Hello all. I would more suspect the gzip behaviour that changes the file permissioning during compression.... And can also let both files: xxx AND xxx.gz after an error... I have found such unexpected files on nfs systems.
By the way I am interested in a method where I could avoid to send .gz files if the uncompressed version exists on remote In other term a way to use rsync to compare compressed and not compressed files. Is there a way to tell rsync to use an external comparison program ? As there is a --size-only option, there is no --date-only option...
