Hello wonderful rsync I have a little problem... I sync a file system with this command: rsync -avzAXH --filter="-r *.jpg *.opml *.opml.backup *.m3u" --delete-after --exclude=MP3s /home/Music/ /misc/bigdisk.mythtv.lan/Music /misc/bigdisk.mythtv.lan is an nfs mount mounted by autofs. In /etc/auto.misc I have for /misc/bigdisk.mythtv.lan: bigdisk.mythtv.lan -fstype=nfs4 192.168.1.105:/bigdisk For /bigdisk I have in /etc/exports on 192.168.1.105: /NFS4exports 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0) /NFS4exports/bigdisk 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,nohide,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) My little problem is that with the above rsync command this file, for instance: /home/Music/FLACs/Billy_Bragg/Back_to_Basics$ ls -al 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac -rw-rw-rw-. 1 morgan morgan 16950902 2010-03-07 17:36 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac Becomes this file: /misc/bigdisk.mythtv.lan/Music/FLACs/Billy_Bragg/Back_to_Basics$ ls -al 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac -rw-------. 1 4294967294 4294967294 16950902 2010-03-07 17:36 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac Which is this file on 192.168.1.105 (mythtv.lan): [root at mythtv Back_to_Basics]# ls -al 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac -rw-------. 1 1000 1000 16950902 Mar 7 2010 01-billy_bragg-the_milkman_of_human_kindness.flac Note the change in permissions... Does anyone have any idea where/how to change this so the permissions stay the same? Many thanks, M. -- Morgan Read NEW ZEALAND <mailto:mstuffATreadDOTorgDOTnz> Confused about DRM?
