When I use the command
rsync -avhc "/mnt/remotes/remote_disk_dir/" "/mnt/user/local_disk_dir"
repeatedly, rsync seemingly keeps finding differences based on the checksum and therefore overwrites a few files. Normally if no differences are found, the output would be something like:
sending incremental file list
sent 23 bytes received 130 bytes 2.67M bytes/sec
total size is 61.88G speedup is 75.66
I keep getting outputs like this:
sending incremental file list
file1.mp4
file7.mp4
file45.mp4
file68.mp4
sent 1.64G bytes received 73 bytes 2.62M bytes/sec
total size is 61.88G speedup is 31.94
It is *not* the same files that is overwritten each time. The total size is about 60 GB with individual file sizes either around 10 MB or 500 MB. I have run the command 10 times and it still happens.
I run the command from the terminal in Unraid 6.12.13 and the remote share is on a Windows 10 machine.
Why does this happen?
I am a complete beginner when it comes to Linux and command line.
