Question for rsync

[Yasushi Okubo]

Hi,

We are backing up directories with rsync.   Our server is WS3.0 with 
2.4.21-15.0.2.ELsmp kernel and has the latest rsync rpm:  rsync-2.5.7-5.3E.
The problem we are having is that rsync started changing ctime for any 
files that were checked even providing with -a/-t option.

For example, I added one file to one directory to be backed up.   When 
rsync script got ran, it transferred only one file, but it changed ctime 
for all files in the same directory.

We have several backup servers (but those have a different kernel 
version), but only one machine has this problem.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem ?

Thanks,
yasushi
