rsync copies twice

[Martin Steigerwald <ms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I used something like

rsync -a -H --acls --xattrs -S -P /home/ms2/ /home/ms

to migrate my data from encfs to ecryptfs where ms2 is the mounted encfs and 
ms is the mounted ecryptfs.

This appeared to have worked.

But: When I run the rsync again it will copy all files once again, while it 
should notice that they are already copied and do not copy them again.

Is there any known issue with ecryptfs and rsync? Might also be an issue with 
encfs as source filesystem tough. I am now copying my encfs to another machine 
via rsync+ssh onto a BTRFS filesystem to verify this. Okay, this works. On the 
second attempt no files are copied anymore. So it seems that it is an ecryptfs 
issue.

Together with the reported failure to create new files under certain 
circumstances and the more complicated handling for now I switch back to encfs 
even though it might be slower.

But I am willing to test again. Most importantly with a fix for the file 
creation issue I reported.

Thanks,
