Hi, rsync experts! Would you please address the following issue (an apparent bug. But I would rather reserve judgment and let you decide).
When rsync is run with the --no-times switch, file transfers based on time difference indeed do not happen. HOWEVER... When -i (or -vv ?) is also specified, the transfer that does not happen is nevertheless reported as if it *did *happen ( or under --dry-run, *would* happen). This issue is mentioned at : https://askubuntu.com/questions/998491/rsync-ignore-times-parameter-not-working-on-ubuntu-16-04 <https://askubuntu.com/questions/998491/rsync-ignore-times-parameter-not-working-on-ubuntu-16-04> # << # Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I was referring to the 'T' tag under transfer. If you # look for ' T ' (beware the two spaces) in the man page, it says: An alternate value # of T means that the modification time will be set to the transfer time, which happens # when a file/symlink/device is updated without --times and when a symlink is changed # and the receiver can't set its time. (Note: when using an rsync 3.0.0 client, you # might see the s flag combined with t instead of the proper T flag for this # time-setting failure) I was not able to make rsync to really ignore times (no # reporting this). – Luis A.
