I agree that it would be a cool feature. It's unlikely that the existing codebase would be extended for it, but something like rdiff might support it eventually. In the meantime, just dd across ssh. > rsync algorithm would be great for this task, isn't-it ? Not directly; the basic rsync algorithm cannot update in place. You might adapt it to do so though. > I'don't mind how amount of works this feature need, > but some folks are interresting in ? You don't mind how much work other people do for you? How gracious. Or were you volunteering to write it? If so, adding in-place updates to rdiff would be a good place to start. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
