As the subject says, rsync appears to be down.
I've been using rsync to do periodic backups of cmucl, so can we get rsync restored?
Hmmm. The 'rsync' binary is still present:
what do you mean by "rsync" is down? Did you use something other than "rsync through ssh connection"?
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I've had a cronjob for years that basically does:
rsync -av rsync://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/cvsroot cmucl/cvsroot
When I run this now, I get this error:
Indeed rsyncd is not running as a service.
Any reason you don't simply change your usage to:
rsync -avz rtoy@common.lisp.net:/project/cmucl/cvsroot cmucl/cvsroot
using "rsync over ssh" instead of "rsyncd"?
I've never used rsyncd before, as I understand it to be more intended for one-to-many (i.e. public mirrors) than one-to-one (i.e. differential backup) use cases.
If there is some reason that "rsync over ssh" won't work for you, holler back with some arguments with which I will escalate to discussion with the other admins.
