to preserve Mac OS X ACL's and extended attributes you have to be rsyncing to another Mac or at least a volume formatted with HFS+. If your rsync server is not a Mac and the HFS+ partition does not have ACL's turned on then the ACL's and extended attributes won't be copied. David. - Origi

Hi, Running rsync with --whole-file yields poorer performance results than a simple "cp". Looking at the code - it looks like "copy_file" isn't really called when I add the --whole-file flag. The regular "receive_data" is doing the copy. Anyone encountered this? No other special flags (rsync --who
