Hi all, I'm trying to transfer data from the old fileserver to the new cluster using rsync. Depending on how I define the source path either the folder acls are transfered or the file acls. This command preserves the file acls: # rsync -AavXz --numeric-ids --delete /winhome root at 192.168.178.10:/glusterfs with this command the folder acls are copied: # rsync -AavXz --numeric-ids --delete /winhome/* root at 192.168.178.10:/glusterfs/winhome/ Setup is the following: OS: old: Debian 11, new: Debian 12 rsync Version on both hosts: root at fs01:~# rsync --version rsync? version 3.2.7? protocol version 31 Copyright (C) 1996-2022 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

What am i missing here? Any help is highly appreciated. Best regards Daniel
