Journal files missing the + ACL

[moodeaudio]

Hi,

Testing the super nice log2ram on our RaspiOS Bookworm build and I noticed some potential permission issues.

Permission warning

With log2ram off the + ACL's are present on all the files.

Can you try to add the option -Ato rsync on the two lines : https://github.com/azlux/log2ram/blob/master/log2ram#L49 and https://github.com/azlux/log2ram/blob/master/log2ram#L78

From the rsync doc :

--acls, -A preserve ACLs

I didn't knew journactl was using ACL on their files

[moodeaudio]

Adding -A is an improvement. rsync -AaXv

There are still some missing + but also a lot more new files.

All journal files not containing a "@" is normal, it's expected to avoid journal corruption. Is there are others files missing on the copy ?

[moodeaudio]

I'm not too familiar with how log2ram works so can't be sure about the files but what I posted was just after a reboot.

[azlux]

All good for me, I will push an update into log2ram

[moodeaudio]

Fantastic, thanks :-)
