Are there any magic flags that need to be set for NFS

an rsync backup from
10.4 to a FreeBSD NFS server and having what was copied with rsync -avX create
a backup that can't be interpreted correctly on the 10.4 system (all of the
resource forks are gone as far as 10.4 is concerned).
There is also the problem where there are several incompatible
schemes for storing
resource forks (some systems append ._ others create an .AppleDouble
directory) leaving
trails of invisible cruft as files were backed up from system to system.
This is a nightmare for backup migration. I'm having to go through
every backup that was
ever made from MacOS to Unix to identify if the apps have had their
resource forks screwed up
and either put them back together or purge them.
Something I've found with Eudora and Lightroom is that you don't want
them running when the rsync runs to back them up.
