I don't see why you want timestamps to be able to differ by 33.5 minutes. Also, the time the two machines keep doesn't matter from the perspective of rsync-copied files -- as long as you're using the --times option (which you don't seem to have specified) and each file's time gets saved correctly to the file system, all should be well. > 1) If I do a full sync with deletions rsync wants to delete a huge > number of entries in the dev directory Which probably means that you don't have your directories lined up the way you thought. Use --dry-run (-n) and lots of -v options to see what rsync is doing. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
