I'm running a test of this now. The '-a' flag is apparently equivalent to '-rlptgoD', so my '-rtvhiO' differs only from your '-avhi' in that I'm excluding '-lpgoD', i.e. -l = copy symlinks: I don't have any -p = preserve permissions -g = preserve groups -D = preserve device files ...and I'm including -O = omit directories from -t check I was deliberately excluding the groups and permissions checks because I had noticed a similar tendency to repeatedly update groups (as well as timestamps) when rsyncing my main library to my backup (with -avhi). I added '-O' because I'm not bothered when the directory was created - I'm only interested in the files. Symlinks and device files shouldn't matter in my case. So I don't believe that that's going to have any effect on the timestamp check that seems to be failing in my case. In fact. watching the output of the rsync process I see I'm now getting a lot of '>f..t..g...' updates (the 'g' is expected due to the '-g', but the 't' is still there). And I'm also getting a number of 'Operation not permitted' errors with 'chgrp' and 'mkstemp' - should I be running this with 'sudo'? I'll run the rsync command again once this one completes, but I'm not hopeful that the 't' updates will stop. What's causing this? It can't be anything to do with the RPi clock, because both disks are physically connected and mounted to the same RPi, and in any case it's a file attribute, not a clock check. Could it be that although the timestamps are the same to a certain precision, the different disk formats are storing them slightly differently? My source disk is 'PFS/NTFS' and my target disk is 'FAT32'. I wonder if I should use the '--modify-window=NUM' option to 'check modification times with reduced accuracy'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110496 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
