Hi,
I use rsync 3.0.4 on two opensuse 11 machines.
Every night, a big tree of machine A is synced to machine B.
These machines are samba PDC and BDC, users and groups are ldap-based,
and ACLs are heavily used. There are about 2.8 million files and dirs,
2.2 terabytes of data, and a complete ACL list produced with getfacl has
some 600 megabytes.
I've just noticed that ACLs get partially corrupted on the receiving
side. This is my command line, running as root:
/usr/bin/rsync --quiet --links --numeric-ids --acls --perms --times
--recursive --owner --group --delete-during --ignore-errors --backup
--backup-dir=/wzb/backup/wzb= --password-file=/etc/wzb/rsync/password
--filter '- /backup/' rsync://selene.wzb.eu/wzb /wzb
/wzb has subtrees user, group, software. Wrong ACLs show up in several
places. /wzb/user (home directories) seems ok. Both /wzb/group and
/wzb/software have wrong subentries.
In /wzb/software, all subentry ACLs, both files and dirs, a partially
(but not completely) wrong, and all in the same way.
Example: directory /wzb/software/aida
This is as should be:
# file: aida
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:users:r-x
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:users:r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---
This is what happens:
# file: aida
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:spura:rwx
group::---
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:users:r-x
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---
It looks like the lines
group::r-x
group:users:r-x
are replaced by
user:spura:rwx
group::---
The latter is a (partial) ACL from /wzb/user/spura, the "spura" person's
home dir.
The very same thing happens to all files and dirs below /wzb/software.
User "spura" is completely wrong here.
Further observations:
- At the next rsync run, same thing occurs but with a different(!) user.
- The number of ACL entries remains unchanged.
- Only existing users show up in the wrong ACLs.
- rsync happens to backup the /wzb/user and /wzb/group subtrees first,
making it understandable that the wrong ACLs parts are somewhere in
rsync's memory.
- If I rsync the /wzb/software branch alone, everything is ok.
- It does not matter whether or not I use --numeric-ids.
