Numeric ids will show up instead of user names if you don't have a
username in the password file for a given userid. The O/S doesn't know in
that case what to display, so it just displays the raw id number. This
wouldn't seem to explain the situation in question, though, since it's a local
copy. Perhaps your source files have invalid userids from the
get-go???

I just realized that this was a local copy, and the
other symptom, numeric uids showing on the ls, for users which exist, and some
which show none at all, indicate a problem with your operating system.
The only time i've ever seen blank uids was with a corrupt filesystem.
My particular case was a failing drive. I suppose you could fake
up blank usernames by creating a user named "asdf^h^h^h^h ", but
i'm guessing that's not the case here.Tim

Subject:rsync not copying
owner/group on some files Classification:
I am trying to use rsync 2.4.6 to try
creating a backup using another locally connected hard disk. Thing
copy, but sometimes the group is eith numeric (valid). Often the owner
is not even shown. This is the command I use for
rsync: rsync-2.4.6/rsync -arxlHpogDt /usr/
/backup/usr/ --delete I login as root.
Any help would be appreciated. --
