Nextcloud version _(eg, 20.0.5)_: `24.0.1`  
Operating system and version _(eg, Ubuntu 20.04)_: `FreeBSD 13.1`  
Apache or nginx version _(eg, Apache 2.4.25)_: `Apache 2.4.54`  
PHP version _(eg, 7.4)_: `8.0`

I recently performed an integrity check, which did not show any issues, but now my clients appear to be copying ALL files to re-sync, even though there have been no changes to the files. Is this to be expected? Why?

```auto
dale@whizzer:/usr/local/www/nextcloud % sudo -u www ./occ --all files:scan
The process control (PCNTL) extensions are required in case you want to interrupt long running commands - see https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcntl.php

Starting scan for user 3 out of 4 (dale_admin)

dale@whizzer:/usr/local/www/nextcloud %

```

Fwiw, the integrity check was done while troubleshooting an error when attempting to upgrade to 24.0.2 from 24.0.1 (still unresolved). [Upgrade 24.0.1 to 24.0.2 error "The following extra files have been found: dist"](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/upgrade-24-0-1-to-24-0-2-error-the-following-extra-files-have-been-found-dist/141131)

Cannot confirm this behaviour.
