Summary: rsync always try change owner and group of symlink in
--fake-super mode
Product: rsync
Version: 3.1.2
Hardware: x64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: core

Hi.
I long time discover strange to me behavior. If I add --fake-super
option on both sides rsync start always set owner and group of symlink.
What interesting there no error, but it done each time as it has been
changed.
Simple reproduce:
$ mkdir rsync.symlinks
$ echo 'file content' > rsync.symlinks/file.itself
$ ln -s file.itself rsync.symlinks/file.symlink
Then try to transfer it on remote host:
$ rsync -apr --links --itemize-changes --fake-super -M--fake-super
rsync.symlinks bac...@store.hubbitus.info:~/temp/rsync.symlinks
cd+++++++++ rsync.symlinks/
<f+++++++++ rsync.symlinks/file.itself
cL+++++++++ rsync.symlinks/file.symlink -> file.itself
And again:
.L....og... rsync.symlinks/file.symlink -> file.itself
I had tried use --rsync-path="rsync --fake-super" instead of
-M--fake-super what unsurprisingly give me same result:
$ rsync -apr --links --itemize-changes --fake-super --rsync-path="rsync
--fake-super" rsync.symlinks
bac...@store.hubbitus.info:~/temp/rsync.symlinks
.L....og... rsync.symlinks/file.symlink -> file.itself
I had post it in mail list -
http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/rsync-always-try-change-owner-and-group-of-symlink-in-fake-super-mode-td4692664.html
but does not receive intelligible answer.
Possibly relates to https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10496
With best wishes, Pavel Alexeev.
