--- Comment #1 from Heinz-Willi Wyes <h...@delember-wyes.de> --- Addendum. Thought that the --inplace option could play the trick. I just employed the following: rsync -r --delete --inplace `mktemp -d`/ snapshots/2017-05-28-08-10-11/ But this does not help either. Permission bits get reset to 644 anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
