Bug Description

As in summary. I've got dvd iso image, and the only thing that is being done to the file is mounting it in fstab. Yet, everytime i rsync, the file is being transfered. I have several others cd isos mounted this way, and they behave properly.

This would happen if the timestamps remain "not the same". This usually happens on e.g. FAT filesystems where the timestamp resolution differs from that on Linux. Check the man page for the "solution". If that helps, report back with what

ls --full-time

shows on both source and destination files, and on what filesystem each of the files lives.

(the "solution" is here intended to pinpoint the problem.)
