Dear All,
We sometimes have to replicate large "live" filesystems with many (
sometimes millions, up to few hundred millions ) files on them. (
Copying actively used files is of course a bad idea, but it really helps
to keep the delta small, so one final transfer can later save the day. )
Those options are for handling files/dirs that are specified on the
actual command line they have nothing to do with files vanishing while
rsync is running. The correct solution is to simply ignore exit code 24.
BTW, this is what filesystem snapshots are for.

How do I transfer just the modification times with rsync? I now the file
content is the same but the modification times are different. Is there a way to
do this? Every way that I have tried causes the whole file to transfer as well.
Thanks

Thank you!
I run --times when I use rsync (I actually use the -a flag) but the times do
not transfer over and if I run rsync dryrun with -i I can see that it wants to
transfer the files because of times. When I run rsync a second time with your
suggestion the times do transfer over. I don't
Transferring files to our NAS over fiber. Nothing unusual...

I have never seen rsync do that.
With this two options on a very live system you may need to take into
account this bug as well I reported a while ago:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12569
Due to this I'm currently not using --ignore-missing-args /
--delete-missing but rather -exclude=* -include=- and a autocreated
If you are sure the content is correct you can run rsync with both
--times and --size-only.
This will cause rsync to "fix" the timestamps on files that are the same
size on both ends.

I guess I should also mention that if both trees are local you can use:
find . -print -exec touch "/path/to/wrong/times/{}" --reference "{}" \;

I have never seen rsync do that. What exactly are you doing?

Exit code 2 is "Protocol incompatibility".
Also, sounds like what you really want is --files-from

files-from is part of the command.
