Hi Ken,
I'm not an expert in file systems science but it seems that the HFS+ is
a big problem with the standard rsync command. I don't use OSX server
anymore but with OSX tiger, I only use a proprietary solution named
superduper as I never found a good free command to make good copies
between my hard disks.
For a specific rsync solution, I got this program here:
http://hondana.net/Resources/Binary/OSX/RsyncX is a hack but it works very well. My personal data centers are on
XFS I manage through Linux. I only use HFS+ for my client computer. If
your admin (markus I mean) need a command line program, the rsyncx
command is inside the .app bundle (NeXT reminiscence).
I don't know if the original OSX file systems named UFS would be a
better solution for servers but the lack of fs tools on OSX is very
annoying.
I hope this will help,
Cheers
