Issue

The unexpected data is transferred by SnapMirror even if the file has not been modified

For example:

  1. Use vi or Notepad++ open a text file and save it without any modification
  2. Update SnapMirror relationship with command snapmirror update -destination-path 
  3. SnapMirror transfers the entire data size rather than expected performing an incremental transfer
