rsync - Feb 2010 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 7095] New: rsync doesn't sync extended attributes

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7095

           Summary: rsync doesn't sync extended attributes
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: joerg.sommer at ateo.de
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Hi,

% touch src
% setfattr -n 'user.rsync.%stat' -v '40755 0,0 0:0' src
% getfattr -d src 
# file: src
user.rsync.%stat="40755 0,0 0:0"

% rsync -aHAX src dst
% getfattr -d dst
%

Even if I've used the option -X, rsync didn't sync the extended
attribute of
the file.

Bye, J?rg.

You cite a fake-super attribute, which rsync does not consider to be a real
xattr (since it was not present in the original copy).  Either do another
fake-super copy, or use -XX, which includes even internal extended attributes.

Sadly, the manpage fails to mention the use of -XX, which I just fixed in the
git repo.

I don't accept this reasoning.  When --fake-super is off, I do not expect
rsync
to display any awareness of the special xattr names used by its fake-super
mode.  Is there any case in which it is useful for rsync to drop those xattrs?
