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.
