Hi,
rsync seems to be not preserving ACLs like it is mentioned in the man pages.
Here the case is that source files don't have any ACLs set, and destination
file has group ACL.
When the file is copied using rsync from another VM, destination file ACLs are
lost. Even though I am not using "-A" or by using "--no-A" ACLs are being lost.
