Hi, One last item for today :-) I was observing larger-than-expected delta signature sizes for some files. I went looking for why, and came across the fixed block size in the manpage. Per https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/539169/what-is-default-block-size-in-rsync , I believe that this would give approximately the same block sizes as rsync uses: --delta sig:square2:1:1:700:131072 I wonder if this might be a future default? Or perhaps documented in the manpage? This would avoid having exceptionally large delta signatures for things like multi-GB video files and such. Thanks! - John
