I'm really excited about the recent work on extended attributes. I've
compiled 2.6.9 with xattr support, and run a few tests. It seems that
if I have a file with an extended attribute ( a resource fork in this
case), and I run rsync -aX , the mtime is not preserved.
Is this the expected behaviour?
No. However, it works for me:
ottawa:~/rsync/cvs terpstra$ ./rsync -ax peanut peanut2
ottawa:~/rsync/cvs terpstra$ ./rsync -axX peanut peanut3
ottawa:~/rsync/cvs terpstra$ stat peanut*

What filesystem are you using? I've tried HFS+ and UFS and both
seemed to work.
Looking over the code, it does write extended attributes after
setting the mtime, but I wouldn't have thought this would matter.
Indeed, on my computer, it doesn't.
