I have two mounted disks, both ext3 mounted as /sdb1 /sdc1 On /sdb1 I have a directory, let's call it dirx. 1. rm -rf /sdc1/dirx 2. cd /sdb1 3. tar cf - dirx | tar -C /sdc1 -xpf - Neither dir (/sdb1 and /sdc1) are not accessed by any programs other than the tar program (and of course /sdb1 is the shell's CWD). The shell's history file is in my home dir. After tar: 4. du -sk dirx /sdc1/dirx 2904536 /sdc1/dirx 2802124 dirx So, why this size inflation by 104MiB ? I repeated the process twice. Same difference. Other dirs tarred in this way from sdb1 to sdc1 do not show this discrepancy. Dirx contains mp3's. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
