I was talking about saving the Linux filesystem info. Do your rsync to the NAS, then do a recursive getfacl, redirecting the output to a file on the NAS. When you do an rsync back from the NAS, correct the owner/perms with setfacl. Trouble is that I CAN'T do my rsync to the NAS drive

root is owing the files because the user root mounted the share. if you want to support unix file ownership in your rsync you should use NFS if the unit supports that. to change the group ownership, pass the -o gid=some_group on your mount -t cifs command. you can also use uid= and to use
