I have a problem similar to this bug, not sure if it is the same bug or not, the consequences in my case are killing off a daily snapshot mechanism. As mentioned in the Concern rsync failing to find attributes... thread, I am doing an rsync from A-B while excluding files in a --compare-dest

2010-01-17 Thread Linda A. Walsh
It would be 'nice' if there was an option for rsync to ignore case -- Windows is real lax about what case files are, and often files will end up with different cases depending on what util installed a font last. When you transfer to linux, you end up with 2 (or more) copies of files with

I was just thinking -- would it be possible to just 'emulate' xattrs on systems that don't support them natively with a --Xe switch -- that would store the xattrs in a file .filename.xattr in the same dir as the copied file. The switch only be paid attention to on systems that don't support

I have a similar problem, but it is also in the 'find' command on a windows box. Are you, per chance, running the cygwin port of rsync? Whether or not, you might try a simple experiment -- see if you can move the affected file(s) using Explorer Windows. Also check if you can see the correct
