I am experiencing a problem attempting to use rsync on systems with extended ACLs enabled. The ACLs flag works, but when it is used, the mtime of the files on on the receiving system are set to the current time. This is a bit annoying in itself, but creates a larger problem because any later rsync actions on the same files see the files as _different_, meaning that _all_ the files are recopied -- which more or less defeats the purpose of using rsync. Yes, I understand that setting ACLs on a file changes the mtime of the file. But, as rsync is able to (re)set mtimes I would think that this shouldn't should be an issue when using rsync. Is this a bug or a feature? -- greg byshenk - gbyshenk@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL
