Hello,
I'm setting up a Linux backup server for Windows Workstations, using
rsync-2.6.3pre1+acl on the server and cygwin rsync-2.6.2-2 on the
Workstations. At this point, I don't care about perserving the acls ; I
only want to preserve the ownership of the files. My server is running
in daemon mode as root, and winbindd (from samba 3.0.6) is running correctly : I can get all the users entries from my W2k PDC with "gentent passwd", their uid beeing mapped to the 10000-20000 range. Here is my /etc/rsyncd.conf file :
[backup] path = /backuptest uid = root gid = root read only = false
My test directory on W2k and all its content are owned by DOMAIN\testuser, which is a domain administrator.
When I run the following command under cygwin:
rsync -avP testdir $BACKUPserver::backuptest
... the directory is owned by 544:root on the Linux server. Samba shows the owner as S-12345-etc.
I've tried --numeric-ids with exactly the same result. This is annoying since a would like to use quota on the backup partition.
Is there any way to work aroubnd this problem ?
