Fwd: Mirror issues?

[Charles Chambers]

Never mind.  I'm stupid.

The script line setting ownership of the repositories to a known state
needs to execute from /media/8TB, or it needs to specify /media/8TB/* :

chown -R charles:charles /media/8TB/*

I've been executing the script from /home/charles (user home directory)
rather than from /media/8TB, so the error message is telling me that
/home/charles has no files for which changing ownership is valid.  The
directory /home/charles indeed has NO files, so the error is indeed valid.

Here's the script at this point.  I have two of them (one for cdimages, one
for packages), but they both work the same.



==================

while [ 1 ]

do

#Download archives
#    rsync -a --progress --delete rsync://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ubuntu
/media/8TB/ubuntu-mirror
#    rsync -a --progress --delete rsync://
mirrors.syringanetworks.net/ubuntu-archive /media/8TB/ubuntu-mirror
     rsync -a --progress --delete rsync://mirror.arizona.edu/ubuntu
/media/8TB/ubuntu-mirror
     chown -R charles:charles *

# Download ISO
#     rsync -a --progress --delete rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage
/media/8TB/ubuntu-cdimage
#     chown -R charles:charles *
#  Check for errors/abends

     if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
           echo "rsync completed normally"
           exit
     else
           echo "rsync failure.  Retrying..."
           sleep 600
     fi

done
