I've been using a 2.6.2 that I modified myself to get ACLs as I like. I'm trying now to get back into the public version of rsync, but am finding difficulties.
This one seems pretty basic. It's on a CentOS 4.5 machine with rsync rpm rsync-3.0.4-1.el4.rf and kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.plus.c4. After the operation, f1 and f2 should have identical ACLs. They don't.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] t]# I originally discovered this in a network copy which uses link-dest. The previous copy of the file has the correct/complete ACL, and the link-dest logic sees this as different from the "new" copy result so a new copy of the file - with the wrong ACL - is written. Is this somehow desired behavior, or is there some option combination that can be applied to "fix" this so that the copied ACL truly matches the source? Thanks...
