I’ve seen the switches below on an rsync script and I just wondered if someone could break them down for me…
rsync --chmod=ugo=rwX
ugo?
rwX (read-write-Execute – why the capitalisation on Execute?)
--chmod=CHMOD affect file and/or directory permissions
Also what is “don’t cross filesystem boundaries” for the -x option?
-x, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries
Many Thanks
It is the syntax of
chmodand has nothing to do with rsync options: Set user (u), group (g) and other (o) access to read (r), write (w), and if for the existing file or directory already set, then add execute (X) rights.As you can mount different file systems, you could limit rsync to stay on one file system, for this is the
-xoption.
