Let us know if that's the right solution.
I have done the following: - Added -modify-window=10 (also tried 2) to both the client and server process. - Limited attributes to only time (no owner, group, etc.) - run the cygwin daemon with --no-detach I also found all instances of directories who's names differed only by case and removed them. Still... rsync copies files for no apparent reason. I cannot understand it. Some of the files seem to appear repeatedly, but I believe some are new each time. Here is the tail of an example output, the second time in a row that it ran: wrote 63568758 bytes read 100388 bytes 67769.18 bytes/sec total size is 6100714293 speedup is 95.82 rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(576) I don't know if the error holds a clue. It seemed to complete ok. Again, I'm using the latest rsync, copying from Solaris to Win98se with the latest cygwin. Any ideas?
