Hi, Does anyone know if smb 3.0 supports the network file transfer of files with extended attributes and retains them? I want to do a backup from one server, SOURCE, to another server, DEST, and I want the extended attributes to be intact. I have been doing some research on protocols that I can use to do this file copy, but I have not had any luck. If anyone has any suggestions or can direct me to some helpful resources, please let me know. I could use some help on this matter. Thanks, Eric echen@ateonix.com

Something like: star cpvf - /some/share | ssh DEST "star xpvf - /some/share" but look up the star syntax. This might be faster than a typical Samba file copy. Or, dump the ACLs into a flat file. Instructions on doing this are on acl.bestbits.at. Good luck, /dev/idal __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
