I copied some big files (2 GB each) to my S3QL file system which has compression and encryption enabled. When I run du to see the file sizes in the S3QL file system and compare this to the original file sizes (also obtained with du), I find that the S3QL files are always a few bytes smaller than the original files except in one case where the S3QL file is a few kB smaller.
Is this expected or is there something funny going on here? Also, I want to use rsync (with rsnapshot) for automated backups to my S3QL volume (which is actually an Amazon Cloud Drive mounted with acd_cli) and so I'm wondering whether this file size mismatch will make rsync think that the files are always different and it will always re-upload them. Or perhaps the difference in file size will break the quick check algorithm and rsync will have to read the entire file (i.e. download it from ACD) to figure out that it's actually the same file, even though the file size may be reported differently.
