Hi,
Is it because the dos destination is a flash disk, and the OS is
buffering writes to the flash disk.
However, the OS is reporting the size currently on disk, not the the
actual file size.
md5sum - did it report a difference?
Cheers,
Derek.

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?
TIA
Barry
