so I cloned a folder into another disk (formatted as ext4) and it completed successfully.



rsync -aiv --delete source-folder destination-folder


My issue is that if I ran the command above but with --dry-run as an additional parameter, I expect that no files/folders will show up. But all the files and folders shows up again.



Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?



I'm running rsync 3.1.1.



Thanks!
