Hi All, This is a continuation of a thread I started some time ago at http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg19852.html
The first occurrence of this problem seems to have just gone away and all was good for a week or so. I have now seen this same behaviour again, though. I'm not sure where the logs went so sadly I cannot provide output from rsync, but the problem is roughly the same as before in that the 'Number of files trasferred" entry provided by the --stats switch is incorrect. During testing, I completely removed everything from my testing dir and then ran an rsync into it from another directory on the same machine into this directory. When the transfer was complete, I had the entire /etc /var and /root dirs in my testing directory and the file space totalled a little over 1GB. The report generated by the --stats switch showed something like 35,000 files as the "Number of files" but only 2 were indicated as transferred under the "Number of files transferred" item of the same report. I know this number is wrong as there was nothing in my testing dir and now there are the entire contents of the /etc, /var and /root dir, but I don't know why the Number of files transferred is incorrect. Can someone shed some light for me on exactly how the 'Number of files transferred' number is arrived at? Perhaps it's not at cut and dried as I think.
