With one -v you only get the names of transferred files and directories with timestamp changes. With an extra -v you get a list of all the files in the transfer, but only files that had no changes at all are output with " is uptodate" appended onto the end, so you can filter out those lines and end up with a list of all changed items (including group, time, permissions, etc.). Beginning with 2.6.4, you'll be able to use the new "%i" (itemized changes) logging format to ask for a list of all the changes, e.g. --log-format='%i %n%L'. The easy way to request that this log-format be used is to use the new -i (--itemize-changes) option, like this: % rsync -ai source/dir host:/dest/ .d..t..g dir/ >f.st... dir/file.c .f..tp.. dir/touch-file This shows you that the directory "dir" got its time touched and its group changed, the file "dir/file.c" was transferred (sent = ">"), which updated its size and its timestamp, and the file "dir/touch-time" had both its time and its permissions tweaked. Note that you don't need to use -v when using a --log-format. Also beginning with 2.6.4, you won't need to use -v to get delete messages, which will be logged as long as the format string has either %i or %o in it. In the case of %i, the value is "deleting" for a file that is being deleted on the receiver. Rsync 2.6.4 is about to start its pre-release testing, but you can try it out now by building one of the "nightly" tar files on the rsync website, if you like. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
