Rsync, Deltacopy, file ownership

mha · 12. April 2014

Hi,

I finally managed to get my Iomege HMNHD Cloud Edition (armv6) up and running with omv 0.4.38. Now I am trying to set up simple rsync jobs to backup some data from my Windows machines. I set up Deltacopy in server mode, configured a virtual directory and defined an rsync job in the OMV web gui. The job runs fine, files are transferred as expected. However ownership changes. Starting from the top level of the destination shared folder on the OMV NAS rsync changes all owner:group settings to 400:401 and sets file permissions to 700. Is there any way I can set a default owner:group and default file permissions in the web gui job definition?

Thanks,
Michael

Unix can not easily inherit windows privilges on his on filesystems and vice-versa.

But you can simply run a script like that after your rsync command like

Bash

#!/bin/sh
chown -R owner:group /path/to/rsync/destination/
chmod 755 -R /path/to/rsync/destination/
