RsyncX and the patched rsync (the former being a GUI for the CLI rsync) that ships with OS X attempts to preserve resource forks and other file metadata (a lot of it from the OS 9 era where this stuff mattered). If you don't care at all about these attributes (I don't), I would recommend building a copy of the stock rsync from Macports, similar to FreeBSD ports in design: http://www.macports.org Here is a partial (or possibly complete) list of file metadata that I believe would be lost by using the stock rsync in OS X: - get info/Finder comments (this has been replaced with Spotlight comments in 10.4 which are saved to the Spotlight DB, not as file metadata) - application associations for files without file extensions - application associations for many OS 9 files, since OS 9 did not force file extensions and many users didn't bother with them - custom icons pasted on On Jan 26, 2007, at 5:28 PM, Gable Barber wrote: > On 1/26/07, Doug Hardie wrote: >> > >> RsyncX for Mac will sync to a FreeBSD filesystem. > > Thank you. > > I will try these out. > > Gable > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions- > unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --Apple-Mail-39-674802510 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFFvm6PCgdfeCwsL5ERAooAAKCQdqda3wT1J1IVfGNGg6tfrPbplQCfRs1M bpjb9VCP+etDy5rJDdxR5q0= =2XY9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-39-674802510--
