I was wondering if ntfs-3g handles all Windows ACLs, permissions etc. attributes files written on a NTFS can have.
I have a 50 GB NTFS filesystem (Windows running in a virtual machine) which I wanted to copy over a rather slow internet link - if I use a dd-like program, it will take me at least a week to copy data. Files on this filesystem take less than 10 GB space, so it would be ideal if I could just mount the local NTFS filesystem, mount the remote NTFS filesystem (via iSCSI), copy files, done. I'm concerned about the state of Windows ACLs, permissions, attributes etc. after such operation though. Is it possible with ntfs-3g? As I understand, not only the filesystem driver (ntfs-3g) have to support the full spectrum of NTFS ACLs, attributes - but also a userspace program doing the copying. So, perhaps, I'd loose the attributes when I use cp or rsync? Is it possible at all? Mount two NTFS filesystems, copy data from one to another, leaving ACLs, permissions 100% intact? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ntfs-3g-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ntfs-3g-devel
