rsync

Added by Bryan McGuire over 2 years ago

Hello,

I have successfully setup nexentastor on a single server. I can mount via NFS from another server. But I think I am having problems with rsync and permissions.

When I rsync the files are written to the server with I think the wrong owner and group. See here: drwxr-x--- 28 nfs nobody 29 Aug 28 02:18 wpsok.org

Or are these correct and I just don't know how this is supposed to work.

Thanks in advance.

Bryan

Adding to my own post......

I also find the rsynced files all have the same date. It looks as if the time stamp was also changed.

The command used was rsync -rvz

If I use rsync -rvza then I get the following errors : rsync: chown "/mnt/nfs_mail/cache.k12.ok.us/b/bbeckett/inbox/01201008120816126942.imap" failed: Invalid argument (22)

As you can see these are email files so its important to keep the attributes the same.

Thanks
