Is there a way to get a reliable listing of the source files, do a

rsync -avn /source /destination
I didn't do a dry run so I just used -av to copy a windows partition.
Then I used Carl's suggestion with diff. This is what I got, starting
with the report rsync gave at the end:

Why does rsync report reading only about 1 in 7000 of what it wrote?
And why did rsync switch to lower case two directory names that were all
upper case?
