Same thing that happens anywhere, as long as the flash is presented
as a filesystem with POSIX semantics to a platform where rsync can
run. I use rsync for automatic backups of Memory

Cc-ing this back to the rsync list. Vikas added some more info in
an off-list mail to me, that straightened things out in my mind,
pointing out that if the dst file is specified on the cmdline as
a simple basename, because you've cd-ed to the target dir and are
doing a pull, then rsync does just as

This has been discussed before.
The only way to restrict what rsync-over-ssh can do is to lodge the
restriction in the authorized_keys command= field, restricting what
command a given key can run.
For a single rsync invocation it's easy to figure out: just set up
command=/path/to/wrapper

I think I can help a little here.
Each rsync at the destination has its own separate remote rsync
process whacking on the file.

The approach you describe is quite often used. Look in the

Is the hardware comparable? It can be hard finding truly comparable
hardware between sparc and x86 --- performance is a multidimensional
attribute, and any given pair of boxes will scale differently on
different performance metrics. Any given application of rsync will
weight various performance me

Yup. Exactly right. When you're using ssh (or rsh, as far as rsync

How about using something like the Cryptographic File System (CFS),
where the files are stored encrypted locally, and the encryption is
confined to blocks. This is done to make the encrypted files
random-addressable in the CFS implementation, but a consequence it
seems to me is that at least some

Disclaimer: I've never tried rsync's server (daemon) mode, don't
know anything about using it. I always use rsync over ssh.
If you have ssh available, I recommend it very highly. It should be

Hooray! Congratulations! Glad your problem isn't any more.
For whatever it's worth --- and not to disagree
I agree with Martin Pool's diagnosis about --times, or --archive
which includes it along with many other options. If some of the
systems can't represent file mod times to the same resolution, the
--modify-window option may be helpful as well.
If you don't care to update timestamps, you can use --
