When doing the following: rsync -aHn --progress --checksum --numeric-ids sourcehost targethost::backup it show "Building file list..." and you see the file count progressing. However, when adding the -i option to see why it would transfer a couple of files, like this: rsync -aHn -i --progress --checksum --numeric-ids sourcehost targethost::backup the "Building file list..." message and the file count aren't shown. This seems a little strange to me... This is with 2.6.8. (I've noticed data corruption when using linux 2.6.18 on SMP Opteron systems, Tyan S2891 motherboards... with 2.6.17.x it seems fine... This is the reason for the --checksum runs.) Paul Slootman

If you specify --progress without some kind of name outputting, rsync turns on -v. With -i, it doesn't need to enable name logging, so it doesn't force -v. Solution: specify -v if you want it. ..wayne..
