Hello, I've compiled a fresh copy of rsync 3.0.2 (version info below) on MacOSX Leopard Server 10.5.1 and am doing an rsync of the whole system like this:
/bin/rsync302 -axX / /Volumes/appserv02/2008-14/ --exclude=/Network --exclude=/net --exclude=/home It works OK, but returns with a failure error code, and the following errors relating to files with sockets. rsync: get_xattr_names: llistxattr("private/etc/racoon/racoon.sock",1024) failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: get_xattr_names: llistxattr("private/etc/racoon/vpncontrol.sock",1024) failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: get_xattr_names: llistxattr("private/tmp/ARD_ABJMMRT",1024) failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1031) [sender=3.0.2] Is there any way to get rsync to ignore sockets like this, so the backup with rsync returns with a success status code?
