Probably a very basic question but it has me puzzled????
I have copied a directory with a dozen or so subdirectories and 4000+ files from an Ext3 filesystem to a Dos (fat32) filesystem on another drive.
I then checked the properties of each and found that the number of files and of sub-directories on each is identical, but the sizes in MiB differs greatly, the dos one being over 5 times the size of the Ext3 one.
Is this because of the differing filesystems , or do I have to now compare the individual files?
