Hi All!
rsync-3.0.6 with fileflags.diff under FreeBSD 8.0-RC1: if there is a file
with uchg or schg flag in source directory and it's hard-linked (usual
case for /usr/bin), then rsync cannot create the link in destination
directory. Error message: rsync: link "/tmp/s/a" => b failed:
Operation
not permitted (1)
The problem is that it's not allowed to link a *chg'ed file. Following
patch tries to remove the flag, link the file and then restore the file
(actually, the code is similar to code in the do_unlink function).
Regards
Anatoli Klassen
Test case:
# mkdir s d
# touch s/a
# ln s/a s/b
# chflags uchg s/a
# rsync -v --hard-links --archive --fileflags --force-change s/ d/
sending incremental file list
