rsync is not copying upper case files
I am running rsync on MacOS 10.3 and I want to transfer files to a linux machine, which has linux partitions and fat32 partitions. Transfering the files to the linux partition works without problems, but if I transfer them to the fat32 partition, files are ignored if all characters in the file name are UPPER CASE. - The files which rsync should transfer do not exist in the target directory. Thus its not a problem with the time resolution of the fat32 system. - The files do not appear as lower case, they are simply not there at all. - If a file name contains one lower case character or special character, then it is copied without problems. Rsync treats filenames as null terminated, / delemited, blobs. It is up to the OS to handle any case or illegal characters. This sounds like a FAT32 bug but there may be a mount option involved. Eliminate OSX from the problem space and contact the Linux FAT32 maintainers. Hi, I have eliminated OSX from the problem space since the same error occures from linux to linux. The only difference is that the linux rsync gives me the (probably unrelated) error message: failed to set permissions on test-sync : Operation not permitted failed to set permissions on test-sync : Operation not permitted rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578) This error message does not occur when transfering to a linux partition, but only when transfering to a fat32 partition. But I could encircle the problem from another side: The problem only occures if I use the --delete-after option in the following command: rsync -aL --delete --delete-after -e ssh test-sync [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/hda8/backup If I don't use the --delete-after option, then the files are copied properly from linux to linux partition and to the fat32 partition. If I use the --delete-after, then UPPER CASE file, when transfered to the fat32 partition are not copied and even deleted, if they already exist. So, I think it is due to the fact that an all UPPER CASE file name is converted to an all lower case file name on the fat32 partition, which then, since the original file name was different, is instantly deleted when --delete-after was chosen. So my guess is that this could cause the problem. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So my guess is that this could cause the problem. Good guess. Rsync requires a filesystem to not modify file names. I can understand the intention in translating allcaps filenames to lower case while preserving mixed case filenames but there should be a mount option to turn that off. The second part of my advice still applies: contact the Linux FAT32 maintainers. -- J.W.
