Hi,
I wonder if anyone can confirm if they've been able to successfully transfer
xattrs with rsync to a Solaris (based) system (in this case Nexenta Core 3). I
managed to get rsync to build with xattr support on Nexenta by using 3.0.10dev,
and running rsync --version shows that it's included. However if I try to
rsync files from a Mac OS X (10.6) system to the Nexenta system (or vice versa)
none of the xattrs are transferred although I don't get any errors back.
The command I'm trying is basically:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -azvu --xattrs --delete --protect-args
--rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" user at
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Users/user/test /tank/dedup/
The xattrs on the files I'm transferring are successfully retained if I
transfer them using CIFS, so it's nothing related to the filesystem at the
other side. Is it just a case that the Solaris xattr support isn't
complete/working, or has anyone been able to get it running? I've found the
following bug, but 3.0.10dev does at least think it's got Solaris xattr
support.

Thanks for any help.
