Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] download access for uploading files broken

Hello Bob,

Thanks for fixing the NFS last night! (glad we found the solution).

I have a hunch it relates to setting group ownership.

Notice the following:

1. Uploading a simple file works:

   rsync hello.txt address@hidden:/releases/test-project/

2. Uploading with "-a" hangs:

   rsync -a hello.txt address@hidden:/releases/test-project/

3. "-a" is equal to "-rlptgoD",
  and with a bit of trial-and-error, removing the '-g" works:

   rsync -rlptoD hello.txt address@hidden:/releases/test-project/


If this helps in any way - great.

If not, I'll add some 'strace'ing on the server-side rsync to see
if I can learn more - but that will only be later tonight.

regards,
