Can we hide the "File has vanished" warning ?
This is generatig too much noise for garbage :/


/etc/cron.daily/zzz_evobackup:
    file has vanished: "/home/foo/bar/baz"
    (...)
    rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1196) [sender=3.1.2]

It looks like this :

#!/bin/bash

IGNOREEXIT=24
IGNOREOUT='^(file has vanished: |rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred)'

set -o pipefail

rsync "${@}" 2>&1 | (egrep -v "$IGNOREOUT" || true)
ret=$?

if [[ $ret == $IGNOREEXIT ]]; then
    ret=0
fi

exit $ret

Do you think we should embed this in the backup script, use the wrapper as an external script or don't use this at all?

Rsync itself doesn't offer a way to filter those warnings, but the issue is so common that they provided a wrapper script to eliminate them : https://git.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=blob_plain;f=support/rsync-no-vanished;hb=HEAD It looks like this : ``` #!/bin/bash IGNOREEXIT=24 IGNOREOUT='^(file has vanished: |rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred)' set -o pipefail rsync "${@}" 2>&1 | (egrep -v "$IGNOREOUT" || true) ret=$? if [[ $ret == $IGNOREEXIT ]]; then ret=0 fi exit $ret ``` Do you think we should embed this in the backup script, use the wrapper as an external script or don't use this at all?
