Hello all, I have a strange problem where rsync is copying over all files instead of just the ones that have changed.
My setup: -------------- Backup server runs a script that calls rsync in more or less this form: "rsync --rsh=ssh u...@remote.server.com:/backups/stuff /localbackup" Of course, I use a # of options, but the main ones are "-axS" Just in case, here are the other options I use: --delete --force --stats --cvs-exclude --bwlimit=100 --exclude-from=rsync-excludes.txt --delete-excluded Backing Up Other Machines ---------------------------------------- I've tried and use this same script from the same backup machine against other servers (on different hosts) and found that the exact same set of options worked just fine. Other Tests ----------------- I've scoured the lists and Web for solutions and tried things like --size-only, --ignore-times, --checksum and --whole-file. I've broken down my list of options to nothing and tried countless combinations (using dry runs), but haven't had any luck. I keep getting the notorious "Matched data: 0 bytes" in my stats. At this point, the only thing that I can think of is something to do with the target server (CentOS release 5.4, 2.6.18.8, i686), but I can't think of what exactly. Any help would be appreciated. TIA. _KJH
