I noticed something strange when using verbose > file. According to the manual:In the file that recorded the verbose output, I saw this:It appears that rsync performs an additional step beyond the two standard checks: it performs a checksum step. In the config file we can read about "checksum":Since we're talking about a “dry run,” I don't think this will be a problem. Could the checksum cause a significant delay? Could I check this by adding a line to the configuration file, such as “checksum = no”?
PS1: /usr/share/doc/rsync/examples/rsyncd.conf: "examples"? Is it the actual rsync config file? The manual states: Am I in a daemon mode????
PS2: At this point, rsync freezes:
Code:
Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" al‐ gorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time. Any changes in the other preserved attributes (as requested by options) are made on the destination file directly when the quick check indicates that the file's data does not need to be up‐ dated.Code:
