[SOLVED] 5.0-rc8a mover script - How does it handle duplicate files?


Recommended Posts

I've done a few searches on the forum and wiki but haven't really found an answer.

 

EDIT:

 

Link to wiki page I'm referring to:

 

http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk#The_Mover

 

This seems to suggest mv is used, but doesn't mention how duplicate files are handled. I've also seen references to rsync in some forum posts concerning the mover script, but again, no mention of duplicate file handling anywhere.

 

Can anyone confirm how duplicate files are handled by the mover in this version?

For example:

 

A file exists on a user share, called movie.mkv - //tower/Movies/movie.mkv

 

A new file is created (same video, but different audio), it is transferred to the cache drive and saved to the same location in the directory structure - //tower/cache/Movies/movie.mkv

 

Would it be:

a) replaced on the user share

b) ignored and deleted from the cache drive

c) updated to the user share with just the changed bits

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

ps. apologies for not including an example in my first post!
