I am trying to synchronize a folder on my mac with one on an ubuntu server 16.06 system that I built. The problem is with the rsync version. Here is what I did. I created a file in /var/log/lsyncd/ and called it lsyncd.conf.lua. The following are its contents:
settings {
logfile = "/var/log/lysncd/lsyncd.log", -- Sets the log file
statusFile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd-status.log" -- Sets the status log file
}
sync {
default.rsyncssh, -- uses the rsyncssh defaults Take a look here: https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd/blob/master/default-rsyncssh.lua
delete = false, -- Doesn't delete files on the remote host eventho they're deleted at the source. This might be beneficial for some not for others
source="/Users/alixchristakaze/Desktop", -- Your source directory to watch
host="", -- The remote host (use hostname or IP)
targetdir="", -- the target dir on remote host, keep in mind this is absolute path
rsync = {
binary = "/usr/local/bin/rsync",
archive = true, -- use the archive flag in rsync
perms = true, -- Keep the permissions
owner = true, -- Keep the owner
_extra = {"-a"}, -- Sometimes permissions and owners isn't copied correctly so the _extra can be used for any flag in rsync
},
maxProcesses = 1 -- We only want to use a maximum of 1 rsync processes at same time
}
I get this error when I run this command: lsyncd /var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.lua
Warn: Using /dev/fsevents which is considered an OSX internal interface.
Warn: Functionality might break across OSX versions (This is for 10.5.X)
Warn: A hanging Lsyncd might cause Spotlight/Timemachine doing extra work.
Error: Cannot access /dev/fsevents monitor! (1:Operation not permitted)
As you can see I added this line binary = "/usr/local/bin/rsync", hoping it would tell system to use the rsync I installed through homebrew. However, I am getting the error above.
I have the latest mac version 10.12.3 and my rsync version is 3.1.2 . What am I doing wrong?
