Thanks, rsync -X actually works (and I wonder why -X is not included in -a, just as for cp). I see tar has --xattrs. With tar -c it works (the tar file contains the string with the value), but tar -x does not recreate the xattr. By using strace I see that rsync does open(".a.eWMgCy", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 1 fchmod(1, 0700) = 0 close(1) = 0 lstat64(".a.eWMgCy", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 llistxattr(".a.eWMgCy", 0x82bb0c0, 1024) = 0 lsetxattr(".a.eWMgCy", "security.capability", "\x01\x00\x00\x02\x00 \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00", 20, 0) = 0 lsetxattr(".a.eWMgCy", "user.qqq", "www", 3, 0) = 0 utimensat(AT_FDCWD, ".a.eWMgCy", {UTIME_NOW, {1307265135, 0}}, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0 chmod(".a.eWMgCy", 0755) = 0 rename(".a.eWMgCy", "a") = 0 while tar -x does mknod("a", 0700) = 0 setxattr("a", "user.qqq", "www", 3, 0) = 0 open("a", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0700) = 4 close(4) = 0 utimensat(AT_FDCWD, "a", {{1307271119, 468295223}, {1307265135, 0}}, 0) = 0 setxattr("a", "user.qqq", "www", 3, 0) = 0 chown32("a", 0, 0) = 0 chmod("a", 0755) = 0 Why is tar not working?
