I understand that. However, I do not know what git-annex is doing to detect changes so I certainly see much less than you ;) Would it be possible to do a less-strict version of the change detector? > I assume it must be syncing from a repository on the USB drive, if it's > attached? That's a separate activity from the startup scan. I guess so. I find it hard to divine what git-annex is doing, because not all log messages have the useful timestamp messages, so it gets hard to parse. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
