I try to sync two directories using rsync.

the source is on Linux, and the other is on windows.

So, I mount the directory on windows using the command mount -t cifs ..... in Linux system.

Then I execute rsync ....

Everything is OK, but rsync prints out

rsync: chown "/mnt/windows/A/." failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: chown "/mnt/windows/A/readme.txt" failed: Permission denied (13)

I want to sync the directories without changing ownership.

How can I do? please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
