[Bug 923032] Re: rsync keeps syncing file that isn't changed

[rew]

This would happen if the timestamps remain "not the same". This usually
happens on e.g. FAT filesystems where the timestamp resolution differs
from that on Linux. Check the man page for the "solution". If that
helps, report back with what

ls --full-time

shows on both source and destination files, and on what filesystem each
of the files lives.

(the "solution" is here intended to pinpoint the problem.)

Title:
  rsync keeps syncing file that isn't changed

Status in “rsync” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As in summary. I've got dvd iso image, and the only thing that is
  being done to the file is mounting it in fstab. Yet, everytime i
  rsync, the file is being transfered. I have several others cd isos
  mounted this way, and they behave properly.
