Bug#764616: rsync doesn't start during boot up process

[Xoor Bes]

Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.1-2
Severity: important

Debian Release: jessie/sid
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)


I have problem with rsync. I can run int without any problem by hand

/etc/rc2.d# /etc/init.d/rsync start
[ ok ] Starting rsync (via systemctl): rsync.service.

/etc/rc2.d# /etc/init.d/rsync status
rsync.service - fast remote file copy program daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsync.service; disabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2014-10-09 16:29:07 CEST; 6min ago
Main PID: 867 (rsync)
CGroup: /system.slice/rsync.service
867 /usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach

Oct 09 16:29:07 XXXXXXXXXXXX rsyncd[867]: rsyncd version 3.1.1 starting, listening on port 873


/var/log# /etc/init.d/rsync stop
[ ok ] Stopping rsync (via systemctl): rsync.service.



but it doens't start after bootup process... I do not see any information neither in the syslog or on the console screen.

If I try run it like this...

/etc/rc2.d# /etc/rc2.d/S02rsync start
[....] Starting S02rsync (via systemctl): S02rsync.serviceFailed to start S02rsync.service: Unit S02rsync.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
failed!


/etc/rc2.d# /etc/rc2.d/S02rsync status
S02rsync.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)


...It does not start.


/etc/rc2.d# ls -l S02rsync
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 22 23:07 S02rsync -> ../init.d/rsync

/etc/rc2.d# md5sum ../init.d/rsync
c5d89677f904551f5b192f35ad98d73c ../init.d/rsync

/etc/rc2.d# cat /etc/default/rsync |grep -Ev "^#"
RSYNC_ENABLE=true
RSYNC_OPTS=''
RSYNC_NICE=''

After a very little bit of googling: have you done:

systemctl enable rsync

?

You're apparently running systemd, but you're now using the old method
of the symlinks? I don't have any experience with systemd (and I hope to
keep it that way for as long as I can), but I don't think you should be
using the rcX.d/ directories when using systemd.

I hope someone else can help...
That's the problem with systemd apparently, if it doesn't work it's very
hard to find out why.
