[rdiff-backup-users] windows backup without acl always crash

[Farkas Levente]

hi,
we use to backup all of our server to backup acls and xattrs too. ie. we
use the pylibacl and pyxattr on the server. although we backup windows
servers too. we mount them with cifs on the backup server and backup the
mounted dir. but after we install the pylibacl and pyxattr on the server
we no longer be able to backup these windows machines, since we got the
error bellow. is it possible to switch of the ea on a given host? ie. is
there any way to inform rdiff-backup no to use acl and xattr? it'd be a
useful option like: -noacl -noxattr. the best would be if rdiff-backup
recognize if these are not suported on the given directory and in this
case don't want to use it. the worse thing that currently it's not
possible to backup some of our server with acl and some others without acl.
thank you for your help in advance.
yours.
