I just discovered two directories with the same number of files and the same
number of hard links but different size:
# stat /home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn \
/hdsync/home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn
File: `/home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn'
Size: 8192 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 52060 Links: 2
Access: (0775/drwxrwxr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ david) Gid: ( 100/ users)
Access: 2006-01-30 04:15:15.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2006-01-16 19:33:28.000000000 +0100
Change: 2006-01-16 19:33:28.000000000 +0100
File: `/hdsync/home/david/linuxburg/fax.old/docq_ps.nnnn'
Size: 16384 Blocks: 32 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 811h/2065d Inode: 1128588 Links: 2
Access: (0775/drwxrwxr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ david) Gid: ( 100/ users)
Access: 2006-03-11 16:45:25.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2006-01-16 19:33:28.000000000 +0100

The file systems are identical, except that one is mounted "ro":
# mount | grep -E '/hdsync/home |/home '
/dev/sda1 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/sdb1 on /hdsync/home type ext3 (ro,noatime,nodiratime,acl,user_xattr)
The kernel is a standard SuSE 9.2 one:
# uname -a
Linux pserver 2.6.8-24.14-default #1 Tue Mar 29 09:27:43 UTC 2005 i686 athlon
i386 GNU/Linux
What could be the reason for the different sizes? They confuse our backup
script.
