That seems to imply that avoiding unnecessary checksum calculations would double the protocol overhead, which I think is overly pessimistic. IIUC, the current protocol, without checksums, amounts to (greatly simplified): SenderReceiver I have (name1,meta1) (name2,meta2), ... I need #s 3,8,13, ... Send requested files Write files to destination as received To do checksums only when needed: SenderReceiver Checksums have been requested. I have (name1,meta1) (name2,meta2), ... Based on sizes, I know I need #s 3,13, ... and I may need (#5,checksum5), (#8,checksum8), ... Send known-needed For each "may need" compute checksumN if match send "#N matches" else send "#N no match" send #N data Write files to destination as received If that is "a two-pass thing", the current protocol must involve 1.9 passes :) -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

The list of files on the source is generated and transferred to the destination before rsync knows that the destination file is different. To make rsync checksum only the files with same size would mean changing the filesystem scan to a two-pass thing (send the list of filenames plus their sizes, wait for the destination to tell you what files need checksumming, do that and send the filenames again, now with checksum data), and retransferring file metadata again. Remember that rsync is basically a tool optimized for very fast local IO and much lower network bandwidth, so such a two-pass feature could possibly greatly increase the network traffic overhead (i.e. traffic not related to file data itself). That said, I'm sure that if someone builds a patch to implement something like that via yet another commandline option, no one would complain :-) Note that transferred files are always checksummed anyway, as described at the end of the -c option manpage description.

I'm not using it to validate the transfer; I'm using it to decide whether or not to transfer. I'll compare the transfer list with a "regular" heuristic rsync afterward. > > Also, rsync's -c is rather dumb as it computes checksums for files > that have different sizes so they can't possibly be the same and it > computes checksums for files that only exist on one end and therefore > has nothing to compare them to.

Re: --itemize-changes not recursive (not printing created files inside created directories)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 - -c checksums everything *BEFORE* transferring anything. It would only validate an rsync if run *AFTER* an rsync has already finished and nothing has changed since the rsync ran. Also, rsync's -c is rather dumb as it computes checksums for files that have different sizes so they can't possibly be the same and it computes checksums for files that only exist on one end and therefore has nothing to compare them to.

--itemize-changes not recursive (not printing created files inside created directories)
Hello list, Using rsync version 3.1.0pre1 protocol version 31.PR14, I ran this command to sync two local filesystems: rsync -rvvctpgonh --itemize-changes --progress --stats --log-file=/root/rsync.log /mnt/ntfs/vmdk/ /mnt/ntfs/restore/ -r = recursive -vv = verbose -c = checksum compare -t = transfer modification times -p = set destination perms to match source -g = set destination group to match source -o = set destination owner to match source -n = dry run (should cause --progress to be meaningless, but harmless) -h = human readable output Output includes this summary: 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of files: 443,967 (reg: 419,427, dir: 24,540) 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of created files: 2,581 (reg: 2,511, dir: 70) 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of deleted files: 0 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Number of regular files transferred: 2,744 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total file size: 560.66G bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total transferred file size: 196.26G bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Literal data: 0 bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Matched data: 0 bytes 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list size: 589.75K 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list generation time: 0.047 seconds 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total bytes sent: 20.97M 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] Total bytes received: 1.36M 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] sent 20.97M bytes received 1.36M bytes 2.28K bytes/sec 2013/12/11 16:35:14 [3349] total size is 560.66G speedup is 25,111.56 (DRY RUN) --itemize-changes has output 70 lines pertaining to created directories (matches the summary output above), similar to this: 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cd+ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/ $ awk '$4 ~ /^cd/' rsync.log | wc -l # ==> 70 However, the log file contains 0 occurrences of '>', '<' or 'cf' . A bit of arithmetic indicates exactly the "Number of regular files transferred" ( = 2,744 from stats output) are missing from the log: $ wc -l rsync.log # ==> 441279 ( - 56 lines of stats/info + 2,744 unreported files = 443967 files/dirs, as summarized) Questions: 1/ Why doesn't --itemize-changes report "cf+" lines for files contained inside created directories ("cd+++")? For example, I expected output similar to: (faked output) 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cd+ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/ 2013/12/11 13:54:23 [3349] cf+ $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-947408474-2404634453-201028329-3641/desktop.ini 2/ Of the 2,744 transferred files, 2,581 are created (I expect each, dir or file, as a "c[fd]+++") ; this leaves 163 transferred files, presumably because they were changed (but not created), also not reported. Why were they not reported? Ultimately, I would like a list of all differences, both file and directory, sent to the client. I suspect --itemize-changes is a bit archaic, and I should be investigating --info= customized output. Thank you!
