mtime vs ctime

Hi,

We use an rsync (rrsync, to be precise) based back-up solution. Every
so often an
iSCSI based file-system gets brought up and left connected for the
night. After a
mount event rsync will back that volume up, including server TB of
data that haven't
been modified, but the ctime is newer than the mtime.  Is there a way
to stop this
behaviour?


Cheers,
Andrej
