Problem with "preserve attributes", file times and ntfs/vfat partitions #1619

3) is actually a good idea.
I wrecked quite a few backups lately because of this and I was SOOO annoyed... Hopefully they were not very important anyway. Still I've never got time to add this to the tracker.
There is another problem related to this. Even it preserve attributes is set, FISH would set the year to the current year (2009) when copying files using SSH. This also needs to be investigated. |

346 line now useless. |
346? Is you mean 746?
Yes, line is useless.

Yes I mean 746. |
This bug should be closed as a duplicate of the much earlier filed bug 273, not the other way around as was done. |

Important
This issue was migrated from Trac:

In changeset [78f01a3] there was added detection of filesystem and defaulting to turning off "preserve attributes" on certain FS (ntfs, vfat and some others)
I guess this is because chown and sometimes even chmod can fail on these filesystems, resulting in many annoying messageboxes "chown failed on <file>" or alike.
Unfortunately, this turns off preserving timestamp as well, which is VERY bad. Before I noticed this behavior, this managed to do some damage (mtimes of many backed up files got lost, so I needed to recreate those backups again).
Suggested fix:
Or perhaps somewhat combine these solutions.
