Hello, You need to have proper support for xattr on your system. I would suggest verifying the following: 1) Your kernel is compatible 2) You have the xattr libraries (runtime and devel) installed 3) The filesystem on you're building from can set xattrs Item 3 tricked me the first time. :) Fair warning, however: i've found xattr support in pre5 to be sketchy at best... -- dan. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
