I've got a strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help out with. Just installed 2.5.6 on a Redhat 8 system.
Was doing a simple test from one local directory to another (in the root) with a couple of text files in the source. Using the following command line: rsync /directory1/ /directory2/ -v --recursive --stats After the first sync all files are copied properly, but then every sync afterwards continues to show the name of the text files because of the -v. The Stats shows a literal data of 0, so it would appear that it recognizes the data is in sync, but why does it show the filenames? I thought it should only show the names of the files that have changed? Also, if I run the same command above but add the -c (checksum) option, then it seems to work correctly. Then it does not show the names of the files with the -v option, unless they have changed. 1. Should I have to use the -c option? 2. And if not, any idea why it doesn't work without it? 3. I'm about to do a very large rsync from one local directory to a local samba mount (Windows 2003). So far my tests have shown the exact results as above with this samba share, unless I use -c. Is it a problem to use -c with a large rsync? I like to only see the changed files so I can parse this data for reporting purposes.
