[Bug 1845652] Re: rsync sends everything, not just changes

[peterzay]

On a prior OS (16.04 or 18.04, cannot remember which) the following

rsync -v -a -r -W -p -o -g -t --delete --stats ~/Pictures /media/$USER
/USB-128GB-1/ >bkp_log

would only send differences on subsequent runs with a fat32 USB key.

Your test above seems to indicate that subsequent runs on 19.04 send
everything for vfat.

Therefore, my initial test on 19.04 must have been a fat32 USB key and
not a LUKS/ext4 USB key.

Please close this case if you are satisfied with these explanations.
Thanks.
