Hello list, Using rsync version 3.1.0pre1 protocol version 31.PR14, I ran this command to sync two local filesystems:
rsync -rvvctpgonh --itemize-changes --progress --stats --log-file=/root/rsync.log /mnt/ntfs/vmdk/ /mnt/ntfs/restore/ -r = recursive -vv = verbose -c = checksum compare -t = transfer modification times -p = set destination perms to match source -g = set destination group to match source -o = set destination owner to match source -n = dry run (should cause --progress to be meaningless, but harmless) -h = human readable output Output includes this summary: 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of files: 443,967 (reg: 419,427, dir: 24,540) 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of created files: 2,581 (reg: 2,511, dir: 70) 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of deleted files: 0 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of regular files transferred: 2,744 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total file size: 560.66G bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total transferred file size: 196.26G bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Literal data: 0 bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Matched data: 0 bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list size: 589.75K 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list generation time: 0.047 seconds 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total bytes sent: 20.97M 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total bytes received: 1.36M 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] sent 20.97M bytes received 1.36M bytes 2.28K bytes/sec 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] total size is 560.66G speedup is 25,111.56 (DRY RUN) --itemize-changes has output 70 lines pertaining to created directories (matches the summary output above), similar to this: 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cd+++++++++ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/ $ awk '$4 ~ /^cd/' rsync.log | wc -l # ==> 70 However, the log file contains 0 occurrences of '>', '<' or 'cf++++++++' . A bit of arithmetic indicates exactly the "Number of regular files transferred" ( = 2,744 from stats output) are missing from the log: $ wc -l rsync.log # ==> 441279 ( - 56 lines of stats/info + 2,744 unreported files = 443967 files/dirs, as summarized) Questions: 1/ Why doesn't --itemize-changes report "cf+++++++++" lines for files contained inside created directories ("cd+++++++")? For example, I expected output similar to: (faked output) 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cd+++++++++ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/ 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cf+++++++++ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/desktop.ini 2/ Of the 2,744 transferred files, 2,581 are created (I expect each, dir or file, as a "c[fd]+++++++") ; this leaves 163 transferred files, presumably because they were changed (but not created), also not reported. Why were they not reported? Ultimately, I would like a list of all differences, both file and directory, sent to the client. I suspect --itemize-changes is a bit archaic, and I should be investigating --info= customized output. Thank you!
