Title: failure to create necessary directories on localhost? Post by: Luis on February 17, 2007, 11:35:12 AM (I think this is a bug, but not completely sure.)
So I'm trying to get data off s3. The data looks something like: /data/foo/foo/bar.txt /data/foo/foo/baz.txt the directory: /data/foo/ contains only subdirectories; no files. when I try to do: ruby s3sync.rb -r --delete mybucket:/data/ /home/me/data-test I get: Could not mkdir /home/me/data-test/foo/foo: No such file or directory - /home/me/data-test/foo/foo /home/me/data-test/ exists; I think it is failing because data-test/foo/ doesn't exist, and it is trying to create data-test/foo/foo/ without creating data-test/foo/ first. Is this a bug? Silliness on my end? I'm pretty sure bug, but maybe there is a subtlety/design decision I'm missing here. Title: Re: failure to create necessary directories on localhost? Post by: Luis on February 17, 2007, 11:37:28 AM Forgot to add that if I create the local directory /home/me/data-test/foo/ that it works fine. But if I have to manually create every directory which has no files in it, that isn't going to scale very well :/
Title: Re: failure to create necessary directories on localhost? Post by: ferrix on February 17, 2007, 10:04:28 PM Did you *upload* the files using s3sync.rb? If so, then directory nodes should have been placed which would, upon retreival, do all the correct local dir creation.
Title: Re: failure to create necessary directories on localhost? Post by: ulbrich on July 26, 2007, 06:49:36 AM I had the same problem of syncing data from s3 to a local filesystem where the data *never* was before: The missing directories are simply not created on the fly.
To fix this insert the following in the require section: require 'ftools' And add File.makedirs() as follows: def updateFrom(fromNode) if fromNode.respond_to?(:to_stream) fName = @path + '.s3syncTemp' File.makedirs(File.dirname(@path)) # This is the important part! [...] end Perhapes, this could make it to the next release, please? Best regards, Jan Title: Re: failure to create necessary directories on localhost? Post by: ferrix on November 17, 2007, 08:46:23 PM Not promiscuously creating directories locally when there are no dir nodes stored @S3 for them is a design decision. Dow would it know what permissions and owner to use, etc.
