--- Comment #15 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> --- rsync's -a specifically does not include -A or -X because these are not supported by all versions of rsync, or on all platforms, or on all filesystems, and they can be disabled at compile time. If you specify -A or -X and either end doesn't support them you get an error. -H is also not included in -a but I personally would be happy if it were. Again, from the man page: -a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
