--itemize-changes will cause rsync to tell you what it thinks is

Hi, thank you so much! Today I used a little different way of doing it, and another computer, and the behaviour is the same. It seems that the reason is a different timestamp. So the whole file is replaced just for this? I've always read that Rsync was using an advanced checksum mecanism instead of timestamps-only?

Your rsync isn't networking. That means --whole-file is forced making rsync work pretty much like cp. If rsync was networking it would determine what is different about the files then use the existing version + changes to make a new file (this is just extra effort when rsync isn't networking).

different.  Also, -z is counter-productive when rsync isn't networking.

Thanks again. It seems that "--progress" is redondant with "-P"(but it's because I use a list of rsync commands skeletons, and some doesn't have "-P" and I want to be sure to always have the progress indication). But, since I will now always use "-i", do "-v" and "--progress" add something to "-i"?


-i, -v, and --progress all only affect the output. Once -i is in play -v adds a header and footer and --progress of course adds the per-file progress bar. -P is just --partial and --progress. I am not a fan of -P as those 2 options are very different and I don't really see why they should go together.
