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? ;-)
I forgot to say: NTFS stores timestamps with 100 nsec accuracy, so the 2-second issue must be a Windows API issue, not an underlying NTFS format issue. (I did find discussion of the 2-second bug, but I'm not sure that is my problem.) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724290(v=vs.85).as... If rsync from openSUSE has this problem too, then it really is a bug, but likely an upstream rsync or NTFS-3g bug. For now I've only seen it in cygwin/windows world.
