I am (surprised), and FWIW I've never seen this behavior - simply moving files around the physical platters, but with no logical changes, shouldn't trigger TM to re-backup these files (it shouldn't consider them as new *or* changed - certainly the filesizes and checksums are the same, the time stamps and other fs metadata are the same, the paths are the same, etc.) In any case, I've resized partitions without TM caring. This would be as if running a disk defrag would force a complete TM update... that, too, would not be normal. I think something else is up Kevin - have you looked at the TM log entries, it's pretty explicit about what it's doing, so you should be able to see exactly what this chunk of data is. -R _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
