Description of problem: When sending files with the --xattrs, if a file is read-only and has new extended attributes, a non-root receiving user can fail to set the new attributes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsync-3.1.3-9.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ rm -rf orig a $ touch orig a $ setfattr -n user.attrib -v value orig $ chmod -w orig a $ rsync -av --xattrs orig a Actual results: sending incremental file list rsync: rsync_xal_set: lsetxattr(""/home/casantos/a"","user.attrib") failed: Permission denied (13) sent 129 bytes received 123 bytes 504.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1179) [sender=3.1.2] Expected results: Files should be synchronized without errors. Additional info: It is possible to circumvent the problem by means of the --fake-super argument $ rsync -av --fake-super --xattrs orig a sending incremental file list sent 164 bytes received 21 bytes 370.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 The problem has been reported upstream a log time ago and is still not fixed.
