/GRA1/

Well, please don't paste your raw console output, tailor it to the relevant part, it would be easier to read.

So if I read it well, and you are not somehow hiding your actions output, your issue is that your environnement variables are not exported, right ?

from svfs.

It seems to be that :(

I also just add this error :
rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/svfs/hubic/.composer/cache/files/symfony/polyfill-mbstring/.624d730be0ea9edd5c8cfeb4aaf5d697d56f706b.zip.IzhuLp" failed: Operation not supported (95) rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/svfs/hubic/.composer/cache/files/symfony/polyfill-php56/.0b8ec31a480b955b9d3857ce91ffe0e358f4aa18.zip.mfZnbg" failed: Operation not supported (95) rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/svfs/hubic/.composer/cache/files/symfony/polyfill-util/.ab2b2f259f5533304e6e115a16e5789eb2544a6a.zip.e9X1iP" failed: Operation not supported (95)

Ok, so if that's your raw terminal output then it seems normal to me these actions produce what you see : you are executing the openrc.sh script instead of sourcing it. The PCS documentation is fine on this part. The consequence is : you are not exporting environment variables in the current shell process but in a subprocess. Also, you don't need root access, edit keep_env in the sudoers file so you can pass these openstack credentials during mount.

Regarding the last error, this is expected if you use any process opening a file in append mode inside svfs. This is documented in the limitations section. Particular rsync options are required if you synchronize data from/to an svfs mountpoint and these are documented in the FAQ. Note that the FAQ also explains modification time change can only be processed when enabling extend attributes (extra_attr=true).

If you have further problems, please open a ticket for each kind of issue. This way it's much easier to maintain the project.

See #62 for symlink implementation.

README and FAQ have been updated.

Hopefully this will catch people attention when it comes to run rsync with svfs.
