------- Comment #2 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-12-29 13:47 MST ------- Intereseting, didn't knwo that rsync worked that way - I thought the default behaviour was to only replace the parts of the file that had changed. Anyway, this motivates a follow-up question: If I understand it correctly if you file 1 on computer A and file 2 on computer B and some minor changes has been made to 1 and you want to sync these changes to B rsync basically make a copy of 2 and works with that. If 1/2 are big, like in my example when they where 25-50 GB, the copy operation from 2.0 to 2.1 generates a lot of disk acticity. In my case when I rsync between two laptops all this disk activity is a little unfortunate since laptop drives are so slow. Now to my question, is there a way to reduce disk activity? Does the --inplace switch work around this?
