Hello trusty rsync list,
I'm excited about --fake-super as it will replace too much work with none at
all. I have gotten it to work under linux and I have a fair grasp with what
is happening there. I have a problem, though, and that is, in the long
term, I'll need to archive my Linux systems not to a Linux box, but to a
Solaris 10 box. I understand that Solaris does have extended attributes of
sorts, but when configuring rsync 3 under Solaris, attribute support doesn't
appear to be enabled:
-bash-3.00$ ./configure --prefix=/home/coreyfro | grep attr
checking sys/attr.h usability... no
checking sys/attr.h presence... no
checking for sys/attr.h... no
checking for getxattr... no
checking for extattr_get_link... no
checking for setattrlist... no
checking attr/xattr.h usability... no
checking attr/xattr.h presence... no
checking for attr/xattr.h... no
checking sys/xattr.h usability... no
checking sys/xattr.h presence... no
checking for sys/xattr.h... no
checking sys/extattr.h usability... no
checking sys/extattr.h presence... no
checking for sys/extattr.h... no
checking whether to support extended attributes... no
I am not a Solaris guy. Infact, I coined a term to describe me to a
tee<http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gnuub>.
Can rsync work it's --fake-super mojo on Solaris? Can anyone tell me how to
make Solaris extended attributes interface rsync 3 happily? A brief
explanation is fine. I just need enough common language so that I can hold
a conversation with our Solaris guy.
Thanks
