Some of my users have reported problems with rsync puking on locked
folders. The errors typically look like this:
rsync -aNHAXx --fileflags --force-change --no-inc-recursive / /Volumes/
Backup
rsync: mkstemp "/Volumes/SCSI Backup/Users/Ken/Library/Caches/
Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/..DS_Store.N9xtNy" failed: Operation not
permitted (1) (51)
rsync: mkstemp "/Volumes/SCSI Backup/Users/Ken/Library/Caches/
Metadata/Safari/History/..DS_Store.7emP4V" failed: Operation not
permitted (1) (51)
Presumably rsync is unable to create the temporary files in the folder
on the target because it is locked. For the life of me, I can't
reproduce this issue, nor could I figure out how it could be happening
based on how rsync handles locked directories with the --force-change
argument. The patch pasted in below seems to resolve it though. Any
insight would be appreciated.
