Re: [LUG] Rsync Failure

Hi All,

I do a weekly backup of my system to a USB drive, which recently died so
now I backup to my NAS.  However my mail folder (Thunderbird) is giving
me problems which I never had with the USB drive.  Some files copy
properly but I also get a huge chunk of these lines:

rsync: rsync_xal_set:
lsetxattr(""/media/julian/HERA/SYSTEM_BACKUP/MINT_HOME/home/julian/.thunderbird/30xnxm79.default/Mail/Local
Folders/Friends.sbd/Offline.sbd/UK.sbd/Local.sbd/Guys.sbd/BrianA.mozmsgs/20070404225213.GA20082%40bloobird.co.uk.wdseml"","user.OECustomProperty")
failed: Operation not supported (95)

It then hangs and refuses to carry on until I Ctrl+C and repeat the
rsync command.

The key element I assume is 'Operation not supported (95)'.  My question
is why not when a lot of other files in the Thunderbird mail folder, and
everything outside it, are copied OK?

Kind regards,

Julian
Is your NAS samba-ing or writing to a lesser file format? Mine does and I get a lot of "failed: Operation not supported (95)" Tends just to slow down a lot though.
