Hi all, Another thing I've found is that my backups have lost their permissions.
I misunderstood the --chmod option, thinking that it specified the permissions at the destination. What actually happens is that it overrides the source permissions, and has a side effect of the destination permissions being the same as the source. It looks like it works, when metadata is lost. I now need to fix this. What option will set the permissions on the destination side, while not affecting the permissions being fed into --fake-super on the source side? The end goal is a simple backup of a source filesystem preserving all users, all groups, all permissions, and all attributes, while the destination is a filesystem of a normal non-root user account.
