Rsync does not verify writes. --checksum doesn't verify anything. Sounds like you want a file verification tool. The simplest would be md5sum.

Hello. Does rsync verify its writes?

Re, 'info rsync'.

Maybe I just being stupid, but there's no mention of verification in the 'DESCRIPTION' section, so despite the words in the 'OPTIONS' section, '-c, --checksum' topic (which I may be misinterpreting), I assume rsync does not verify except for the checksum directive.

I admit that I'm paranoid. ;-) ...Please clarify.

Regards, and Thanks,
Mark Filipak.
