When using the following to keep duplicate files on multiple computers, I find some files have their ACLs changed and cannot then be opened.
I am using the following command. My goal is to be able to read/write/edit any local or remote file from any machine. Until recently this worked just fine, but now some files cannot be opened once rsync'd. rsync -avzh --progress --delete --super -A --exclude='~$*' '/cygdrive/d/claus.a' /cygdrive/x D is the drive on the remote computer I am currently using, X is its mirror on another remote computer. When RSYNC'ing I get the following for the files that will not open, after it shows the file transfers: rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_set_file(claus.a/.rsync commands.txt.1BY2xz, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Invalid argument (22) rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_set_file(claus.a/.test.txt.CA1No2, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Invalid argument (22) On the source machine, the ACLs for files that open and don't open once RSYNC'd are identical. # owner: claus.a (or Administrators in some cases, but files with both owners work & fail) # group: Domain Usersge user::--- group::--- group:root:rwx group:Authenticated Users:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:rwx mask:rwx other:--- However, once RYSNC'd the failing files get "group::rwx". This seems to cause the failure to open. All files (work or fail) lose the entire "group:root:rwx" ACL, but this seems to have no impact. Removing the new ACL with setfacl -m g::--- solves my problem, but this is not a long term solution. Thanks, Andrew
