-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, opensuse 13.2 linux v3.16.7-7-desktop x86_64 rsync v3.1.1
I used rsync to copy /usr/ to another volume with these options: - --recursive --one-file-system --links --stats --itemize-changes - --quiet --delete --times After I had modified the system to use the new /usr volume, I realized I should have added: - --perms --owner --group --executability So the target volume has everything set as "root root", and useful bits like the SetUID mode are missing. Is there a way to use rsync to restore only the permissions/owner/user and mode flags on the target volume from the source volume? - -- James Moe moe dot james at sohnen-moe dot com 520.743.3936 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlU21zQACgkQzTcr8Prq0ZODbQCgj4qBX6TPPRisa8ooARiY+vK7 AIsAn3AANSRS1lFWUWORLmmwDqfFRE2z =zuRo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
