In fact, I'm not so sure. Here another information, where /backups is a XFS
partition:
~# du --apparent-size -sh
/mnt/cephfs/0/5/05286c08-2270-41e7-8055-64eae169bd46/data/
2.8G /mnt/cephfs/0/5/05286c08-2270-41e7-8055-64eae169bd46/data/
~# du -sh /mnt/cephfs/0/5/05286c08-2270-41e7-8055-64eae169bd46/data/
701M /mnt/cephfs/0/5/05286c08-2270-41e7-8055-64eae169bd46/data/
~# cp -r /mnt/cephfs/0/5/05286c08-2270-41e7-8055-64eae169bd46/data/
/backups/test
~# du -sh /backups/test
701M /backups/test
~# du --apparent-size -sh /backups/test
701M /backups/test
So I definitively don't understand of du --apparent-size -sh...
