Hello,
I have two identical directories and when I run an rsync --dry-run on them rsync wants to transfer all the files from the source directory to the target directory. I verified some files in both directories with 'ls -l' and the output is the same which, if I understand correctly, means that rsync should not include the file in the list of files to transfer. I also did an md5 check on source files and destination files and verified the output was the same.
I am attempting to verify if the source and destination directories are the same using rsync. Perhaps there is a better way.
---------
rsync --verbose --dry-run --progress --stats --recursive --times --perms --links /misc/cosmos/srb/tape_vault/dtfMcat.orig /misc/samqfs/srbfs/srb/tape_vault/dtfMcat
shows 1150 different files including for example file :
dtfMcat.orig/SRBVault/srb.sdsc/95/7/TEST.Sget.c.1549896231.1070989901
But "cmp" and "ls" shows them as same!
