Maybe you can explain what has gone wrong in this very simple example: % mkdir one two % echo hello > one/hello % ln one/hello two/hello % echo different0 > one/foo % echo different1 > two/foo % rsync -n -v --itemize-changes -checksum -a one two Here is the output generated by that last command: sending incremental file list cd+++++++++ one/ >f+++++++++ one/foo >f+++++++++ one/hello I fail to see how this helps me to know that in this case the files one/hello and two/hello are byte-for-byte identical AND also that the contents of the files one/foo and two/foo are in fact different. Where is the clear sign of a difference between the two "foo" files? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
