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.
Not quite, it will still check the contents of the file and if they are
the same, it won't transfer it.
