Hey...

Got it.. or think I do.. It appears the -I --ignore-times  attribute
will essentially force a redo of any/all files in the rsync...

Actually it will do the opposite. With the "-I" flag, rsync will ignore differences in modification times as a criterion for deciding whether the source and destination files are different, leaving just a comparison of file sizes as the determining factor.

No, that would be nuts. From the manual:

 -I, --ignore-times
   Normally rsync will skip any files that  are  already  the  same
   size  and  have  the  same  modification timestamp.  This option
   turns off this "quick check" behavior, causing all files  to  be
   updated.

It does jyst what bruce thought it did.

For super paranoia bruce would add the -W option, and the -i or --progress options to see things happening.
