--- Comment #1 from Kevin Korb <rs...@sanitarium.net> --- Unfortunately rync's --checksum is just that dumb. It checksums *EVERYTHING* on the source and the target before it does anything else. Since --checksum is almost always the wrong thing to do nobody seems to be willing to add basic intelligence to it. Unfortunately, what you are trying to do is one of those few instances when --checksum is the right thing to use. So, that is just the way it works. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
