Hi Eric,
The umask would be preferable to using --chmod. Is that possible?
You're right about the inheritance of course, my bad.
I originally noticed it writing to a ZFS filesystem that is NFS4 mounted, where
inheritance is set to passthrough. Hence my confusion
Regards
John

Ryan,
I'm not sure what you expect to happen since for most filesystems
there is no concept of "permission inheritance" in unix-like operating
systems. Rather, newly created files obey the currently set umask (usually
022). Are you saying you want rsync to use your current umask instead of
passing the --chmod argument?

Hi,
I’m trying to rsync from an IBM SONAS, that has no POSIX ACLs.
I thought that without the –p flag, this should still work, and the
destination will just inherit permissions, however, it doesn’t.
My source directory on the SONAS looks like:
~$ ls -la /net/sonas/directory
d--------- 2 user group 36 Oct 9 12:59 ./
d--------- 2 user group 36 Oct 9 12:59 ../
---------- 2 user group 36 Oct 9 12:59 file
(I can still read/write files and dirs, it just looks like I can't)
If I try to rsync this like:
Rsync –rlt /net/sonas/directory /tmp/
The directory is created in /tmp/ and then the ACLs on the directory, and
the files in it are set to ---------, then rsync fails, because it can’t
read the directory
rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/tmp/directory/file": Permission
denied (13)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors)
(code 23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]
I can get around it by doing:
rsync -rlt --chmod=u+rwx,g+rx /net/sonas/directory /tmp/
but that's not really satisfactory, as I'd just like it to inherit the
destination permissions.
Does anyone know a better way?
Thanks in advance
John
