problems on writing to a samba share.
My fstab is a testament to how awkward samba share is.
I'm having some success with mounting using cifs, but permissioning was a little bit trial and error, and even now, some of permissions of the files being written are a bit off kilter.
If it's across a samba share, wouldn't rsync not care what the filesystem of the network drive was? It's cifs that's doing all of the work moving from one fs to another (or the same type). SMB permissioning notwithstanding...

Cheers. I'd favour a disk image over copying files (easier to restore and I seem to remember stuff about rsync not necessarily playing nicely with NTFS drives). dd could be an option unless anyone has any better suggestions. Something that produces images on the basis of space used rather than SD card size would be good.
Although I assume this will founder where I often do with problems on writing to a samba share.
