This isn't a bug, it is the rsync behavior. rsync silenty transfers your data unless you use the verbose flag.
With the verbose flag as above will do as you wish: $ rsync -rn src/ dst -nv sending incremental file list foo sent 39 bytes received 15 bytes 108.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN) This isn't a bug or an appropriate RFE I don't think, it is a design decision. -- -n option does not report what would have been transferred https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
