[opensuse] Rsync from Linux box to external VFAT drive over CIFS
I hate it when I have to admit defeat but I'm having trouble finding out a resolution to this issue. I'm trying to set up rsync from my linux box to an external drive mounted on a windows box. I mount the drive to /mnt/smb and can access it just fine. But when I attempt to rsync files, it looks like anything beyond one level of sub-directory gives me a permission denied error. At this point I'm trying a simple directory with a few files and some sub-directories in it. Here's the output: anthony@dell:~> rsync --verbose --progress --compress --recursive --delete-after --modify-window=1 /home/anthony/Documents/ /mnt/smb/ANTHONY/Dell/ building file list ... 34 files to consider .directory 1119 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=32/34) New Document.odt 0 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#2, to-check=31/34) New Spreadsheet.ods 2496 100% 2.38MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#3, to-check=30/34) Xen_user.pdf 274633 100% 4.59MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#4, to-check=29/34) virtualbox_1.6_UserManual.pdf 4171553 100% 6.41MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#5, to-check=28/34) Open Suse Documentation/ Open Suse Documentation/opensuse103.zip 32231072 100% 6.45MB/s 0:00:04 (xfer#6, to-check=26/34) Open Suse Documentation/pdfdoc/ rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/mnt/smb/ANTHONY/Dell/Open Suse Documentation/pdfdoc" failed: Permission denied (13) *** Skipping everything below this failed directory *** sent 36300507 bytes received 220 bytes 5584727.23 bytes/sec total size is 75139177 speedup is 2.07 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] anthony@dell:~> I've tried several different rsync strings, and get pretty much the same problems regardless of what I do.

I've tried several different rsync strings, and get pretty much the same problems regardless of what I do. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
The problem is not rsync, but how you mounted the drive. Try looking at
setting the username and password. (I am assuming that you have sharing
turned on.

Is this directory name too long for the destination, maybe ?? If so then it will not copy the rest of the directory also, maybe a shorter name would work...

Backup to vfat with rsync is totally doable. I used to back up to a Win 95 box from my server. (It was an old IBM PC that would not boot from a floppy) Take Jerry's advise and use a username/password with the mount and you will be fine. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
