You're probably running into one of: file mode differences, owner/group differences, or possibly time differences. Unix and Windows have slightly different abilities to represent sub-second time, if I recall correctly. The mode and owner differences are limitations of the current implementation, as described in: smbfs(7FS) > BTW, I was using smbfs on Ubuntu to do the same exact thing, > with no problems. That's interesting. The Linux smbfs is very similar to the OpenSolaris one w.r.t. user/group representation. The modes on Linux will be the real thing with a server that supports the Unix extensions to SMB. I'd be curious to know which file attribute causes rsync to decide an update is needed. > Is there a mount or config option that might be effecting this? > > Should I just file a bug? There's an RFE for the Unix extensions, if that turns out to be what bothers rsync. That CR is: 6647762 Could you please run rsync with --verbose and try to find out exactly which file attribute is causing false compares?
