I am wanting to rsync over mac files to a freebsd 4.5 box, but have recently found out that rsync does not preserve resource forks, or creator types and maybe some other things. But, has anybody had any experience like this, would tar'ing the files and then rsync'ing that seem a worthwhile solution. There's a lot, so testing is going slowly. Thanks!
