Hello,
Using rsync 2.4.6 I executed the following (simply as a test) from one
machine to another:
rsync -v -e ssh -ar sscan eros:
This copied the sscan directory from my PC to the machine 'eros'. I then
changed a file in sscan locally and ran the command again. The changed file
was copied. I changed the file again, and then executed:
rsync -v -e ssh -ar --size-only sscan eros:
The file was not copied because its size was the same. no problem.
However, I then ran the first command again and the file still was not
copied. Surely it should have been since the file has changed in its
contents? I now have the two files out of sync. The output from rsync simply
shows:
building file list ... done
wrote 1325 bytes read 20 bytes 107.60 bytes/sec
total size is 1109992 speedup is 825.27
Can someone explain this to me please - it doesn't seem right. My PC is
running RedHat linux 7.0 and eros is a Sun Solaris 7 system.
Thanks,
John.
