--- Comment #2 from Michal Ruprich <mrupr...@redhat.com> --- I stumbled upon this bug and I have a question. I get the chgrp error even when running the daemon as root. #ps -aux | grep rsync root 18486 0.0 0.0 114696 568 ? Ss 09:41 0:00 rsync --daemon I have configured a module in /etc/rsyncd.conf like this: [my_data] comment = test dir for rsync path = /home/tester read only = no uid = tester gid = tester Now when I try to copy file 'data' to this module: # rsync -av data localhost::my_data sending incremental file list data rsync: chgrp "/.data.CFttwz" (in my_data) failed: Operation not permitted (1) sent 86 bytes received 117 bytes 406.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1178) [sender=3.1.2] This doesn't happen with version 3.0.9. And I think that this should not happen. It works fine with the 'fake super' option set to 'yes' but the daemon runs under root and the fake super option says: "This allows the full attributes of a file to be stored without having to have the daemon actually running as root." From this description I would assume that you don't need the 'fake super' option to transfer all attributes when the daemon runs under root right? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
