rsync checksum to compare directories
# rsync -rvnc --delete /brick0 /brick1
I've confirmed that separate devices are mounted to /brick0 and
/brick1. What I'm seeing for ~ 20 minutes now is only the device
mounted at brick0 is being accessed, and yet I'm seeing piles of files
(verbose option) being listed.
I'd expect that there'd be some back and forth as the checksum
comparison happens almost simultaneously. Any ideas how this ought to
work? Is rsync caching the checksums for brick0, and then it'll go
compute checksums on brick1 and compare?
Maybe I should use diff -qr because this is just too much verbosity
anyway. I don't need every file listed. I only want to know if there
are any files that are different (deleted), but I don't know if I get
any delete notification from rsync without -v.
