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?
The error message is telling you that rsync is unable to set an attribute on the source file on the target file.
So... it could be a symbolic link and the NAS filesystem doesn't support them, or it could be an attribute set on the file which again, the NAS doesn't support.
If you're using CIFS to mount the NAS then you'll lose a lot more than just stuff like this - use NFS if possible.
Check the file: lsattr /home/julian/.thunderbird/30xnx...etc. and of-course ls -l ... Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
