Hello All, I am seeing far too often this error in lbackup.
"rsync: unpack_smb_acl: sys_acl_get_info(): Unknown error: 0 (0)" Some research discovers that it is due to a permissions / ACL error when R-Sync tries to set the permissions on the file. "That error occurs when rsync tries to set an ACE specifying a user that does not exist. Here's what happens: 1) Read ACE on source file --> on Mac OS X, the user or group of the ACE is stored using the user or group's UUID 2) Convert UUID to uid/gid using mbr_uuid_to_id, also store which type it is (e.g. user or group) 3) [transfer file] 4) Convert uid/gid to UUID using mbr_uid_to_uuid or mbr_gid_to_uuid 5) Set ACE on destination file " What I have also discovered is that this is unnecessary on Mac OS X not to mention undesirable. This becomes a particular problem when you delete a user and then suddenly you need to remove all trace of that user in any file permissions (including their home folder). The problem is finding the offending file. I was wondering if this error could be rectified altogether, or at the very least, could LBackup log the offending file/s so I don't have to go searching for a needle in a hay stack. It happened to me recently on a server and I couldn't find the files causing the issue, so I ended up spending 3 or 4 hours redoing the permissions and then watching lbakcup do a full backup of the system to make sure it works. Does anyone have any tips for correcting this issue quickly? Any chance of a fix?
