Exactly; it would force the server to behave like with "--checksum" even if the server has disabled it.
Except that it needs fewer processor cycles. But I see your point about server IO bottlenecks.
Why does it need fewer processor cycles?
Have you ever seen a pure file server where processor usage is the limiting factor?
Yes; just think about Linux NFS... Or an FTP daemon which allows ASCII mode downloads or "get directory.tar.gz" tar-and-gz-on-the-fly... Or just rsync with --checksum. But I second your first question. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
