rsync general question

Hallo!

I'm trying to use rsync.

At first, ev开发者_StackOverflow中文版erything looks very good: http://paste2.org/p/1180092

After that, i copied some of the files manually and runned rsync again in dry mode:

http://paste2.org/p/1180100

Why hasn't changed something in the --stats, although only the permissions and the timestamp have to be updated and not the full files need to be copied?

greetings

Obviously because nothing in the file contents need to be changed - so no more data is moved between the servers except the metadata that is always exchanged.

BTW - this is more of a ServerFault question then a StackOverflow question..
