Problem with rsync

[Michael]

Thanks.... I decided to reformat it and rsync it all again. And it isn't
giving me any errors (yet). I am formatting it ntfs. Can I do fsck.ntfs or
would I just do ...vfat? What about for a reminder? Could I put, "rsync
-aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/SDULTRA64
*unmount sudo fsck.ntfs /dev/sdc" or do comments not work in this case?
