Title:
Copying file to an OCFS2 file system using rsync result in wrong
ownership of symlinks
Status in OCFS2 File System.:
Fix Released
Status in “ocfs2-tools” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Not sure if this should be filed against linux-meta (if it is an OCFS2
bug) or against rsync, so I left the package field blank.
When copying files to an OCFS2 filesystem using rsync, ownership of
symlinks is not preserved correctly. Strangely, running rsync a
second time would fix the ownership. This problem have been isolated
to using rsync and OCFS2 in conjunction, as ownership of symlinks is
preserved correctly on the same machine when either rsync'ing to an
ext3 file system, or when copying to an OCFS2 volume using other means
(such as cp). The symptoms have been observed in both gutsy and
hardy.
uname -a: Linux ocfs2-hardy-node1 2.6.24-5-server #1 SMP Thu Jan 24
19:58:47 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Steps to reproduce
------------------------
1. Install hardy, create an OCFS2 volume and mount it under /data (for
example)
2. Setup a rsyncd server, and create a module where files, including
synlinks, are not owned by root (owned by ftp:ftp in my example here)
3. rsync the files to your OCFS2 volume. the command line i use is:
sudo rsync -avz 192.168.1.10::rsync-test /data/rsync-test/
4. ls -l /data/rsync-test -> notice that file ownership are correct,
except for symlinks which are owned by root:root instead of ftp:ftp as
they should
5. Run the rsync command above a second time.
6. ls -l /data/rsync-test -> notice that all files, including
symlinks, are now owned correctly by ftp:ftp
7. rsync to a location that is on an ext3 file system now (/home/test
in this example)
sudo rsync -avz 192.168.1.10::rsync-test /home/test/
8. ls -l /home/test -> notice all file ownership are correct,
including symlinks
9. Copy the file to the OCFS2 volume using some other mean (in this
example, using cp from a NFS mount)
sudo rm -rf /data/rsync-test/*
sudo mount 192.168.1.10:/data /mnt
sudo cp -a /mnt/* /data/rsync-test/
10. ls -l /data/rsync-test -> notice all file ownership are correct,
including symlinks
