Summary: rsync uses more space in destination even with -S
specified
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.2
Platform: PA-RISC
OS/Version: AIX
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: core

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #3485 +++
I have a similar issue as Bug #3485 but on 2 AIX servers. The target
filesystems continually run out of free space even though they are larger in
size.
I am unable to use the sparse flag on rsync as the application relies on this
fact. I am unsure if the following highlights the possible problem but I have
attached an example of the AIX fileplace command showing an application file
and the first time I have copied this file using rsync.
Source server
# fileplace -v ALACTCP
File: ALACTCP Size: 19724 bytes Vol: /dev/cslv
Blk Size: 4096 Frag Size: 4096 Nfrags: 5
Inode: 6707 Mode: -rwxrwxrwx Owner: root Group: system
Logical Extent
--------------
00894164-00894167 4 frags 16384 Bytes, 80.0%
00894175 1 frags 4096 Bytes, 20.0%
5 frags over space of 12 frags: space efficiency = 41.7%
2 extents out of 5 possible: sequentiality = 75.0%
