AlmaLinux 9.1 and rsync problem
Hey there, I'm using AlmaLinux 9.1 as my backup server using a script. I noticed that if I run: rsync --cc=xxh128.... it reports: unknown checksum name: xxh128 while inside the rsync manual page this checksum is documented. Running rsync --version I get: Checksum list: md5 md4 none Seems that other checksum type where disabled on compilation but reported on documentation. The absence of xxh128/xxh64 is a bug or them are disabled by default on compilation? Thank you in advance.
RHEL by default does not compile in xxhash support for rsync. We maintain a repo with the (as of now) latest rsync version and xxhash support enabled. You're welcome to use this. See point 2 at https://wiki.almalinux.org/Mirrors.html for instructions. On Thu, Apr 13, 2023 at 8:52 AM Alessandro Baggi <alessandro.baggi@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm honestly not sure. Sometimes they are hesitant to enable new features until they're a bit more proven in the wild. On Thu, Apr 13, 2023 at 9:21 AM Alessandro Baggi <alessandro.baggi@gmail.com> wrote:
