Hi guys,
I'm running into a problem that I'm sure which part of the process
fails. I use wget (OSX Leopard, wget 3.0.6 compiled from source) to
backup my ~/Pictures directory to a linux server, also with wget 3.0.6
(Debian). In persuit of being sure I get everything from HFS filesystem
(resource fork/metadata), I'm getting the following error:
rsync: rsync_xal_set:
lsetxattr("Pictures/...[snip].../IMG_7766/IMG_7766.dng","user.com.apple.FinderInfo")
failed: Operation not supported (95)
I have search through the archives and only found this error in what
seemed to be an error relating to selinux (which I'm not using). The
target filesystem is ext3 with acl enabled. The file is written, but
obviously setting the extended attributes fail. I'm using the
following command:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --xattrs --acls --hard-links --fake-super
--delete --exclude */Samples/* -e ssh /Users/kay/Pictures
k...@some.host.tld:/pictures/
I guess the question is two-fold:
1. Am I expecting something that rsync cannot deliver, i.e. storing the
HFS+ specific stuff on an EXT3 filesystem? For information sake, the
same command between two HFS+ filesystems (on the same box) doesn't
produce any errors. I was under the impression that the above command
saves the metadata/xattrs in a format that rsync can read back and pass
back to OSX/HFS+
2. What exactly is the above error telling me? I mean, what is it
trying to do which isn't supported?
Thanks
Kay
