Hi! I have a very short and simple question: When using the --stats option in rsync, see result below, what does the term: "File list size: 46" mean? As "Number of files" is 1, I am sure it does not reflect number of files copied. But what is its significance? Number of files: 1 Number of files transferred: 1 Total file size: 51380224 bytes Total transferred file size: 51380224 bytes Literal data: 3556096 bytes Matched data: 47824128 bytes File list size: 46 I am sorry if this has been asked before. I have been trying to search samba.org for the answer, but not found anything. Thanks for your feedback! Best regards, Richard Taubo

This is not (yet) documented in the man page. ..wayne..
