Data Migration using Rsync to Isilon

Question

Using Rsync command to copy NFS data from NetApp to Isilon but it is not reporting file & folder count correctly. What is the Rsync switch I need to use to get the correct file/folder count ? I'm using '-avlHpEAXogh --stats' swtich and it reports file count wrong . Total number of files inside the souce share is 319. Total number of folders inside the source share is 41. The rsync script output below shows , Number of files as (319 files + 41 folders =360) which is weird and the number of file transferred shows the correct file count of 319 but no details about folders. If someone looks at the copy statisctics they would think that some files are not copied. Is there a way to get the correct file/folder count on the Rsync output? What is the switch used for that This is the final output of Rsync. Number of files: 360 Number of files transferred: 319 Total file size: 1.18G bytes Total transferred file size: 1.18G bytes Literal data: 1.18G bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 10.63K File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 1.18G Total bytes received: 8.14K sent 1.18G bytes  received 8.14K bytes  44.60M bytes/sec total size is 1.18G  speedup is 1.00 thanks in advance

Yes, the stats are ill-worded, but you have deciphered them correctly. Hey, rsync is open-source, you can fix it to your needs! -- Peter
