If you were rsync'ing a live session, that's what I see if I continue computing while rsync is running in the background. I remember freaking out badly the first time I ever saw it. My grasp now is that rsync is informing us that, before it starts performing our commands, it makes a job list of all the files and directories it needs to act on per our expressed commands. If we continue computing while it is running, our activity inevitably changes (totally messes up) its previously calculated to-do list. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape * -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
