OK, I know a lot about unix environments and am very familiar with rsync (and a big fan). My MS windows knowledge is at “I play a doctor on TV” stage. Hmm. OK, the analogy needs work. I know what the words mean and can stumble my way through many common problems.
And now I’m trying to use rsync (2.6.3) from the most recent cygwin distribution. It works fine, except that when doing an “rsync –a” or “rsync –archive”, I’m expecting the ownership to be maintained, and it is not – the destination owner is always “Administrator”, which is different from the source (I’m connected to the share as an Administrator). I’ve tried using the collection of switches which “-a” is shorthand for and get the same thing. There is nothing tricky about what I’m trying to do – an example is:
rsync --archive "/cygdrive/z/APC/Verity/" "/cygdrive/z/APC3/Verity"
Perms and modify times are maintained, but ownership is changed. This is a fairly critical problem as our quota system is based on ownership.
Any clues? I’d be happy to rtfm if someone can point me to it!
