I have 2 mounts on a single computer the production mount is 100gigs

However, the curiosity comes in with my source data taking up
86gigs of
data on a 100g partition, and as the copy progresses the destination
drive is reporting 240 gigs of usage.
So as far as I can tell, rsync is working and the data integrity seems
good, it's simply taking up 2.5 times the space.
The simplest possibility is that the two partitions are using
different block size, so a small file that occupies one block is
taking more disk space on the partition with larger block size.
