I should also point out that xattrs from non-user namespaces that get sent to a Mac get stored inside a special rsync namespace. This keeps them from getting in the way of the "user" items on the Mac side, and ensures that all the xattrs have the same values in a reverse copy. The "system" namespace is always ignored (since it holds things like ACLs on some systems), and non-user namespaces are only used if the receiver is running with super-user privileges. (See also the fake-super.diff in the patches dir.) ..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
