Dear samba.org,

Is it possible to generate with rsync the report of the difference between the source folder and the destination folder? For example in DRY-mode generate info like:

Synced 631GB, out of synced 12GB of the data.

Best regards,
Mikhail

This sort of question should be asked on the mailing list, not by creating a bug.

As for your question, the only thing you can do to figure out actual content differences is use something like --only-write-batch.
