Link - I was reading your blog post about backing up your media files, and how vfat sucks at some of this stuff. Have you looked at the "--size-only" switch? It works well for me when I'm using rsync to backup my mp3s, etc, and is a hell of a lot faster during the "building file list" phase. I don't know if it works well (or at all) for fat32 though since I don't have any fat drives kicking around.

Nothing works well on vfat I just reformat all my drives as ext3. Rsync works great then. I use it all the time!
