See the bf(cvs(1)) manual for more information. -dit(bf(--csum-length=LENGTH)) By default the primary checksum used in -rsync is a very strong 16 byte MD4 checksum. In most cases you will -find that a truncated version of this checksum is quite efficient, and -this will decrease the size of the checksum data sent over the connection, -making things faster. - -You can choose the number of bytes in the truncated checksum using the ---csum-length option. Any value less than or equal to 16 is valid. - -Note that if you use this option then you run the risk of ending up -with an incorrect target file. The risk with a value of 16 is -microscopic and can be safely ignored (the universe will probably end -before it fails) but with smaller values the risk is higher. - -Current versions of rsync actually use an adaptive algorithm for the -checksum length by default, using a 16 byte file checksum to determine -if a 2nd pass is required with a longer block checksum. Only use this -option if you have read the source code and know what you are doing. - dit(bf(-T, --temp-dir=DIR)) This option instructs rsync to use DIR as a scratch directory when creating temporary copies of the files transferred on the receiving side.
