relative path ^pathname starts with a slash !?

[jtognazzi]

With the rpm version 2.1.5 from epel6, I have the following behaviour:
Relative path starts with a slash
Absolute path have a double slash after the source or target directory.

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

lsyncd.conf

----
-- User configuration file for lsyncd.
--
settings {
   pidfile = "/var/run/coremedia/lsyncd.pid",
   logfile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.log",
   statusFile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.status",
   maxProcesses = 3,
}

-----
-- for testing purposes. just echos what is happening.
--
echo = {
        maxProcesses = 1,
        delay = 1,
        onStartup = "/bin/echo telling about ^source",
        onAttrib  = "/bin/echo attrib: sourcePathname is ^sourcePathname, path is ^path, pathname is ^pathname.",
        onCreate  = "/bin/echo create: sourcePathname is ^sourcePathname, path is ^path, pathname is ^pathname.",
        onDelete  = "/bin/echo delete: sourcePathname is ^sourcePathname, path is ^path, pathname is ^pathname.",
        onModify  = "/bin/echo modify: sourcePathname is ^sourcePathname, path is ^path, pathname is ^pathname.",
        onMove    = "/bin/echo move ^o.pathname -> ^d.pathname",
}

sync {
  echo,
  source = "/mnt/upload/master",
  target = "/mnt/upload/prod",
}

and this is the log i get:

For the record, to workaround my issue, I simply added add "." in front of the variable...

[axkibe]

Its still confusing I suppose.

[gdewey]

I am having the same issue.. when deleting in source I get this

Mon May 30 16:42:38 2016 Normal: Deleting list
/home/ubuntu/target//hola.txt
Permission denied (publickey).

where permission denied because there is a double slash between the target and the file name.

if I restart the service they will get in sync..

for me its like a bug.. did you got any solution on this jtognazzi ?

[axkibe]

whatever your issue is, I doubt it is the double //

This shouldn't hurt try ls.////// in a shell for example.

[axkibe]

I suppose you're using default.rsyncssh not default.rsync and your rsync channel works, but your ssh channel doesn't. Easiest solution is to use plain default.rsync.

[gdewey]

well "onDelete" I get

/home/ubuntu/target//hola.txt
Permission denied (publickey).

but when restart the deamon I get

sending incremental file list
deleting hola.txt
./
and it does delete it. So I assume there is no public key or permission problem but ssh trying to delete /home/ubuntu/target//hola.txt and not /home/ubuntu/target/hola.txt
I am mannually running rsync to sync and ondelete it works..

is there a way to strip the // into / so I make sure this is not the issue?

thanks

[gdewey]

and yes I am using default.rsyncssh .. let me try using srync and change the path to a remote server and see if it does it

[axkibe]

The double slash is 99.9% sure not the issue

Try running as user Lsyncd is running with "ssh [target] touch x"

[gdewey]

well I gave a shot on not using the syncssh and use the default and it works as as charm

here is my final setting to share in case someone uses amazon ec2 and needs to use file authentication

settings {

    logfile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.log",
    statusFile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.status",
    delay = 0,

}

sync {
default.rsync,
source = "/home/ubuntu/source",
target = "ubuntu@serverip:/home/ubuntu/target",

    rsync = {

         archive = true,
         compress = true,
         owner = true, 
         perms = true,
         verbose = true,
         acls = true,
         rsh = "ssh -i /home/ubuntu/cert/key.pem"

       },    

   }

This has been changed with Lsyncd 2.2.0
