Can anyone explain this? ~$: du -bsh Maildir/ 98M Maildir/ ~$: tar cf Maildir.tar Maildir/ ~$: du -bsh Maildir.tar 112M Maildir.tar ~$: find Maildir | cpio -o -H newc > Maildir.cpio 204433 blocks ~$: du -bsh Maildir.cpio 100M Maildir.cpio
Why does tar have 12M more overhead than cpio? This Maildir is the lkml since Jan 1, so it contains ~20,000 messages/files, but ~734 bytes per file seems like a bit much for overhead.
