The new algo helps to detect inconsistency when sizes are equal and mtimes differ slightly but contents differs (can happen when application didn't change size, instead it changed some bytes before crash), the old one helps to detect inconsistency when admin placed on childs different files with the same full name (the flag is not set). Will keep you guys informed regarding this. thanx, Alexey. Thanks > Krishna > >
