I understand. Will you accept this as a wishlist item? I could imagine that rsync uses finer granularity when comparing stat output, such that when -p/-o/-g are not passed, it doesn't compare those parts of the stat() struct? Apart, wouldn't it make sense if rsync first ran one checksum over the entire file, and only does the chunks if the file actually differs? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
