7; instead of a 't' meaning "The timestamp is different and I'm not fixing it.". If the file wasn't being modified the timestamp wouldn't be different and rsync would have just skipped it. On 10/9/24 14:06, McDowell, Blake via rsync wrote: > Hello, > >

Question About Rsync and Modification Times

Hello, I have a question about how/why rsync updates modification times, which I haven’t been able to find an answer to. I have two locally connected storage devices running TrueNAS Core: one is new and empty, while the other is filled with files. When I run the following rsync command: rsync

nt is correct you can run rsync with both --times and --size-only. This will cause rsync to "fix" the timestamps on files that are the same size on both ends. On 04/07/2017 02:53 PM, McDowell, Blake via rsync wrote: > How do I transfer just the modification times with rsync? I now the fil

How do I transfer just the modification times with rsync? I now the file content is the same but the modification times are different. Is there a way to do this? Every way that I have tried causes the whole file to transfer as well. Thanks -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitt

Hello, We have our mac connected to a SAN via 10Gbe fiber network. Being thunderbolt model macs with no PCI slots we are using external boxes (Sonnet, ATTO) to interface between the thunderbolt and fiber connections. When using rsync -avvPhi we get speeds of approx 110MB/s but with a simple

Thanks Paul. That should help! Kevin, For a local copy is running a plain rsync transfer ( rsync ) essentially the same as a "drag-and-drop"? The benefits of using rsync in that situation would all come from choosing flags appropriate to the desired transfer? Thanks, Blake -Original M

rk mount of some kind to make it a local copy instead of letting rsync do the networking. Anyways, if rsync isn't doing the networking then forcing it to do a delta transfer would only make it take even longer. On 06/24/2016 02:59 PM, McDowell, Blake wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > I h

Hello, I’m running rsync -avPhi to move large video files to a remote server. Often we have to stop a transfer midway through to push something else to the server. My hope was that the -P flag would invoke --partial and the transfer would pick-up where it left off. This does not seem to be hap

the T means that the timestamp is wrong and rsync is not fixing it because you don't have --times or --archive in your command line. On 06/08/2016 08:17 PM, McDowell, Blake wrote: > Hi Steven, > > Yes, both file systems are the same. > > rsync -nri --modify-window=1 > >
