Note, however, that at some point the meaning of options have changed: -E has different meanings and the older version doesn't support the -X/-xattrs option that replaces the old use of -E.

10.7 or better.  THat's partially helpful.  I still have 10.6 on a few nodes.

I forgot to ask something releated.

Today, when I place files using NFS (likely NFSv3) on 10.6, I see ._<FILE> which contains resource forks on the OmniOS side.  Using NFS (likely NFSv4) on 10.10, I also see them.

Does rsync do ._<file> stuff like NFS does?!?  Ideally it would , that way I can rsynch, but then recover individual files using NFS.

Thanks,
