-a little introduction:
-i am forced to use windows on my work laptop and workstation, also my wife needs windows.
-my "servers" would be linux, i am actually using fedora and i upgraded from fc17 since i was not able to get a recent version of git annex to compile there.
-
-what happens, is that once i try to copy from the windows machine where the file is to the linux through ssh+rsync, i receive this error - as long as the user owning the linux repository isn't root:
-
- c:\locale>git annex copy --to linux myfile
- copy myfile (checking linux...) (to linux...)
- rsync: failed to open "/linux/annex/tmp/SHA256E-s10--937a89b559820f8658892"
- myfile
- 10 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)
- rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /home/lapo/package/rsync-3.0.9-1/src/rsyn
- total size is 10 speedup is 0.09
- failed
- git-annex: copy: 1 failed
-
-the file in tmp has no permissions at all:
-
- me@linux annex]$ ls -lart tmp/SHA256E-s10--937a89b559820f86588921ef3eb12c13074d078b62ef205bb597bf2e895408c3
- ----------. 1 me me 10 Oct 13 22:50 tmp/SHA256Es10--937a89b559820f86588921ef3eb12c13074d078b62ef205bb597bf2e895408c3
-
-(just consider the following if the above makes any sense:) in another case (i cannot reproduce it now, possibly due to having upgraded git annex from some 2012 release), it happened that a failed download via copy/move from linux to windows (failed for permissions) would not be recorded as failed (on windows side), causing files to possibly be killed at the first subsequent drop command.
-
-my question is: are these 0-permissions on tmp files a bug or just due to some ignorance i did put in setting up the git/annex repo ? is a git/annex repo to be run solely as root/sudoer ? or shall i take any other step in configuring it ?
-
-technicalities:
-
-"client": windows version:
-
- git-annex version: 4.20131002-gf25991c
-
-"server": linux version:
-
- git-annex version: 3.20130207
-
-> [[done]]; fixed in newer git-annex versions. --[[Joey]]
