Hi,
--modify-windowWhen comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than the modify-window value. This is normally 0 (for an exact match), but you may find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situations. In particular, when transferring to or from an MS Windows FAT filesystem (which represents times with a 2-second resolution), --modify-window=1 is useful (allowing times to differ by up to 1 second). Yes, (ex)FAT just doesn't have the resolution to represent some timestamps, specifically it can only record even seconds.
Yes, that were also a guess at one moment in my testing time, but was discarded because, as I said, I had the very same problem on a ntfs partitions which have far greater precision. So is this normal ?
