No, what options are you using to rsync. I do a similar thing, but selectively to save bandwidth. I copy stuff with the -aSH options, for various things I keep copied. There is a CRC option, but you shouldn't need it. You might look at ctime and mtime before and after, it is possible that what you are copying is actually getting a "touch" due to a script error at the source. Not the most likely thing, but I mention it because I mirror a site which does a copy of a tree without preserving mtime, and it behaves as if every file changes between 2-3am local time. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
