That was the idea -- still compute a full-file checksum so that we know the file is OK after the transfer. However, it does slow things down, and if the already-present data is known to be correct, it's not needed. I'm thinking about having a way to specify that the --append option should just skip past the already-present data without checksumming it. Perhaps an --append-fast option? ..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
