Hi, I've been trying to use "--checksum-seed" to speed up backups . I have a homebrew script which creates incremental backups using hardlinks. To save disk space I turn on --checksum so that when file's mod-times change rsync doesn't create a new file (breaking the hardlinking) unless the contents of the file are different as well. I tested the command:
#rsync -aHiy -r --delete --ignore-errors --checksum --checksum-seed=1 fromdir todir but I couldn't find where the checksums were being cached. How does one use --checksum-seed ? Thanks!
