Why only -lts option as argument to rsync about lsyncd HOT 5 CLOSED

Because -a requires to be root.

OK, it can easily be changed with a configfile, but maybe something that should 
be mentioned in the documentation. 

I suppose it is:

http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/wiki/Lsyncd20Manual#Layer_4_Configuration:_Defau
lt_Behavior

Yes, I read that and understood not everything is preserved (although an rsync 
command is fired on attribute change). But not everybody knows the rsync 
options I guess. But it is not a defect, just a suggestion. 

I'm going to rework the rsync configuration interface for Lsyncd 2.1.

However, archive will be by default turned off again. You can try discussing it 
on the maillinglist if the majority of users want it otherwise. Default values 
are just that, hard to guess what a majority wants. I try to set default 
settings that have the minimum on requirements and maximum on safity.
