I copied ("cp -a DVD data2/DVD") the 3 DVD images (27 GB) from the IDE
drive to the SATA drive. After the copy, I did a "du" in the source
and destination directories. All of the destination files were smaller
than the source files. I checked /var/log/messages and didn't see any
errors.
At that point, I had to leave for work, so I haven't done any more
investigation. When I get back home, I'll of course retry the copy.
Anybody got any clues about what I should look for / try next?
Du shows disk blocks which might be different on different filesystems.
Look at the size as reported by 'ls -l' instead. Or run md5sum on both
copies and compare values.
