Subject: [gentoo-user] Rsync backup problem2

1 I have mounted a networked usb drive to /mnt/network using the command:
2 mount -t cifs -o user=paul //lkg7f.homenet.com/disc2 /mnt/network
3 I then use:
4 rsync -Cav --delete --progress --exclude '*tmp*' --exclude
5 '*Trash*' /usr /mnt/network
6
7 All files copy with no errors but symlinks always fail with the message:
8 symlink "/mnt/network/usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.8.so.0" ->
9 "libgstinterfaces-0.8.so.0.1.0" failed: Operation not supported
10
11 I am wondering if this is a permissions problem.
12 My network usb server will not let me have a user called root so I have set
13 user paul with the 'can do anything' previlege.
14 The mount and rsync commands are using user root
15
16 Can anybody help please.
17 Paul
