This is completely counter intuitive. I'm using rsnapshot to backup a
few private machines. I will have to set up separate rsnapshots for
those parts of the backup that suffer from this <expletive>, to avoid
bogging down the data parts by unnecessary checksum calculations.

This problem may affect many other backups too. Did anybody research
backup programs before this <expletive> was introduced to Debian?

The servers are all Debian, except for my home router which is running
OpenWRT. But for curiosity, does anybody know if Ubuntu is using the
same <expletive>, or are they doing the usual, i.e. not follow Debian?

Thanks,
Lupe Christoph
