Hi! I'm new here, so I ask for your patience :) Some xattrs can't be copied between filesystems. For instance, compressed btrfs has a "btrfs.compression" xattr. When rsync -X is used in this situation, it exits with error code 23 (partial file/attr), which seems dangerous to be ignored.
Would it be reasonable to filter filesystem-specific flags when transferring to a different filesystem by default (I'm not sure all fs follows the same namespace, but maybe they start with "filesystem.*"?)? Maybe -XX could be used to force it. Thanks, -- Luis Fernando -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
