Upgrading rsync

  • Hi all,



    I noticed that OMV's rsync is only version 3.0.9 while the latest version around is 3.1.1.


    Is there a way to force OMV to install a newer version of rsync? Thanks.

    Upgrade to omv 3.x will get 3.1.1.


    Why do you need the newer version of rsync?

    omv 7.0.4-2 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.5 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.10 | compose 7.1.2 | k8s 7.0-6 | cputemp 7.0 | mergerfs 7.0.3


    omv-extras.org plugins source code and issue tracker - github

  • I'm upgrading my Data and Parity drives for my Snapraid.


    Snapraid's manual suggests that I use either CP or or Rsync. It also had a note there that Rsync version should be at least version 3.1.0.


    I prefer to use Rsync so I would know its progress using the --progress option.



    Is there a way to perhaps install rsync using a different repository? Can you please point me to the right direction.



    One more thing, if I install something in OMV using a different repository, will it break OMV?



    I'm just a little bit concerned that if I make some changes to the rsync then some OMV functionalities might be affected. Thanks.

    This is generally a bad idea. Why do you not want to upgrade to OMV 3.x?

    Depends on what repository. If you are talking about a Jessie repository, it will break OMV 2.x.

  • You replies are much appreciated. Thank you so much.


    I decided to just take a dive and upgrade my OMV instead.


    OMV and its Forum really rocks!! Thank you so much.
