So:
rsync -avHW /src/path /dest/path
Copies, but
rsync -avH /src/path /dest/path
Still copies more and no data has changed on the source or Dest.
I tried
# cd /source
# tar cf - * | ( cd /target ; tar xf - )
Followed by
rsync -avH /src/path /dest/path
But it still copies files.
Looks like tagging a -u to the rsync line fixes it. The destination appears for some reason to get newer timestamps.
"ls -la" shows expected time
"ls -lu" shows close to current time

cp doesnt take all metadata. Try tar/cpio!
# cd /source
# tar cf - * | ( cd /target ; tar xf - )
