Mapped Drive

[devzero at web.de]

for now there is no caching - anyway - how should checksums be cached?
if mtime/size is no reliable method for detecting file changes and checksum is the only method - to detect if you need to update the cache you need to ... checksum .... and thus a checksum cache is quite nonsense, imho.

if you use rsync on a mapped drive, you have no "local" and "remote" storage location from an rsync`s point of view, because rsync isn`t being executed on the remote node. so if rsync calculates a checksum it`s always transferring the whole file via mapped drive.
