WARNING: DONT DO THAT!!
DO NOT USE RSYNC on a mac!!!!! it is not HFS+ aware and it will destroy application resource forks, lose all icons, creator codes and create a massively unpleasant experience.
WARNING: DONT DO THAT!!
Nonsense - I've been using rsync for a long time to mirror my directories between my Tibook and my unix account at work. With no problems whatsoever.
WARNING: DONT DO THAT!!
Thanks for dispelling this myth 240vac.
No You have just been lucky, there is a problem
Gee too bad your simply wrong about that 240AC. You've just been lucky you have not encountered a problem. As rule of thumb any flat file can be rsynched with only minor damage.
WARNING: DONT DO THAT!!
I appreciate the info but your warning is a little extreme. I'm sure you agree that the version of rsync can be used under the circumstances I provided. In the case rcp, ftp and scp are also "bad."
RsyncX has problems
The HFS+ implementation on maxosclabs (RsyncX) is broken in that it only works if it is installed on all systems communicating with each other. In other words, you gain HFS+ rsyncing between all the Macs you have installed this on, but it willnot work between the this rsync and the real rsync or between rsyncx serving UFS to HFS+. The code that macosxlabs has generated could be improved (goto statements in C, come on...) |
