[SOLVED] rsync doesnt work on nfs shares

Rasi · 2012-01-02 15:40:04

Ok, i have a nfs4 set up and i can copy files, delete files and move files around just fine from my desktop to my nas.

But as soon as i want to use rsync to sync directories it fails with this message:

rsync: chown "/mnt/nas/Audio/Rips/flac/Anthrax" failed: Invalid argument (22)

the user i am copying with is the very same on both systems:

[carnager@archnas ~]$ id
uid=1000(carnager) gid=100(users)

[carnager@freebox ~]$ id
uid=1000(carnager) gid=100(users)

One thing that i noticed is this:
When i do a "ls -l" on the mounted nas directory i get an output like this:

[carnager@freebox ~]$ ls -l /mnt/nas/ | tail -1
drwxr-xr-x 8 4294967294 4294967294  4096 Dec 31 18:03 Video

where it normally should show my username and group.

Any ideas?

The wiki has the answer - at least for those funky numbers. Hope it solves your rsync issue.

ok, then i probably know my problem, but not how to solve it:

[carnager@freebox ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start
:: Mounting pipefs filesystem                                            [DONE] 
:: Starting rpc.idmapd daemon                                            [FAIL]

Run rpc.idmapd verbosely in the foreground and check the output for errors - man rpc.idmapd for more details.

success! idmapd was still running and needed to be killed. now it works!
