I use rsync to update files to a samba shared folder on another
machine. If the remote drive is mounted as smbfs in fstab:
//xx.xx.xx.35/YellowDog /mnt/mic smbfs username=xxx,password=xxx
Then everything works fine. However if I mount it as cifs & run rsync,
the date/time on the remote files is that of the transfer, not of the
original file creation/modification date. Therefore rsync transfers are
messed up because it uses the date to work out if a file should be
copied or not. Local machine is debian sarge, remote system is OSX
10.3. Using smbfs works fine & the dates are correctly preserved across
to the remote machine, but I understand that cifs is the way forward, so
I'd like to get it working with cifs. What am I doing wrong? The
remote directory & files are owned by the username specified in fstab,
and are permission 755 (directories) or 644 (files).
The rsync command line I'm using is rsync -rt --delete --modify-window=1
/source /mnt/mic.
Thanks!
