I am copying from a rsync --daemon
(have tried from both W2K/cygwin & Linux daemons) to a W2K machine.
Some files get copied every time even though they haven't been touched
since the last copy. I have experimented and deturmined that the file
size seems to be important. If the file is between 926 & 933 bytes
long it will always be copied!! Other sizes and possibly other aspects of
the files are causing this as well. I'm using
rsync -avz otherend::something somewherelocal
The same file from the same server into a Linux machine behaves
exactly as it should (i.e. copied the first time only unless changed)
uname -a on the W2K gives:
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 FRANKNT-2 1.3.4(0.47/3/2) 2001-11-05 16:15 i686 unknown
and rsync --version
rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26

As far as I can see all files are updated, so nothing is lost, but it is
wasting bandwidth which is one of the great things about rsync!
Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if there are fixes for it?

Does using --modify-window=2 solve your problem? Some windows filesystems don't have 1 second granularity timestamps. - Dave Dykstra On Tue, Jun 11, 2002 at 09:53:57AM +0000, Frank McNamara wrote:> I am copying from a rsync --daemon > (have tried from both W2K/cygwin & Linux daemons) to a W2K machine. > > Some files get copied every time even though they haven't been touched > since the last copy.

That seems to have done the trick! Thanks very much for the tip.
