Heya,
ok, so nice job on being able to store OS X metadata and resource forks.
Only, there's a problem: There is no limit to the size of resource
forks on OS X, and they're apparently stored every time you sync, in
the mirror_data file.
In my home directory, I have 22MB of resource fork data. You can
check the size yourself with something like : (bash)
$ time find . -type f | while read f; do [ -s "$f/rsrc" ] && ls -
l "$f/rsrc"; done | awk '{s += $5} END{print s " bytes in " NR "
resource forks"}'
22033265 bytes of resource forks, 595 files
I don't know how rdiff-backup works, but I don't think it's a good
idea to store the resource forks together with the metadata. Would it
be possible to have _filename_metadata or something like that in the
mirror?
Of course, if the mirror filesystem supports it, you might just store
the resource forks as a resource fork...
Thoughts?
Wout.
