The -c option causes rsync to checksum EVERY file on both ends BEFORE rsync does anything else. It checksums files that are on only 1 end. It checksums files that are different sizes. It will not catch a hardware problem preventing rsync from writing a file correctly. On 03/23/2017 03:12 PM

2017-03-23 Thread steven banville via rsync
Hi I am using "rsync" to send files from a source machine to a remote machine as one typically does. I would like to clarify that the "-c" option will cause the checksum on the receiving end to be created by reading the already written file and NOT the data stream

Hello all. I've been using rsync for quite some time and when I originally began using it I was religious about including the -c option. I've read the man page and noticed the significant performance hit I take in using it. I was wondering if someone would be able to clarify for m
