Re: rsync from xfs to nfs+xfs and ACL problems

[Linda Walsh <xfs@xxxxxxxxx>]

If the NFS system doesn't handle ACL's,
you might try using "star" which can handle ACL's and extended file attributes 
storing them in
an extended tar-format archive.

It has a "-copy" feature that I've used successfully to copy extended file 
attributes:
(cd sourcedir; star -acl -xattr -no-fsync . /destdir/.)&

and ACL's  from one XFS file system to another, so I'm reasonably sure it's 
archive format (see its manpage for correct options) would also store them.
