I've been trying to use freebsd-mtree to capture and restore file and directory permissions for a directory tree to be checked into a version control system. I am able to create an mtree file, but when trying to compare the directory with the contents of this file it always fails.
I set up a directory 'test' containing a subdirectory 'test1' in my home directory and ran:
freebsd-mtree -c -p test
Which gave me the output:
# user: testuser
# machine: testuser-laptop
# tree: /home/testuser/test
# date: Sat Dec 19 22:51:16 2009
# .
/set type=file uid=1000 gid=1000 mode=0755 nlink=1
\056 type=dir nlink=3 size=4096 time=1261263072.449459025
# ./test1
\164\145\163\164\061 \
- type=dir nlink=2 size=4096 time=1261263013.626458064
+ type=dir nlink=2 size=4096 time=1261263013.626458064
# ./test1
..
..
I piped this to a file 'mtree' then attempted to run:
freebsd-mtree -U -f mtree -p test
which gave me the output:
. extra
- missing (directory not created: No such file or directory)
+ missing (directory not created: No such file or directory)
/ missing (directory not created: File exists)
- I don't have ready access to a BSD system to run the original command
- on, but this looks like it might be a problem with the port to Linux of
- this tool.
+ Any missing files/directories were not recreated, nor were incorrect
+ ownership permissions restored. I don't have ready access to a BSD
+ system to run the original command on, but this looks like it might be a
+ problem with the port to Linux of this tool.
