One possibly better solution would be to create some kind of CRC of the xattr data (MD4/MD5/whatever) and send just that in the file list for each file. This would allow you to figure out when to update the xattr data, but the protocol would need to be modified to send the xattr data during the file-update phase (and possibly to allow the reciever to request just an xattr update without doing a file update). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
