From: ht AT inf DOT ed DOT ac DOT uk (Henry S. Thompson) Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2004 16:51:26 +0100 Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.1006 (Gnus v5.10.6) XEmacs/21.4 (Security Through Obscurity, linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Every month or so I rsync a from a large HTML-structured mail archive (UN*X resident) to my PC. Up until a few months ago, this worked as expected, with only new files getting copied. More recently (no, sorry, I can't be more precise), I started getting everything every time. The target location on my PC is under a textmode mount (this hasn't changed). If I change and rsync to a location on a binmode mount, it only fetches once (correctly). Is this a bug or a feature, and if the former is it already known? ht Cygcheck extract: cygwin 1.5.10-3 rsync 2.6.2-2 Sorry if this is an FAQ, Google didn't find anything for the terms I tried. . . -- Henry S.
