rsync with 8bit file names?

[Henri Shustak]

Hello,

Guessing the source drive is formatted HFS+ or HFS+J. What is the file system on the destination drive? I know that rsync is capable of correctly coping over file and folder names on Mac OS X which contain non-ASCII characters. Hence my question relating to the destination file system?

The following command should provide you with an answer : 
diskutil info /Volumes/TV | grep "File System Personality" | awk -F "File System Personality:  " '{print $2}'

Maybe someone has a better way to work out the FileSystem volume which they can share? Typically there are many ways to skin a cat and that some approaches are more elegant than others.
