           Summary: xattr support fails with multiples attributes
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core

When I try to use -X option with a patched rsync (using XFS as file system), I
obtain this when a file have multiple user attributes:

[root@Chakra data]# echo "test" > test_pierre/test.file 
[root@Chakra data]# setfattr -n user.test1 -v testval1 test_pierre/test.file 
[root@Chakra data]# setfattr -n user.test2 -v testval2 test_pierre/test.file 
[root@Chakra data]# getfattr test_pierre/test.file 
# file: test_pierre/test.file
user.test1
user.test2

[root@Chakra data]# rsync -AavX -P -W --numeric-ids --delete --force
test_pierre/ gargamel:/data/test_pierre/

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(791)

File is transmitted, but without its attributes.

If I remove an attribute, transmit seems to works fine...

[root@Chakra data]# setfattr -x user.test1 test_pierre/test.file 
[root@Chakra data]# getfattr test_pierre/test.file 
# file: test_pierre/test.file
user.test2

[root@Chakra data]# rsync -AavX -P -W --numeric-ids --delete --force
test_pierre/ gargamel:/data/test_pierre/

...but the attribute value and name is not ever kept in the other side :

[root@Chakra test_pierre]# getfattr -n user.test4 test.file3 
# file: test.file3
user.test4="testval4"

[root@Chakra data]# rsync -AavX -P -W --numeric-ids --delete --force
test_pierre/ gargamel:/data/test_pierre/

[root@Gargamel test_pierre]# getfattr test.file3 
# file: test.file3
user.ARTE

[root@Gargamel test_pierre]# getfattr -n user.ARTE test.file3 
# file: test.file3
user.ARTE="h"

[root@Gargamel test_pierre]# getfattr -n user.test4 test.file3 
test.file3: user.test4: No such attribute

I set an attribute named "ARTE" for an other file in an other sync
before. I
can't understand why it uses it now.
