But it does, providing you play by the rules.
only that this is not the only possible outcome from logical thinking.
And it logically follows the model Apple has engineered.
UUIDs are not necessarily what rsync should go by as long as there
is username correspondence, and this is how, I understand, Apple
thinks.
Here you are completely at odds with Mac OS X. I'd suggest rather
than spew about how you think OS X should work you read the fine OS X
Internals book and other relevant architectural documents from Apple.
Of course I cannot speak for Apple, but someone mailed me that on
his system it indeed works by using username correspondence, even
when UUIDs are different.
Something is fishy then. Like they aren't using ACLs or OD.
This is even more logical than using UUIDs, as this is consisten
with the way rsync works by default when UNIX ownership is concerned.
I think you mean POSIX.
I am not concerned about the official rsync, I am talking about the
version of rsync that comes bundled with 10.4.9 (and associated
system libraries).
So I am just saying,
That's how a New Yorker tells you to go f%^$% yourself. Is that what
you intended?
let's stop talking theory and let's instead see if there is, or
there is not, inconsistency between what we see on different systems
upgraded to 10.4.9, client and server.
No you're spouting babble. Please stop and read the very fine
documents on this and get you head around them so you understand how
things operate. Then if you have a far better way of how the world
should run file a rdar and pick up an engineering prize for extreme
cleverness. Until then...
