I have two hosts which have their respective keys loaded into each others .ssh/authorized-keys2 file for root. I want to move a directory tree from one host to the other via rsync to maintain a shadow structure of the application provided on the main host.
This is the relevant part of the command:
rsync -avz --rsh=ssh --delete-after /var/data/pas-redmine root@inet01.mississauga.harte-lyne.ca:/var/data
The connection is made and a good deal of material is successfully transferred. I am however getting a number of permission errors:
rsync: readlink "/var/data/pas-redmine/lib/tabular_form_builder.rb" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: readlink "/var/data/pas-redmine/lib/redmine.rb" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: readlink "/var/data/pas-redmine/lib/diff.rb" failed: Permission denied (13)
and many more:
The permissions and owner for these are: -rw-r--r-- 1 pas pas 2341 May 9 13:57 \ /var/data/pas-redmine/lib/tabular_form_builder.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 pas pas 7934 May 9 13:57 \ /var/data/pas-redmine/lib/redmine.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 pas pas 5602 May 9 13:57 \ /var/data/pas-redmine/lib/diff.rb ...
The host application directory structure is a checked out svn repository, but some of the files that are giving errors are created locally such as the database dump file. I am at a loss to explain this since the rsync and ssh user, so far as I can tell, is root and this, so far as I understand, should allow unrestricted access to the files regardless of the ownership or permissions.
If someone can clue me in as to what I am misapprehending here I would be much appreciative.
