Because it could be that rsync works fine, but there are some problems with the hardware -- like bad blocks on the disk. If you don't trust rsync you should use some other tool. FWIW my 300GB take a few hours to check; on reasonably recent hardware 30 GB should take minutes, ie. less than an hour or so to verify. - -- Johannes Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Burma, Liberia, and the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_units -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktVyXwACgkQC1NzPRl9qEWQFQCeN2Nc0HNpL533xQq15FhyNTsv na0AnRK8zTd/bSGlwkbyTujG7lmoEHtJ =huTF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
