rsync error: failed to set times on “/foo/bar”: Operation not permitted

Question

I\'m getting a confusing error from rsync and the initial things I\'m finding from web searches (as well as all the usual chmod\'ing) are not solving it:

rsync:          


        

Answer 1

I've seen that problem when I'm writing to a filesystem which doesn't (properly) handle times -- I think SMB shares or FAT or something.

What is your target filesystem?
