rsync fails on backup to ext4 external disk
by alex4buba from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J5ZG)
On KDE Plasma, I used a WD external drive with NTFS file format, but at some point the HP probook laptop refused to mount that disk (I posted another query about it previously).
So, using the KDE partition Manager I formated it to ext4 format. Now my laptop is "Happy" and mounts the disk OK.
But when trying to execute the dayly backup script, the backup fails with the following errors (just part, there are more with same error)
Code:rsync: [generator] symlink "/media/alexe/Elements/sat/grsync.desktop" -> "unsupported reparse tag 0xa000000c" failed: Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: [generator] symlink "/media/alexe/Elements/sat/kcm_kup.desktop" -> "unsupported reparse tag 0xa000000c" failed: Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: [generator] symlink "/media/alexe/Elements/sat/org.kde.ktimer.desktop" -> "unsupported reparse tag 0xa000000c" failed: Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: [generator] symlink "/media/alexe/Elements/sat/BondsandStocks/For_Ian_2021_22/SuperFund_21_22.xlsx" -> "unsupported reparse tag 0xa000000c" failed: Operation not permitted (1)Any suggestion?
Thanks
