  1. Sync of course wanted to overwrite every file on the Pi.

    Still wants to overwrite the entire contents of the drive.

    You're assuming this based on what behavior exactly?

    It still has to index the files on the pi even if you copied them over from an existing source. Pre-copied files will be indexed, their index information compared, and only replaced if the index information (which is based on segmented checksums of the files) differs.

  2. The rescan interval is primarily used on operating systems that have problems notifying applications of file changes (macos primarily)

    Having a rescan interval that is too fast will cause your system to slow down massively.

    If you're primarily using linux and windows systems, having a short rescan interval is of no benefit as those platforms have file-change notifications that sync has implemented.
