Michael,
My guess is that you used rsync but did not use H. retry your rsync with: rsync -aHx /usr /1/ H will preseve hard links for you and probably make most of your directory size differences go away.

I even umounted both filesystems, but the destination is bigger: sys1 Blocks 8378368 Used 2631368 Avail 5747000 sys2 Blocks 8378368 Used 2966566 Avail 5411812 Both are VMs, have a 16G disk, partitioned same size, both on LVM, copied with rsync. xfs_info show the same for both: meta-data="" isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=524288 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2 data = "" blocks=2097152, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=2560, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 So why is there such a huge diff in size? 300M, 2.6G:2.9G, is a big number. I found these dirs to be very different: ( I rebooted here compared to results before, but same strangeness ) # du -s /1/usr/lib/locale/* /usr/lib/locale/*|sort -n|grep YU 20 /usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 1760 /1/usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 But comparing them directly, they are the same: # du -s /1/usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 /usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 1760 /1/usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 1760 /usr/lib/locale/sh_YU.utf8 So what makes "du" show a huge different when the dir above gets scanned, versus when you compare dirs directly? |
