All,
This may be off-topic in that I am creating files in opensuse, then running rsync in a cygwin environment to make a second copy.
I'm wondering if this is a timestamp issue between how openSUSE and cygwin/windows do things.
Yes, known thing. There is a two second grainity (? no, granularity) on ntfs partitions. rsync has a setting to account for it. I don't remember the option name, should be in the manual.
I have not read your entire post - did I guess right? ;-)
You at least sent me looking for generic NTFS / Windows issues with rsync and I found several. You caused me to restart my rsync :( Turns out I was running a 32-bit version of cygwin/rsync so it was taking over a minute per file to copy. The new command is using 64-bit rsync (from cygwin)0 : rsync -r --modify-window=5 --progress --stats .... I have my files numbered, so I can see which ones are transferring. With this command it is doing: file01,02, 35, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 43, ,,,,, It is taking about 30 seconds per file since they are 1.5 GB. I don't know why is skipped the files from 03 to 34 and 36/37, My guess at the moment is this is a Windows/Cygwin bug and if I used rsync exclusively from openSUSE I would be fine, even if I stick to NTFS on the external.
