rsync on linux to vFAT
November 29th, 2007 by keith
FAT/VFAT doesn’t support groups, and doesn’t support modified time recording to the second, only minute
- instead of -a ( -rlptoDg) use just -rlptoD (removes the ‘g’)
- add –modify-window 120 (seconds)
For backing up user dirs that do not match the external permissions, use “-rltD”. vFAT doesn’t do multiuser when mounted under linux
FAT isn’t case sensitive, so “Folder” and “folder” on the source will collide on destination. Avoid this naming on the source side
