I keep getting the following error. After several years I've had it, and am posting to the mailing list in hopes of better advice than stuckchange.
rsync: [generator] failed to set times on "/mnt/tmp/.": Operation not permitted (1) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1336) [sender=3.2.7] As anybody can see, this is the same old trivial error, where we are copying/synchronizing files to a root directory likely not having adequate permissions. Most answers on stuckchange suggest omitting dir times (eg. --omit-dir-times), and this may or may not work. However, this exclusion tends to affect all files and directories, and most times in my experience, maynot be a desireable solution. I've also tried an exclusion (and I thought this was crafty thinking on my part), for omitting the top dir, "eg. --exclude=/.", but still has no affect. There has to be something for omitting modifying only the top directory times? Right? This now seems such a common scenario, where users are mounting loop filesystems, NFS shares, etc; where a users do not have casual access to the "/." directory. Roger
