Rsync: what happen if i copy file manually in the middle of the run, will overwrite?
by postcd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F87B)
Hello,
when rsync is running and and i copy some file manually into same place rsync will be writing to same file, what it will do? Overwrite the file, or it does a check and which are conditions? I currently do not know which parameters my running rsync has.
In another words, can i run multiple rsync from multiple sources to same destination without risking unnecessary overwrites? Assuming the modification times and file sizes at source are the same.
