I copied some directories on one removable drive to another removable one using rsync.The command used was:rsync -avPS <source> <destination>rsync doesn't report any errors.After syncing I used diff on some random directories to check for differences or errors. The synced files are apparently identical (checked with a simple ls -lh), nevertheless diff reports that they differ.diff <source_dir> <destination_dir>The files are all RAW photo files and their sidecar files (text files).What could be the reason for the file differences?EDIT:The filesystems are(partial output from fdisk -l):SRC:/dev/sdb1            2048  1953521663   976759808    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFATDST:/dev/sdd1              63  1953520064   976760001    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFATThis is the output of ls -l:SRC:-rw------- 1 twan twan 177556828 Apr 19 12:38 20160403101701-07.tiffDST:-rw------- 1 twan twan 177556828 Apr 19 12:38 20160403101701-07.tiffHere is the output of diff for this specific file:Binary files /media/twan/GrafxMedia/photos/hdr/20160403101701-07.tiff and ./20160403101701-07.tiff differ
Why do two directories differ after syncing with rsync?
rsync;diff
