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 wrote:

Hi Jonathan,

thank you for the tips. It worked.

I would ask: why they don't enable xxhash support for rsync? There is a technical reason?

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 https://wiki.almalinux.org/Mirrors.html for instructions.

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. _______________________________________________ AlmaLinux Users mailing list -- users@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users@lists.almalinux.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users-leave@lists.almalinux.org
