I keep a repo of the packages for Fedora on a NAS system on a

updates through cpio works but complains about not being able to set the
permissions on the transferred files to the same as the source. ntfs
has permissions of 775 and those for the package files in updates are
644. Is there a way to get rsync ntfs aware?
rsync doesn't care what the source or target filesystem are. If rsync
is running as a non-root user and that user isn't the owner or group of
the target filesystem's directories, then yeah, it's not going to be
able to change the permissions (the rsync user has to have write
permission on the target).
It'd help if you'd post the rsync error messages you're getting.
