Hello - I've been doing some experimenting this morning with logging and can't seem to get exactly what I'm looking for. What I'd like, is to be able to get a listing of all files that changed on the local side and that were updated to the remote side via rsync. The literal data info tells me how many bytes were transferred total, but I'd like to get the break down per file, or at the least just get a listing of the files rsync saw as different and therefore updated. I've played with --progress and --stats and not really found the info. The --progress option seems to show every file in the root regardless of whether it's actually different or not. The closest I've gotten is with the --log-format %f%l%b option which tells filename, file length, and bytes transferred. The problem with this is that there is always at least 40 bytes transferred for every file, so I'm not sure how I could tell if there is a very slight change in the file. Any ideas on how to do this accurately? Thanks, Max

Check that the name has been entered correctly.) However, I later found out that I was having DNS problems on a relay so that is why I did not get any of the rsync list emails. So combine the two, and I had no idea that all six messages were being posted, so I apologize. Does anyone have any suggestions for my original question of getting a log of updated files? Thanks, Max

Unchanged files do not appear in the list unless you use more --verbose and even then the get additional labelling. A single -v without --progress should meet your minimum requirement. If it is listing every file you may be having a lot of false positives and want to review the options you are using.> Any ideas on how to do this accurately?If you mean accuracy with regard to bytes transferred, no. Perhaps someone else already knows but right now i don't care whether that is bytes of the file or bytes on the wire. Either way you won't get a measure of bytes of change. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.

However, my linux to samba (local mount to W2K), are the ones that seem to be logging everything regardless of change. The only difference in options is that the linux to samba is not using the --archive switch because of change of owner issues. Should the rsync to samba being performing this way? Thanks, Max
