Hi, In case I do: rsync -Aaxq --delete --ignore-errors --usermap=33:44 --groupmap=33:44 user@server::backup/source/ /dest/ The result is: # getfacl file user::rw- user:44:r-- group::rw- group:44:r-- mask::rw- other::--- Looks ok. But in case: rsync -Aaxq --delete --ignore-errors --numeric-ids --usermap=33:44 --groupmap=33:44 user@server::backup/source/ /dest/ The result is: # getfacl file user::rw- user:33:r-- group::rw- group:33:r-- mask::rw- other::--- It looks like rsync ignored usermap groupma for acls. Non acls rights mapping still works ok. I would also suggest adding the --addacl would be very useful.
