I’m trying to use Rsync to keep specific folders on my wdtv livehub up to date, and it’s been fairly happy (I thought) until I noticed that it had stopped working -
rsync: mkstemp “/media/WDTV/downloads/.new media transfer.mkv.fo75A8” failed: Operation not permitted (1)
I can’t find the temp file that’s been created while looking at the mounted samba share - but the wdtv keeps reporting ‘getting content info’ every time I try to trigger a file transfer
Yeah - running the command on my Pi where I’ve mounted the WDTV as a samba share
I normally list all files using ls -la, and I’m dropping everything into a sub folder so it shouldn’t need to modify .wd_tv - I’ve changed the rsync command to:
So removing time sync solves the immediate permissions issue - I just like to be difficult and bump the last modified time on the folder, so it sits first when sorting
I might disable twonky as I have an inkling that that might be one of the issues
Yeah - I tried CP, but I’m more comfortable mounting the share and using rsync
this way I’ve got fairly good reporting through my scripts - and I can have a single script syncing to multiple devices around the house - I’m sure my wife thinks I’m batty, but there’s method to my madness
It looks like the issue occurs when the WDTV tries to fetch the metadata - equally it could simply be that it won’t allow you to tweak dates on folders and files
I’m happy that it’s working as it is now, and it seems nice and fast
