Internally we use ID numbers, but the code tries to translate them based on names. Obviously there is something wrong in this instance. You can work around the problem in the 2.6.0 release by omitting the options to preserve user and group, like this: rsync -av hostb:popt aaa rsync -rpltv --link-dest=$PWD/aaa hostb:popt bbb I assume that older versions of rsync would still exhibit the problem (since we have a patch relating to this in the upcoming 2.6.0). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
