Hello trusty rsync list, I'm excited about --fake-super as it will replace too much work with none at all. I have gotten it to work under linux and I have a fair grasp with what is happening there. I have a problem, though, and that is, in the long term, I'll need to archive my Linux systems not to a Linux box, but to a Solaris 10 box. I understand that Solaris does have extended attributes of sorts, but when configuring rsync 3 under Solaris, attribute support doesn't appear to be enabled:
-bash-3.00$ ./configure --prefix=/home/coreyfro | grep attr checking sys/attr.h usability... no checking sys/attr.h presence... no checking for sys/attr.h... no checking for getxattr... no checking for extattr_get_link... no checking for setattrlist... no checking attr/xattr.h usability... no checking attr/xattr.h presence... no checking for attr/xattr.h... no checking sys/xattr.h usability... no checking sys/xattr.h presence... no checking for sys/xattr.h... no checking sys/extattr.h usability... no checking sys/extattr.h presence... no checking for sys/extattr.h... no checking whether to support extended attributes... no I am not a Solaris guy. Infact, I coined a term to describe me to a tee<http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gnuub>. Can rsync work it's --fake-super mojo on Solaris? Can anyone tell me how to make Solaris extended attributes interface rsync 3 happily? A brief explanation is fine. I just need enough common language so that I can hold a conversation with our Solaris guy.
