Thanks. I added the -E option and changed rsync versions and this
solved the FCP file problem.
Why do I use rsync?? For backups?? Cause it's a great tool??
I'm not
sure
I understand the question.
You're right, you don't. Since if you did understand the question
you'd realize:
A) It's not a great tool
B) it's highly problematic on OS X or any filesystem that's not
POSIX-esque
C) It doesn't do "backups" but merely synchronizes directories and
files
D) It is metadata lossy
E) It's luck it it's working and not barfing over itself in OS X
...someone else want to continue the long laundry list...?
F) it does preserve metadata if used in the correct version
combination (rsync 2.6.9 oven Mac OS X 10.4.9 vanilla or latest
security update, 10.4.10 untested but should work).
G) if ACL/ACEs are not required rsync 3.0 (trunk) appears to work
with metadata without recurring to copyfile. rsync extends
incremental up to the file list building. Warning: it's prerelease.
H) caveat: 2.6.9 still uses copyfile and copyfile leaks
(communication by Axel Luttgens from the rsync mailing list).
I am aware that this is not a developer list, but instead of spitting
on a quite decent tool (and this is quite ironic from someone who a
few months ago insulted anyone who would complain about bugs in
rsync), why not collaborate in an open source project to make it
better? Collaborate means also reporting bugs instead of generic lore.
