Hi!

Actually yes, I'd like to complain.
It was not swap, it was mount -o loop, but I guess that's the same case. Then rsync refused to work on that file... and being on slow ARM system it took me a while to figure out WTF is going on.
So yes, we have problems with mtime, and yes, they matter. Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
