I'd love to see such a patch, as this is the direction that I'd like to see rsync take in handling MacOS extended attributes. As for prefixing all MacOS xattrs with "user.", we'd need to come up with some rules that would preserve the xattrs for all data paths: Mac -> Mac, Mac -> Posix -> Mac, and Posix -> Mac -> Posix. So, a Mac receiver would need to be able to differentiate what entries needed the extra prefix stripped, and which did not. So, perhaps adding something like "user.N0nP0s1%." to any non "user." data (that's NonPosix spelled with 2 zeros, a one, and a percent). That would make the stripping rule pretty straight forward on the Mac side. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
