--- Comment #6 from SATOH Fumiyasu <fumi...@osstech.co.jp> --- You can reproduce this bug by the following: # rm -rf src dst # mkdir src dst # touch src/f # setfattr -n security.a -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA src/f # setfattr -n user.a -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA src/f # rsync --fake-super -X src/f dst [sender] could not find xattr #1 for f rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at xattrs.c(622) [sender=3.1.2] In the first case, "security.a" and "user.a" have 33 bytes each other. If "security.a" and/or "user.a" is reduced to 32 or shorter, rsync does not fail as the following: # rm -rf src dst # mkdir src dst # touch src/f # setfattr -n security.a -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA src/f # setfattr -n user.a -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA= src/f # rsync --fake-super -X src/f dst (no output, thus no error) And then, if you change "user.a" to "user.s" (or "user.t", "user.u" ...) from the first case, rsync does not fail too: # rm -rf src dst # mkdir src dst # touch src/f # setfattr -n security.a -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA src/f # setfattr -n user.s -v 0sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA src/f # rsync --fake-super -X src/f dst (no output, thus no error) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
