Thanks Kevin, but I don't understand your message, or at least how it answers my "real question" (last paragraph)... and by the way --delete defaults to --delete-during for current versions of rsync as far as I know... > rsync doesn't really give much control over the order it does things > in.

...ce it is going by the filesystem without any sorting. With --delete-during the directory indexing and therefore the deletions are running in parallel with file transfers. This means it is quite common for it to delete things in directories it isn't transferring files in.

...AGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't believe the transferring part of rsync will jump around. It will transfer files it deems need it in the order it finds them which will be 1 dir at a time. Though when it enters a child dir that doesn't mean it is done with the parent dir.

Thanks for your message again. I appreciate your answers. I don't mind about the order of the files, and neither really about the order of the directories: I'm interested about whether rsync might transfer some files into a directory, then transfer some files into another which is outside of the first one, and then transfer more files into the first directory again. And with the --del

Dear rsync community, I hope that someone can help me with this issue, probably related to my lack of understanding of how rsync recursive works. In the output was displayed something like this (I don't remember in the lines below whether rsync was deleting or creating files or both, but I think this won't matter): --8<---------------cut

The only explanation I can find for such behaviour is that incremental recursion is being used, which leads me to deduce that the lines with path outside of the directory "A/B/...", can only indicate folder creation. But yet I cannot buy this explanation because why would such "atypical folders" be created in the middle of the recursion "A/B/...", rather than together

Hello, I always run rsync as follows: "sudo rsync -PaSHAXvi --del DIR1/ DIR2". I would think that whenever I see in the output of this rsync command a few lines of the form A/B/... and then further down in the output again a few lines of the form A/B/... (dots are dirs or files), then every line between such two lines is also of this form. I then discovered that this is incorrect
