Just a bit more information on this.
As I couldn't understand if that was an AMD64 issue as illogical as that
might be, I decided to put that to the test. So, I pull out an other
AMD64 server and it's running 3.8, same fsize and bsize, one drive, etc.
Use rsync to mirror the content and the results are consistent with the
i386. So, that prove it's not that at a minimum.
So, the source is 4.4GB and expand to 7.7GB.
I have no logical explications what so ever.
So, I will stop here and just drop it as I have nothing else logical I
can think of to look at why that might be.
I will just have to put it in the unknown pile and leave it alone.
One thing for sure, I will be wiping that box out to be sure next.
Unless someone have an idea, again, not a problem, but something very
weird I was trying to understand and find some logical explication too.
I will just have to take it as such and leave it alone.
So, case close as I have no more idea or clue.
This was done on a brand new server and using rsync to copy identical
files from the source to the destination.
