rsync images

[John Griffiths <john@capmon.com>]

I had 2.2r2 cd iso images on one of my servers

I thought i would try using rsync to convert them to 2.2r3 images (i had heard this could be done)

when i try to sync to the 2.2r3 images up on the mirrors i use the following command:

rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192 debian.uchicago.edu::debian-cd/stable/official/2.2_rev3/i386/binary-i386-3.iso

which in almost no time at all gives me the output:

Number of files: 1
Number of files transferred: 0
Total file size: 604977152 bytes
Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 36
Total bytes written: 123
Total bytes read: 72

wrote 123 bytes  read 72 bytes  14.44 bytes/sec
total size is 604977152  speedup is 3102446.93


but it does this even if i repeat the command

leading me to think the images aren't getting synced?

either that or rsync is even faster than i thought it was..

can anyone advise?

or should i just generate fresh images?

thanks,

John
