What exactly does beagle?

[Pol Hallen <beagle fuckaround org>]

Hi all :-)

I've a server with samba share and rsyncd on many folders.

On my client I've the share folders mounted with smbmount on server and beagle 
active on this mounting share.

Often, when I use rsync to do a backup of many folders (the same shared) rsync 
copy several files and dir that I don't modified(!)

Can bealge while indexing, modify that file? (access time, or other?)

If I don't active beagle this don't happen.
 
Thanks!

Pol
