[gpfsug-discuss] replicating ACLs across GPFS's?

[Jez Tucker]

Hi,

   Here: https://github.com/gpfsug/gpfsug-tools/tree/master/bin/rsync

For those of you with Pixit Media / ArcaStream support, just install our 
maintained ap-rsync which has this patch and additional fixes for other 
'fun' things that break between GPFS and rsync.

If anyone wants to contribute to the git repo wave your arms.

Jez
