For stats, rsync uses the word "file" inconsistently. When reporting
the total "Number of files", it indicates a total number of filesystem
objects which consists of regular files, directories, symlinks,
specials, and devices. When reporting number of "files" transferred,
it refers only to regular files. I use the following patch to sort
out these various file types in --stats. The one thing I'd still like
to add is number of files that are uptodate and number of inodes
relative to number of hard links. Then everything would actually add
up. For what you're looking to do, this patch should work.
Without the patch:
[bombich:~/Desktop/rsync-3.0.2] sudo ./rsync --stats -aH /Volumes/
source/ /Volumes/target/
Number of files: 80
Number of files transferred: 24
Total file size: 18384 bytes
Total transferred file size: 69 bytes
Literal data: 69 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 3557
File list generation time: 0.002 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 4966
Total bytes received: 743
sent 4966 bytes received 743 bytes 11418.00 bytes/sec
total size is 18384 speedup is 3.22
With the patch:
[bombich:~/Desktop/rsync-3.0.2] sudo ./rsync --stats -aH /Volumes/
source/ /Volumes/target/
Number of files: 80
Number of directories: 30
Number of regular files: 38
Number of symlinks: 9
Number of devices: 2
Number of special files: 1
Number of re-linked hard links: 4
Number of files transferred: 24
Total file size: 18384 bytes
Total transferred file size: 69 bytes
Literal data: 69 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 3557
File list generation time: 0.002 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 4963
Total bytes received: 740
sent 4963 bytes received 740 bytes 11406.00 bytes/sec
total size is 18384 speedup is 3.22
