[If You Have Sync Issue]

There is a serious permissions problem in the Linux ARM version (and presumably the other Linux versions).

I can see numerous other reports of the bug in these forums:

Here's an example:

This is the tail end of the directory on the source machine:

-rw-r--r-- 1 geoff staff 11837948 13 Dec 13:28 16 Sweet Georgie Fame.mp3

drwxr-xr-x 18 geoff staff 612 13 Dec 13:28 .

drwxr-xr-x 4 geoff staff 136 17 Dec 00:38 ..

I have a read only sync setup to another machine, where these permissions are set:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11837948 Dec 13 05:28 16 Sweet Georgie Fame.mp3

drwxr-xr-- 3 root root 4096 May 22 07:43 ..

drwxr-xr-- 2 root root 4096 May 22 11:08 .

Forget the bit where it is running as root ... (that's my ugly hackery) ... but look at the permissions on the directories!

Yes ... the directories don't have the executable bit set.

Of course, it would be best to respect the umask I have set as a default.

All these directories become unusable to anyone but the owner (in this case root).

Of course there are other things about permissions and ownership that could be improved, but just fixing the broken umask would be appropriate as a first step!

I have a service setup to run watcher, [ https://github.com/splitbrain/Watcher ] which will watch for newly created/modified files and will change permissions to fix such issues!

would be great if permissions could be replicated as well!
