I have, ... . No. Under my supervision and care there is windows machine <br>

This file gets copied from drive elsewhere with rsync.<br>

Well. Apparently, TrueCrypt is doing a good job of hiding, and <br>
timestamps don't change on the file. Size doesn't change by nature of <br>
it. As a result, rsync won't archive it, unless checksum is used.<br>
<br>
Or, if you happen to rsync TrueCrypt buckets/files, you have this <br>
observation to double check is data flow goes as expected.<br>
