>Meanwhile Linux only supports 64 KB
Yes, absolutely true, thanks for the addition:
-Linux max 64kb (some filesystems just 4k)
-HFS+ max 128kb, But MacOS theoretically supports up to 64MB!
-FreeBSD max 64MB with UFS2 or ZFS
-Windows 65536 bytes with NTFS
So from BSD (MacOS) to BSD should/could work.
Truly messy stuff :)
- mrkstu 5y agoSo build your own NAS on BSD+ZFS and use rsync w/xattr's? Not a bad solution theoretically...
- nix23 5y agoKeep in mind that your mounted NFS needs to support xattrs too :) mount -t nfs -o user_xattr I just found out that ~only? the Solaris/illumOS NFS-server supports that, and the Linux Client since Kernel 5.9 With all that information..i honestly would just make a dump of my FS and backup the dump, terrible i know.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThis is the advantage of the "newfangled" backup tools which don't just copy files from A to B and can do (but not always do!) a much better job at a) not caring about your backup destination's file system b) not losing data that's more complicated than "name and contents".
