Hello peterzay,
IF you are facing something like:
https:/ /unix.stackexch ange.com/ questions/ 85993/why- rsync-attempts- to-copy- file-that- is-already- up-to-date
Then I would recommend reading the 1st answer to that question, which explains why and when rsync would try to re-sync everything again.
If not,
Could you please provide a better description of the problem, and, perhaps, a way on how to reproduce, step by step, the issue you are facing ?
