rsync vs. unison

2007-09-30 Thread Noam Birnbaum
Hey all, I'm looking into a two-way WAN mirror on two boxes running Mac OS X 10.4. It seems that both rsync (with the -u option) and unison could do this. Any suggestions on how to choose one over the other? Many thanks, noam Noam Birnbaum http://maccentricsolutions.com/ 877.luv.macs x89

for now there is no caching - anyway - how should checksums be cached? if mtime/size is no reliable method for detecting file changes and checksum is the only method - to detect if you need to update the cache you need to ... checksum and thus a checksum cache is quite nonsense, imho. > I s
