Summary: destination files with resource forks now have current mtime Product: rsync Version: 3.0.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suppose LaCie Disk B is already a proper backup of LaCie Disk A rsync -aE /Volumes/LaCie\ Disk\ A/ /Volumes/LaCie\ Disk\ B No files will be copied since B is already the same as A, but any files with resource forks will now have their last-modified times changed to the current time on the destination disk. Now running the same command again will cause rsync to recopy those files due to the differing last-modified times. This will cause the last-modified times to revert to what they were before. The result is that every other time you run the command, any files with resource forks will be recopied, even though they haven't changed. I noticed this because I have some 50GB files with resource forks that never change (raw video files). The filesystems on both drives read as "Mac OS Extended". The filesystem for the computer reads as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". The OS is Mac OS X 10.5.2 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
