rsyncd does not preserve file ownership

[ManfredU]

Hi, I'm facing a problem with 9.10 nightlies where I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is an issue with FreeNAS....

I try to use the rsyncd service for backing up data from an older FreeBSD server. Although I'm using the -a parameter when sending the data to the rsync daemon, on the receiving side all files are set to nobody:nodbody. I also tried with

Code:

fake super = true

, but this didn't make any difference..

What could be the reason for this?

Thanks
Manfred

Does the dataset use ACLs or windows permissions? "chmod" is blocked on FreeNAS in that situation.

Edit: Your issue would be with chown - so ignore me, sorry. I'm fairly certain that chown still works.

Share and permission type is set to Unix.

This is the command I use:

rsync -avzogP --numeric-ids /etc rsync://root@freenas/pc001
