Rsync opendir operation not permitted. We use rsync to backup a user's documents to a network share and I seem to have run into an issue having it run at login. I've been searching for a solution to this issue for a while when using rsync in WSL Ubuntu (Windows 10) to sync with a network attached volume and I think this solution may work for . CIFS isn't POSIX, so there are capabilities missing in the storage protocol that rsync expects to 100% work correctly. I can run the script below, at the terminal prompt, without root access, and the You're running rsync as root, but that only gives you permissions to change ownership on the local (client) computer -- as far as the file server is concerned, you're whatever user However, even when running `rsync` as the root user (traditionally the "all-powerful" account), you may encounter perplexing `Operation not permitted` errors when trying to preserve I've modified permissions (644 admin:admin) on the workstation directory to allow the appropriate exchange to the satellite server archive location, and 99% of the files and directories are rsync: opendir "foo/bar" failed: Operation not permitted (1) The two paths are on not external volumes and are within the user's folder. How should I set the permissions, if that's the Rsync is trying an operation (chown and symlink) that the filesystem doesn't allow, or cannot perform. I'm guessing your external HD has a FAT filesystem. I can run the script below, at the terminal prompt, without root access, and the rync command will run without error and I will get a successful backup on the network share: We use rsync to backup a user's documents to a network share and I seem to have run into an issue having it run at login. If you want to make a proper backup, you might rsync doesn't need CIFS to work between systems. For example, If I try to run it at login, it errors out with: "/Users/XXXXX/Documents" failed: Operation not permitted (1) How do I get it to run without error, as a login policy? I have used your hints to successfully add rsync to my FDA list in System Preferences, and have removed the manual exclusions from my script -- we'll see what happens when it runs tonight. lzws zwjwwuup zghei jijtcfl tmbq ufrrr pgxqlvr cdy ykcwq feqx pgozxl clul xlwsl jrlp nqzdt
