I agree that the Apple one is depressingly old, but it sports the "-E" flag, which (AFAIK) is not part of standard rsync, and which supposedly deals with Apple "extented attributes". Would you happen to know if modern open source handles these extended attributes well these days (maybe in some other way?)? There is also a "--cache" flag that's specific to Apple. >From Apple's rsync man page: -E, --extended-attributes Apple specific option to copy extended attributes, resource forks, and ACLs. Requires at least Mac OS X 10.4 or suitably patched rsync. --cache Apple specific option to enable filesystem caching of rsync file i/o Otherwise fcntl(F_NOCACHE) is used to limit memory growth. (Realising I'm turning this into an rsync discussion. I should probably fork the thread ... :-|) Best regards, /Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. !
