Symlinks in OS X (10.4.1)
Hi, is there a way to ignore the permissions for symlinks but compare the permissions for regular files and change them accordingly? The problem is that using OS X every time I run rsync it tries to update the permissions for the symlinks but the changes are not made since OS X has no support for symlink permissions. Therefore it would like to somehow ignore symlink permissions.

DO NOT REPLY [Bug 5020] New: hang using RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5020
Summary: hang using RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Seen on i386 version 2.6.9 and x86_64 version 3.0.0pre2, similar behavior.
Using an SSH tunnel through a firewall works fine.
Using RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG sometimes works fine, but most often hangs while
downloading files.

PATCH: preserve osx creation-date (was: Using pre2 for backing up a mac)
On Oct 13, 2007, at 4:07 PM, Wesley W. Terpstra wrote:
rsync 3pre2 now handles all but three items:
1. bsd flags
2. locked flag (supposedly finder meta-data)
3. creation date
The creation date is AFAIK a mac os specific piece of meta-data and
can be accessed via the set/getattrlist + ATTR_CMN_CRTIME system
call on a mac. Again, this meta-data might be reasonably converted
into an extended attribute.
I've attached a patch which does this. Currently resource forks and
finder info get placed into an extended attribute transparently by
osx (com.apple.{ResourceFork/FinderInfo}). This patch makes another
extended attribute called com.apple.CreationDate. The only issue
I've found so far is that it gives warning when copying a symlink to
linux as one can't set extended attributes there. It even works when
copying from hfs to fat32 on the same mac. I don't understand where
osx saves the creation date in a fat filesystem, but somehow it works!?
I admit it's a bit hack-ish to put this in the extended attribute get/
set methods, but this mimics the behaviour of the other osx-specific
meta-data. Also, it seems reasonable to me that it should be copied
when '-X' is specified. There is no fgetattrlist method, but it seems
that sys_fgetxattr is actually never used b/c x_fstat is not used.

Attributes on Windows files - not ACL
I'm wondering why I'm having trouble getting attributes like Hidden or System to come across from my Windows rsync under cygwin implementation (2.6.9). I'm using rsync via an ssh tunnel from one Windows machine to the other, rsync version 2.6.9. The options I'm using are -ruvitpAE --super --preallocate --ignore-errors --stats. Transfers work great, I just don't get the target files to have the same Windows file attributes such as hidden file. Note, I'm not talking about the ACL issue commonly discussed in the forums.we just extract those to a text file using fileacl and then capture that file. I can't find a similar way to do file attributes otherwise I'd be happy taking that approach. Thanks for any assistance in advance. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Its purpose is to terminate rsync if something stalls. As long as the transfer is proceeding, it will never timeout.

You'll need to either put the arg into quotes, or use a backslash to escape the space. For a daemon transfer, that will cause the copy to work fine (though in your cited command you are only requesting a file listing, since there is no destination specified). For a non-daemon transfer, rsync does not try to escape spaces in command-line args that it sends to the server process. This can lead to a space-splitting problem with the --link-dest arg if the client is the sender. In 3.0.0 there is now a --protect-args (-s) option that sends the majority of the command-line args across the socket connection, which avoids this space splitting. I don't wish to add any other space-escaping features to the arg passing, as the type of escaping used depends on what shell is used on the remote system. I consider the use -s to be the right solution going forward, and the -s option will eventually become the default (when enough time has passed to make 3.0.0 or later the rule rather than the exception). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Thanks! I've twiddled your patch a bit and checked it in as a file in
the patches dir (for now, at least): osx-create-time.diff
I changed the storing of the data to store the time value as 12 bytes of
binary data -- 8 for the time_t value (for future expansion) and 4 for
the nsec value (which always be 0 at present). The name of the
attribute was changed to com.apple.crtime96 (for the moment) . Since it
is not an official com.apple.* value, I didn't want to use a name that
Apple might choose in the future. The name should probably go in the
rsync.* namespace, but I'd need to move the code for reading and writing
the value out of lib/sysxattrs.c into xattrs.c to do that (I believe).
I also enabled the XATTR_NOFOLLOW option for {get,set}attrlist().

Thank you for the reply! I know about the missing lchmod in OS X, but I don't really see a need for it. Why can't a symlink just have a default permission of 0777? In case the symlink gets dereferenced the target's permissions have to be considered anyway. Of course it is cleaner to have them set properly, but if they are just ignored it won't hurt either.
