Re: How Can I save the original permissions while setting g+rX for all files
Yes indeed, it is setting both the permissions. So it sets the desirable access rights to the file, but does not save the original mode in the xattr. So it's not really working out for me.

How Can I save the original permissions while setting g+rX for all files
Hello list! Combining -M--fake-super with --chmod ends up changing the permissions stored in the fake-super xattrs. I.e. the permissions stored in the xattr, are affected by --chmod. The desirable behaviour for me would be for --chmod to modify the real permissions of the destination files. The use case is writing a backup as a non-root user, having it readable by the group (g+rX), while also saving the original permissions in the xattr. Is it a bug? Any suggestions on how I can achieve what I want? Thanks in advance, Dimitris -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
