I've written a patch to rsync that adds support for transferring posix extended attributes. I've put the srpm and an i386 binary rpm at http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/rsync/rsync-2.6.3-2.{src,i386}.rpm These rpms also contain the acl patch. To enable the transfer of extended attributes you need to use the new -X option. Naturally, both the client and server rsyncs must include the extended attribute patch if you use -X. Please try this rpm out, and report whether it works or not. After I get some feedback I'll be sending the patch (or its successor) to the upstream rsync maintainer. -- JF
