John mentioned the various things that can differ between systems. Remember that "du" shows the whole amount of disk space used for a file, including any wasted space, so it's easy for the numbers to be different, especially if the file systems are of a different kind (e.g. one is ext3 and the other is Reiser3). So, it's probable that the block-size is larger on the destination system. If you run a directory listing of both "dest" dirs ("ls -l dest") and the files and sizes match, that is definitely the source of the discrepancy. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
