I am having two nfs servers across which I am trying to sync files. I have the unison profile sync.prf this way.
root = /home/ubuntu/nfs # shared directory on server1
root = ssh://ubuntu@XX.XX.XX.XX//home/ubuntu/nfs # shared directory on server2
ignore = Name .git
merge = Name /home/ubuntu/nfs/*txt
There is a hello.txt file in server1 as well as in server2. I am trying to merge the content from files across the servers.
While I run the profile using unison sync.prf
, I am getting the failed synchronization. The error is as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu-shivam:~$ unison sync.prf
Contacting server...

Synchronization incomplete at 18:04:36 (0 items transferred, 0 skipped, 1 failed)

I have tried implementing the merge option in following some ways, but not getting the successful synchronization.
Path /home/ubuntu/nfs = update
*.txt update
*.txt = update
Name /home/ubuntu/nfs/*.txt
/home/ubuntu/nfs = update
Name /home/ubuntu/nfs/*.txt = merge=update
Path /home/ubuntu/nfs = merge=update
merge = diff3 -m /home/ubuntu/nfs/*.txt OLD /home/ubuntu/nfs/*txt > NEW
Kindly someone help me with the issue.
Your syntax for the merge
option isn't correct. It should look something like
merge = Name *txt -> diff3 -m CURRENT1 CURRENTARCH CURRENT2 > NEW
See the see the Merging Conflicting Versions section of the Unison Manual for details and examples.
