Sorry again, one more thing. We tested rsync with -a/-t option, but it does not save ctime file attribute. -------- Original Message --------
I checked the rsync source code and it is using utime() to restore atime file attribute. It is fine to change ctime for that transferred file in this case. What we are having problem is that when rsync gets kicked off and transfers one file to the destination, this action changes ctime of "all" files in the same directory and sub directories on the destination side, even though a ctime for those files should not be changed, but it should change ctime only for the file transferred. Please advise me how rsync should behave in terms of ctime file attribute. Or could this problem be nfs/kernel issue or something else ? Does rsync change ctime for all files under the same directory trees ? Thanks in advance, yasushi -------- Original Message --------
Hi, I looked though documentation and also checked last 9 months of archives, but could not find the corresponding information. We are having an issue with incremental backup with arkeia. Arkeia checks if ctime/mtime of the file are changed, if so, it backs up. I realized that when I ran rsync from a command line, it changed ctime, and preserved atime of the file in a destination as follows even though a file has no change in its content. Is this a expected action for rsync ?
