--- Comment #4 from tmhik...@gmail.com --- I have been having problems with this bug on 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. To test if the latest version's xattr fixes would affect it, I also built the git version of 3.1.3dev which is git commit 31e93c322865acea7533176c2278b259890662fc but it has not helped. What I am seeing: rsync: rsync_xal_set: lremovexattr(""/media/backup/main/2016-08-09/sys"","security.selinux") failed: Permission denied (13) rsync does not error out, and completes without an errno but prints this message at the end: rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1186) [sender=3.1.3dev] Here is the directory in question on my various backups as well as the actual directory it is attempting to backup: tm@roll:~/src/rsync$ ls -laZd /media/backup/main/2016-*/sys /sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 4096 Jul 21 20:09 /media/backup/main/2016-07-22/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 4096 Jul 26 12:24 /media/backup/main/2016-07-26/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 4096 Jul 29 22:00 /media/backup/main/2016-07-30/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 4096 Aug 3 12:41 /media/backup/main/2016-08-03/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 4096 Aug 6 13:34 /media/backup/main/2016-08-06/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 4096 Aug 9 14:25 /media/backup/main/2016-08-09/sys dr-xr-xr-x. 13 root root system_u:object_r:sysfs_t:s0 0 Aug 9 14:25 /sys I imagine the problem may be related to the fact I am using unusual features such as --link-dest, so I will do some further testing to determine what actually is making rsync goof up with this. -- 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.
