Hi,

I'm using rsync 2.6.9 in Cygwin to keep files on a NFS partition in sync with
files on a FAT32 partition (external hard drive). The problem is that after
reconnecting the HD to the computer, rsync won't identify the files on the
FAT32 partition as up-to-date on the first try. Thus it will copy all files to
the external drive again (although they're already up to date). Only after
complete re-copy/rsync of the files the program will work as intended for the
following executions of rsync. But after a reconnect of the HD it all happens
over again.
The command line is

$ rsync -rtW --modify-window=1 --delete /cygdrive/d/source /cygdrive/g/dest

Any solution in sight? Thanks in advance!

Regards, Nils.
