I don't know why it would matter, unless 1) the files really are changing or 2) the nfs server is inconsistent about reporting modification times. > > Is there another possibility to use rsync without mounting the nfs partition? > How can I synchronize files from nfs?? If the nfs server runs sshd, you could always rsync from the remote machine over ssh. (Hint: use a single colon.) Or, if you admin the nfs server you could run an rsync daemon on the server.
