Hello. Please see http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/66702. I would like to have confirmation whether or not rsync verifies the transferred files' integrity at the target location by checksumming as advertised in the manpage:
"""Note that rsync always verifies that each transferred file was correctly reconstructed on the receiving side by checking a whole-file checksum that is generated as the file is transferred""" The word "always" here seems to indicate that the integrity check will happen whether for local or network transfers, but the above Stack Exchange post claims otherwise. Please clarify. Also, once it is assured that the check will happen *really* "always", it would be useful to advertise the fact about the integrity check in the website and description part of the manpage itself IMO. FWIW I'm using rsync 3.1.1 (latest) on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Thanks. -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
