I'm rsyncing some files from a linux server down to a FAT partition on my laptop (FAT because I want to access the files from both Linux and Windoze). Unfortunately rsync thinks some of the files are different (when they're not) and therefore deletes the copied file and recopies it down. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Here's the command I'm using: rsync -av -e ssh --delete --delete-during --force --modify-window=5 linuxserver:stuff/ stuff/ I've tried --modify-window - no effect. I've tried --delete-during, before, after - no affect. The filenames are a mix of upper and lower case, with and without spaces and special characters - a possible cause of problems? I mount the target partition like this: /dev/hda2 /media/hda2 vfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 -- Sonia Hamilton.
