I'm trying to use rsync to a flash drive and getting:
rsync: chgrp "/media/disk/." failed: Operation not permitted (1)
I'm running as root
The flash drive is formatted as vfat, which does not support permissions.
Either reformat it (ext3, reiser, xfs), or change the options given to rsync so that it doesn't try to keep the permissions. This was commented on list some time ago, search for "rsync" or read the manual.
If I make a .tar archive and copy that to a vfat drive then copy it back to the hard drive and untar it, does that keep permissions? Thanks, Lynn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
